Hey guys, I need help identifying a smaller battery that's missing from my light-up skeleton...

Posted by Mr. Havens (aka EdwardHavens) Oct 3 '22, 11:20

Long story short, missing a battery from a light-up skeleton I bought at Target years ago. It's no longer sold, and there's nothing on the skeleton that identifies what kind of battery it needs. It's smaller and possibly slightly fatter than an A23 battery, but I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

My thought went to an N battery. The 18500 would be the right width but is about AA length -- nm - zork Oct 3, 11:51
Wikipedia has a list, maybe 1/2AA or 4SR44 based on height? -- (link) - Max Oct 3, 11:24 1
- Yeah, this would be my guess as well -- nm - oblique Oct 3, 11:30
Fingers crossed the skeleton works on 12V and in that case search for A23 battery -- nm - JD Oct 3, 11:22 6
- Look at the pic I posted. A23 does not fit. Too long. -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 3, 11:26 5
  - oh, look at this, maybe 2 button batteries stacked in the slot -- (link) - Max Oct 3, 11:28 4
    - Thank you, Max. It was three button batteries, but I never would have thought of that. -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 3, 11:33 3
      - Same. If it had been a long slot "oh just multiple AAA batteries" but I've only ever used devices with 1 button and wouldn't think to stack them. -- nm - Max Oct 3, 11:39
      - *blush* I'm the idiot. Of course that was too easy. Yay, Max -- nm - JD Oct 3, 11:35 1
        
        Occam's razor and all that. Far more likely to be a bunch of common batteries than one we've never heard of and had to wiki :) -- nm - oblique Oct 3, 11:39
