Battery Details

This battery is not usually on sale to the general public, although you can get hold of them if you look hard enough.
The LR932 is used in the construction of the A23 (see below) and there are several "hacks" (here's one) showing how to get 8 of these from an A23.
There are no listed equivalents or other details that I can find, however I've split an A23 (see below) and added the details for this cell.

Some sources claim that this cell is equivalent to a 395 but a quick check shows the 395 is 2.6 mm thick, not 3.1 mm. Close but no banana! the difference could be made up with some folded aluminium cooking foil perhaps?

Equivalents:

None Known. If you know differently, please let me know!

A23 split open, click for detailed view.         On the right you can see a small (300 x 227 pixels) image of an A23 (actually a Duracell MN21/23, but it is the an A23 equivalent). Clicking on the image will bring up a much larger image (1010 X 760 pixels) which has the component parts labelled and shows them in greater detail.

        Basically the construction is:

  1. Positive "pip" with red insulating collar (the collar so the outer case will not short out the battery).
  2. Eight LR932 cells stacked Pos to Neg.
  3. A metal wave shaped spacer to take up any slack and keep the cells and "pips" in good, solid, contact.
  4. Negative "pip" with black insulating collar (the collar so the outer case will not short out the battery).
  5. Waxed paper cover wrapped around the side of the stack made up of 1 to 4 above (again, so the outer case will not short out the battery).
  6. Metal case painted/printed with brand, size and other detail.
    The metal case is rolled over at the ends to stop the component parts falling out and rolled into a tube around the "insides".
