The Liftmaster 10A14 12v Battery 60 & 80 Series Remotes is a vital Replacement Component engineered to provide consistent, long-lasting power to legacy remote transmitters. As a genuine OEM Gate Part, this premium 12-volt alkaline battery ensures your residential or commercial Access Control system maintains its maximum radio frequency range and operational reliability.
Designed specifically to power LiftMaster's older generation 60 and 80 series remote controls, the 10A14 battery (also recognized by its updated part number K010A0014) delivers the robust electrical output required by classic dip-switch and Billion Code technologies. Whether you are a professional technician completing a system overhaul or an end-user restoring functionality to a trusted visor clip remote, utilizing this factory-spec battery prevents the signal degradation often experienced with generic aftermarket alternatives.
Key Features & Benefits
• High-Capacity Alkaline Chemistry: Delivers consistent 12-volt output over a prolonged lifespan, ensuring maximum signal range and preventing the need for frequent battery replacements.
• Precision OEM Form Factor: Manufactured to exact standard A23 physical dimensions, guaranteeing a perfectly tight fit within the remote's battery tray so that power is never interrupted by drops or vehicle vibration.
• Extended Shelf Life: Formulated for long-term chemical stability, allowing facilities managers and professional installers to confidently stock multiple units for future service calls without fear of voltage loss.
• Leak-Resistant Casing: Features a reinforced outer shell designed to protect the remote's sensitive internal circuit board and metal contacts from corrosive acid leaks, preserving the life of the transmitter.
• Optimized for Legacy RF: Specifically engineered to provide the required energy density for older, high-draw Billion Code and dip-switch transmitters, ensuring immediate door activation without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I know when it is time to replace the 10A14 battery in my remote?
A1: The most common indicators of a failing 12V battery are a significantly reduced operational range, the necessity to press the button multiple times to activate the opener, or a red LED test light that appears very dim or fails to illuminate entirely during a button press.
Q2: Which direction should the battery face when I install it?
A2: Polarity is critical for proper electrical function. The positive (+) end of the battery must make contact with the positive terminal inside the remote housing. Most LiftMaster 60 and 80 series remotes have a plus sign stamped directly into the plastic battery tray to guide correct installation.
Q3: Can I use this battery in my modern LiftMaster 893MAX remote?
A3: No. Modern LiftMaster remotes like the 893MAX require a 3V CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. The 10A14 is a cylindrical 12V battery specifically designed for older generation, larger-profile remotes. Forcing this battery into an incompatible remote will cause permanent damage to the logic board.
Q4: Will a generic A23 battery from the grocery store work instead of the 10A14?
A4: While a standard A23 battery shares the same physical dimensions and voltage, utilizing the OEM 10A14 battery is strongly recommended to ensure the correct internal resistance and burn rate, which are optimized specifically for Chamberlain Group logic circuits.
Q5: Is there a risk of losing my remote's programming when I change the battery?
A5: No. The 60 series remotes use physical internal dip-switches to hold their code, while the 80 series (Billion Code) remotes have their unique identifier permanently burned into an internal microchip. Removing the dead battery will not erase the remote's memory or require you to resync it to the motor head.
