What replaces a LR8D425
LR8D425, LR61, 25A, MN2500, E96, MX2500
1.5 V alkaline, 8.3 × 42.5 mm (diameter × height)

Codes that mean the same battery
| Code | Fits? |
|---|---|
| LR8D425 | Yes — same cell |
| LR61 | Yes — same cell |
| 25A | Yes — same cell |
| MN2500 | Yes — same cell |
| E96 | Yes — same cell |
| MX2500 | Yes — same cell |
| AM6 | Yes — same cell |
| LR8 | Yes — same cell |
| Type 25 | Yes — same cell |
Codes that look close but are not
| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
|---|---|
| AAA | Two millimetres wider and two longer. AAAA is a distinct size, not a smaller AAA, and one is not a substitute for the other. |
| N / LR1 | Shorter and fatter at 12 × 30.2 mm. Both are uncommon sizes, which is exactly why they get confused. |
The LR8D425 is a primary cell and must never be put in a charger. Charging a sealed primary battery builds gas pressure inside a can with no vent designed for it, which is how they rupture or catch fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist for several sizes and carry different codes — check the code, not the shape.
Where it turns up
- Surface Pen and Microsoft active styluses
- Some Wacom and HP stylus pens
- Slim laser pointers
- Small medical penlights
Six of these are what is inside a 9 V battery — which is why prising one open is a known way to get an AAAA in an emergency. Do it with a proper 6LR61 alkaline, not a lithium or a rechargeable, and expect to void every warranty involved.
Common questions
- What is equivalent to a LR8D425?
- LR8D425, LR61, 25A, MN2500, E96, MX2500, AM6, LR8, Type 25 — all the same 1.5 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
- Can I use a AAA instead of a LR8D425?
- Two millimetres wider and two longer. AAAA is a distinct size, not a smaller AAA, and one is not a substitute for the other.
- Is the LR8D425 rechargeable?
- No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
