LR14 battery
What replaces a LR14
LR14, 14A, MN1400, E93, AM2, Baby
1.5 V alkaline, 26.2 × 50 mm (diameter × height)
The LR14 is a single-use 1.5 V alkaline cylindrical. The codes below are the same physical cell sold under different manufacturer names, and any of them will fit.

- Nominal voltage
- 1.5 V
- Chemistry
- Alkaline
- Size
- 26.2 × 50 mm (diameter × height)
- Typical capacity
- 7500 mAh
- Rechargeable

Codes that mean the same battery
| Code | Fits? |
|---|---|
| LR14 | Yes — same cell |
| 14A | Yes — same cell |
| MN1400 | Yes — same cell |
| E93 | Yes — same cell |
| AM2 | Yes — same cell |
| Baby | Yes — same cell |
| UM-2 | Yes — same cell |
| Type 14 | Yes — same cell |
| R14 (zinc-carbon size) | Yes — same cell |
Codes that look close but are not
| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
|---|---|
| D / LR20 | Much larger at 34.2 × 61.5 mm. The plastic C-to-D adapters sold for the purpose work mechanically but give you C capacity in a D socket, which is roughly half the runtime. |
The LR14 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
- Larger torches and camping lanterns
- Portable radios and boomboxes
- Musical instrument amplifiers and effects
- Some motorised toys
Around 7000–8000 mAh at a low drain. Same 1.5 V as an AA; the extra size buys runtime and current, not voltage.
Common questions
- What is equivalent to a LR14?
- LR14, 14A, MN1400, E93, AM2, Baby, UM-2, Type 14, R14 (zinc-carbon size) — all the same 1.5 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
- Can I use a D / LR20 instead of a LR14?
- Much larger at 34.2 × 61.5 mm. The plastic C-to-D adapters sold for the purpose work mechanically but give you C capacity in a D socket, which is roughly half the runtime.
- Is the LR14 rechargeable?
- No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
