Reference dimensions are not universal manufacturing tolerances. Check the actual cell and holder.
The type status describes documentary checks of core specifications, not every fact or suitability for a device.
Understanding A27 before replacement
Documented battery characteristics
A27: Alkaline zinc / manganese dioxide, 12 V, Ø 8 × 28.2 mm. These are reference battery dimensions, not a verified device fit. Cell and battery pack shapes, contact layout and charging requirements can differ.
This is a primary battery; never attempt to recharge it.

Other designations
These codes identify the same type family. Match the load variant, terminals and device requirements separately.
Documented brands
Brand presence comes from product documents or documented code mappings; current availability is not checked.
Product-specific observations
Capacity belongs to an individual product and test regime. It is not a universal value for this battery type.

Replacement limits
Device compatibility has not been verified. Dimensions alone do not prove that a battery fits or works.
Replacement evidence by category
Other markings of this technical type
27A
These markings resolve to this type in documented sources. The exact variant and device requirements still matter.
Conditional replacement: review requirements
No conditional cross-type relation is recorded.
Known obstacles to direct replacement
No explicit obstacle is recorded here; that is not evidence of compatibility.
Other type pairs without a recorded assessment
This pair has not been assessed. No compatibility conclusion is available.
No automatic replacement recommendation. Device compatibility has not been verified. Dimensions alone do not prove that a battery fits or works.
Documentary limits
A27: Published dimensions differ by manufacturer or reference method; tolerances and fit have not been established. Published technical records: Energizer 8.0 × 28.2 mm; CAMELION 8.0 × 28.5 mm; everActive 7.6 × 27.3 mm. Device-level compatibility must be verified separately.

Common questions
What size is A27?
Ø 8 × 28.2 mm
Can A27 be recharged?
No. Do not charge primary cells.
Can A27 replace another battery?
Not on the basis of size or matching names alone. Check the exact device requirements and the directed compatibility notes. This catalogue does not contain a guaranteed device-fit recommendation for A27.
