Description
These GP 27A alkaline batteries give you a reliable 12V power source in a small format, supplied here as a pack of five. They suit a wide range of everyday devices, including car alarms, key fobs and remotes, electronic lighters and some cameras. If you have run out at the wrong moment, a multipack means you have spares ready to hand.
We rate these for steady performance and a good operating life across a wide range of temperatures, so they hold up whether the device lives outdoors in the cold or in a warm room. The alkaline chemistry keeps output consistent through the discharge, which matters for small devices that need a dependable signal. The 27A size (also listed as MN27, A27 or L828) is a common fit for many keyless entry remotes and alarm systems.
Before you order, check the battery your device takes, as the 27A is easy to mistake for similar cylindrical cells. Store spare batteries somewhere cool and dry, and keep them away from young children. Once fitted, these cells should give you months of use in typical low-drain applications, and having four extras in the pack saves ordering again too soon.
