Battery Identification by Size and Shape

A free tool for identifying a loose, unmarked battery. Measure its diameter and length on a calibrated on-screen ruler, or print a 1:1 paper gauge, and find out whether it is an AA, AAA, CR2032, 18650, LR44 or another standard cell.

How to identify a battery

1
Pick a mode

Choose "Measure on screen" for calibrated rulers, or "Print a gauge" to download a paper sheet.

2
Calibrate or print at 100%

On screen, match the blue rectangle to a bank card. On paper, print at Actual size and check the 50 mm bar.

3
Measure diameter and length

Measure the battery's diameter and its length or height; the tool matches both to a standard cell.
