HI,
I went to Radio Shack to find this battery but could not find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I could possibly locate this battery online? I searched, but could not find it anywhere.

It is needed for an ITI/GE Glassbreak sensor, but I know other GE wireless devices use it as well.

Many thanks

among others. If you google it you'll get several suppliers.

This is a 3.6V one. The manual states 3.5V. Here it is:

Will this work just as well?

Many thanks!

I don't see that it would be a problem; the 12 volt battery in your car usually sits at about 12 1/2 volts for example. Ditto with most any other battery; their voltages are nearly always higher than their rating. If you meter a regular 1.5v AA battery, I think you'll find it will read about 1.6V.

Having said that, I can't guarantee the accuracy of my opinion, but it is what I would do.

The LS14250 is the standard replacement for that. Some specs call it 3.5 and some 3.6 volts. If your going to order, and you have other devices of the same age, might as well get em now.
