Energizer LR1 Alkaline Batteries (E90) - 2 Pack

This is a pack of two Energizer LR1 alkaline cells, also carrying the code E90, each one running at 1.5V as printed on the pack. LR1 is a small cylindrical cell in the specialist rather than the household group, so it sits apart from the AA and AAA cells most people keep in a drawer. The two cells come held side by side on a hanging blister card, ready for a shop hook or a stock tray. The chemistry is alkaline throughout, the standard single use chemistry for everyday devices.

Match the code before you buy rather than judging the cell by eye: if the battery compartment, the manual or the old cell itself reads LR1, E90 or N, this is the size you want. Those names cover the same cell, and equipment makers print whichever one they were given. A cell that looks close but carries a different code will not seat properly, and forcing one into a compartment it was not made for is not worth the risk. Keeping a spare pair to hand makes sense for anything that runs on a single cell, because a specialist size is rarely something the corner shop can supply at short notice.

Each cell gives a nominal 1.5V, so a device taking two in series sees 3V. Alkaline cells are single use and should never be put on a charger. One unit of this listing is the two cell pack, and the minimum order is ten units, which comes to twenty cells. We stock Energizer alkaline cells in the common household sizes alongside this one, in AA, AAA, C, D and 9V, as well as lithium coin cells.

How many cells do I actually receive?

One unit of this listing is a card of two LR1 cells. The minimum order is ten units, so the smallest quantity you can buy works out at twenty cells in total.

Is LR1 the same thing as E90 or N?

Yes, those are three names for one cell size. Energizer prints LR1 and E90 on the pack, and equipment manuals often call the same cell N, so any of the three points you here.

What voltage does each cell give?

Each cell is a nominal 1.5V, as printed on the pack. A device that takes two of them in series will therefore be running on 3V in total.

Can these cells be recharged?

No. Alkaline is a single use chemistry, so once a cell is flat it should be replaced and recycled rather than put on a charger of any kind.

Does the pack give a shelf life figure?

It does not.

Will an AA cell work instead if the device is empty?

No, an AA is a different size and will not sit correctly in an LR1 compartment. Always fit the size the device specifies rather than improvising with a larger cell.
