Description
The 28L is a 6V lithium cell, and the first thing to know is that it is not a household size. It is listed in the Specialty range, and it appears under several codes: A544, PX28L, 2CR11108, V28PXL and 2CR13252 are all printed on this pack, and all of them name the same cell. Lithium is what allows that voltage in so small a case. One lithium cell sits at 3V, and the 2CR at the front of the code says how the 6V is reached: two 3V cells in series inside one sealed body.
Because this is a specialist size, the safe way to buy it is by code rather than by shape. Take the old cell out, read what is printed along its side, and match it to one of those five; any of them means this is the right part. Where the device is already empty, the compartment or the manual usually prints the code too. Voltage is the part that does not flex. A 3V cell of a similar diameter may sit in the holder, but it will not drive a circuit built for 6V, and a higher voltage cell is not something to improvise with either. Getting the code right before ordering matters more here than usual, because these are sold in multiples.
Each pack holds a single cell on a blister card. Our minimum order is six, in multiples of six, so the smallest purchase is six packs and six cells, which suits a service desk or a workshop keeping spares to hand. The pack prints no shelf life figure, so we quote none, and it carries a keep out of reach of children warning that is worth respecting with a cell this small. It sits alongside our wider Duracell range, which runs from AA alkaline through lithium coin cells such as CR2032, CR2025 and CR1620 to silver oxide and hearing aid sizes.

Frequently Asked
Which codes does this cell answer to?
A544, PX28L, 2CR11108, V28PXL and 2CR13252 are all printed on the pack, and every one of them names this same 6V lithium cell.
Why is it 6V when most lithium cells are 3V?
The 2CR at the front of the code describes the build: two 3V lithium cells in series inside one sealed housing, giving 6V from a single unit.
How many cells do I get, and what is the smallest order?
One cell per pack. The minimum order is six, in multiples of six, so the smallest purchase brings you six separate blister packs and six cells.
Can I fit a 3V cell instead if it looks the same size?
No. Voltage is not interchangeable, and equipment designed around 6V will not run properly on half of that, whatever the diameter of the cell.
