Side-by-Side Comparison Cylindrical Cells

AAAA vs. N / LR1

Comparing 2 standards across 5 specifications. 3 key differences identified.

Comparing:
AAAA
N / LR1

A AAAA battery (IEC designation LR8D425) is a 1.5V Alkaline cell measuring approximately 8.3mm in diameter and 42.5mm in length -- smaller than a AAA. It's used in devices with especially tight internal space, such as laser pointers, some styluses, and compact LED penlights.
