Why this verdict
- The physical envelope matches.
- Nominal voltage differs: 1.5 V versus 1.2 V.
- Chemistry also changes from Alkaline manganese dioxide to Nickel-metal hydride.
What to verify in the device
Check the original compartment label, the current manual, polarity, terminal style and whether the device explicitly permits a chemistry or rechargeable alternative.
