9V Battery vs. N / LR1
Comparing 2 standards across 7 specifications. 7 key differences identified.
A 9V battery (IEC designation 6LR61, commonly called PP3) is a rectangular battery measuring approximately 48.5mm x 26.5mm x 17.5mm with two snap terminals. Alkaline 9V cells output 9.0V nominal from six internal 1.5V cells in series, with typical capacity around 400-600 mAh.
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.
