Super Power A23 Alkaline Batteries 2-Pack

The Super Power A23 Alkaline Batteries 2-Pack is a high-voltage 12V speciality primary cell designed for compact electronic devices that require concentrated energy bursts for signal transmission. This single-pack battery utilises a stacked-cell alkaline chemistry to provide stable power and long-term reliability in small-scale hardware, ensuring consistent performance in security and remote-access equipment. This is a house brand product packed specially for Checkers and group stores.

Product Specifications and Technical Details

• • Battery Type: Speciality Alkaline (non-rechargeable) primary cell.
• • Size Designation: Standard A23, also internationally identified as 23A, V23GA, MN21, or L1028.
• • Voltage Output: Nominal 12V output, providing the necessary electrical potential for long-range RF transmission.
• • Chemistry: Alkaline Manganese Dioxide stacked-cell configuration.
• • Storage Stability: High energy retention with a low self-discharge rate, remaining operational for several years in storage.

Ideal Applications and Performance

• • Home Security: Specifically optimised for wireless alarm sensors
• • Remote Access: Provides reliable signal strength for automotive key fobs, garage door openers, and electric gate remotes.
• • Professional Tools: ideal for specialised electronic hardware including laser pointers, digital callipers, and wireless camera shutter releases.
• • Medical Devices: Suitable for some models of digital thermometers and small-scale medical monitoring equipment.

Safety and Maintenance Guidelines

• • Handling Protocol: Avoid touching the battery terminals with bare fingers if possible; oils from the skin can increase electrical resistance.
• • Ensure the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are correctly aligned as per the device markings to prevent a short circuit.
• • Storage Advice: Keep in a cool, dry location in the original packaging; do not store loose with other batteries or metal objects.
• • Disposal Requirement: Mercury-free formulation; depleted cells must be recycled at battery recycling points to ensure environmental safety.

Common Frequently Asked Questions

• • Can the A23 battery be recharged? No, this is a primary alkaline battery; attempting to recharge it is dangerous and may cause the cell to leak or explode.
• • Is an A23 battery the same as an N battery? No, while they look similar in size, an A23 battery is 12V, whereas an N battery is typically 1.5V; they are not interchangeable.
• • Why is my remote range decreasing? A drop in signal range is a common indicator that the 12V output of the A23 battery is depleting and requires immediate replacement.
• • Are these batteries leak-proof? These cells are constructed with a secure seal to minimise the risk of leakage, though it is best to remove them from devices during long periods of non-use.
