Powerful in many applications

The Varta V12GA button cell is a versatile energy supplier for a wide range of electronic devices. It is used in analogue and digital cameras, remote controls, calculators, watches, electronic toys and small medical devices such as digital thermometers. Its reliable performance makes it the ideal choice for all applications that require a compact and durable energy source.

Reliable alkaline technology

The alkaline manganese technology used (Zn/MnO2) stands for an excellent price-performance ratio and high availability. Compared to simple zinc-carbon batteries, it offers higher capacity and better performance, especially in devices with medium to high energy requirements. The high quality workmanship from Varta also ensures a high degree of sealing and protects your devices from damage.

Efficiency and safety with a system

The V12GA is designed for a wide temperature range and reliably provides energy even under demanding conditions. The individual packaging protects the cell from short circuits and environmental influences until it is used.

FAQs about the Varta V12GA / LR43 button cell

What do the designations LR43, AG12 or 186 mean?

These are alternative designations for the same battery size according to various standards (IEC, JIS) or from other manufacturers. The Varta V12GA is compatible with all batteries that have one of these designations, such as LR43, AG12 or 186.

How long can this battery be stored?

Alkaline button cells from Varta are characterised by very low self-discharge. When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, the shelf life is several years without significant capacity loss.

What is the difference between an SR43 or 386 battery?

The main difference is in cell chemistry. LR batteries (like the V12GA) are alkaline, while SR batteries are silver oxide-based. Silver oxide batteries offer a more stable voltage over their entire service life and are often preferred for precision clocks, but are more expensive. For most applications such as cameras, calculators or toys, the alkaline version is the right choice.

How should this button cell be disposed of?

Button cells must not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of the empty battery at the designated collection points in stores or local recycling centres to ensure environmentally friendly recycling.
