Side-by-Side Comparison
Cylindrical Cells
AA Battery vs. N / LR1
Comparing 2 standards across 5 specifications. 5 key differences identified.
Comparing:
AA Battery
N / LR1
A standard AA battery measures 14.5mm in diameter and 50.5mm in length. Primary Alkaline cells output 1.5V, NiMH rechargeable cells output 1.2V. Inserting a 3.6V 14500 Li-ion cell into 1.5V AA devices destroys the circuit.
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.
