Common Applications

LR20 is used every day in these classes of devices — the cell is matched to each duty below, and every pack is tested against the appliance profile before dispatch.

Flashlights & torches

Keychain lamps and pocket flashlights. The high-rate button cell drives bright LEDs on demand and stores safely in a pocket for years.

Radios & portable audio

Radios, portable audio and wireless doorbells. Standby drain is tiny, so the cell keeps the receiver alive between battery changes.

Industrial devices

Meters, PLC memory backup and test instruments. Industrial channels order these cells with per-batch COA and long shelf-life stock.

Emergency lighting

Emergency lighting and exit signs. The cell maintains the battery-backup circuit that fires up the lamp when the power fails.

FAQ

What is an LR20 battery?

LR20 is the D-size 1.5V alkaline cell (34.2 mm × 61.5 mm, ~18000 mAh) for flashlights, radios and industrial equipment.

Is LR20 the same as a D cell?

Yes. LR20 = D cell = R20 (R20 is the carbon-zinc version).

Can an LR20 be recharged?

No — the LR20 is a primary (non-rechargeable) Alkaline battery. Attempting to recharge it may cause leakage, fire or explosion; for rechargeable options see our rechargeable battery page.

More common questions
