FAQs about the Varta V23GA special battery

What do the designations A23, 23A or MN21 stand for?

These are alternative designations for the same battery type from other manufacturers or according to different standards. The Varta V23GA is compatible with all batteries bearing one of these designations, such as A23, 23AE, MN21 or 8LR932.

Why does this small battery have such a high voltage of 12 V?

Inside the V23GA are eight small 1.5 V alkaline button cells, which are connected in series. Due to the series connection, the individual voltages add up (8 x 1.5 V = 12 V). This high voltage is required for the operation of small radio transmitters in remote controls.

Is the V23GA battery rechargeable?

No, the Varta V23GA is a primary battery that cannot be recharged. Any attempt to recharge the battery is dangerous and can lead to the destruction or leakage of the cell.

How should this battery be disposed of?

Special batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Please take the empty battery to the designated collection points in shops or municipal recycling centres to ensure environmentally friendly recycling.
