Searching the internet by "Palmtronic LC-5 battery", I find CR 2025 as the only recommendation. To me, it seems that a CR 2025 is too small and a CR 2325 would be more appropriate.

The manual says: "Use a LF 1/2 W", whatever this means. I couldn't find any information about this ancient battery type.

Are you sure it says "LF 1/2 W" and not LF 1/2 V"? I found several cross references to LF 1/2 V.

When you say CR2025 is too small, do you mean thickness, diameter, or both?

The CR2025 is 20x2.5.
The CR2032 is 20x3.2.
The CR2430 is 24.5x3.0.


You might want to try the CR2430 if you can find one.
