Side-by-Side Comparison Cylindrical Cells

26650 vs. N / LR1

Comparing 2 standards across 4 specifications. 4 key differences identified.

Comparing:
26650
N / LR1
26650 →

A 26650 Li-ion cell measures 26mm in diameter and 65mm in length, used in high-drain devices like flashlights, power tools, and RC-hobby battery packs. The format is produced in multiple chemistries with different nominal voltages, so '26650' alone does not guarantee a specific voltage.

N / LR1 →

An N battery (IEC designation LR1) is a 1.5V Alkaline cylindrical cell measuring approximately 12.0mm in diameter and 30.2mm in length -- between a AAA and a AA in size. It was historically common in pagers and remains used in some medical devices and specialty flashlights.
