Anchor remote control

[DaveyG]

anyone got one of these controllers off ebay.

I'm trying to find out the battery type for the remote

You'd just need to open the remote to find out what battery it uses.

I did, it only has a slot, no battery, about 25mm x 6mm. Hence the question

Another eBay bargain!

One useful thing you should know is the way cells are numbered. A CR2025 is 20mm dia and 2.5mm thick and a CR2032 is the same dia and 3.2mm thick.

I see that Google offers 2430 and 2450 coin cells, so maybe the thicker is yours?

It's only likely to be one of a few. Get the exact diameter with calipers and wander into Sainsbury's and measure a few. With luck you won't get knocked off for looking suspicious!

Unfortunately not a coin type cell, its more of a small cylinder call like aa

Could it be an A27? A 12 volt cell, approx 28 x 8 mm dia.? IIRC that was the cell used by a winch remote I bought off Ebay some time ago. Not the exact same item as the OP's though.

 

[DaveyG]

Thats what I thought, so bought some but way too big

A23?

Amazon.com: LiCB A23 23A 12V Alkaline Battery (5-Pack): Home Audio & Theater

Edit: No, too big I see.

 

[DaveyG]

Yep, too long

There are a number of small 12v mini sized batteries, many for cameras, ours uses one that’s about 1/3 length of AAA, got it from a camera shop

Found this which might help.

I'll answer my own question for the archive.

Its an LR 27A 12v

Isn't that the same as my suggestion in post no. 8, which you dismissed as far too big?
