What Battery For
Your answer

LR44 battery equivalent

LR44, A76 and 76A are the alkaline 11.6 x 5.4 mm button cell, at 1.5 V. 357, 303 and SR44 are the same size in silver oxide, at 1.55 V.

Printed on the flat side of a coin or button cell, or on the label of a larger battery.

What that code is

Type the code printed on the battery, such as LR44, 357, AG13.

Which one to fit

If your device’s manual names 357, 303 or SR44, fit a silver oxide cell. Where it names LR44, A76 or 76A, an alkaline cell is the one it names.

Four button cells seen edge on, to scale: 11.6 by 5.4 mm, 11.6 by 3.05 mm, 7.9 by 3.6 mm and 6.8 by 2.6 mm.
Ringed: the 11.6 x 5.4 mm cell. LR44 and 357 are this same size, so the code on the flat side tells alkaline from silver oxide.

If a battery is swallowed

If anyone may have swallowed a coin or button battery, don’t delay: call the 24-hour National Battery Ingestion Hotline at 1-800-498-8666 or your poison center at 1-800-222-1222. Keep spare and used cells where children can’t reach them.

Common questions

Is LR44 the same as 357?

Same size, not the same chemistry, by Energizer's datasheets: its LR44 (A76) is alkaline at 1.5 V and its 357 is silver oxide at 1.55 V, both 11.6 x 5.4 mm.

Is AG13 alkaline or silver oxide?

Energizer's and GP's lists don't say: both put AG13 among the codes their alkaline A76 replaces, without naming its chemistry. Ansmann uses AG13 in the name of its alkaline LR44, so check the pack for the word alkaline or silver oxide.

Is SR44SW the same as SR44W?

SR44SW and SR44W are the same size in Renata's cross reference, which gives SR44W for its 357 and SR44SW for its 303, both 11.6 x 5.4 mm and 1.55 V.

Is a 303 the same as a 357?

Same size and volts, by Renata's and Energizer's pages: both are 11.6 x 5.4 mm silver oxide cells at 1.55 V, and Duracell sells one cell as D303/357, in Renata's list.

Where we get our information from

Codes, volts, sizes and capacities come from Energizer’s A76, 357 and 303 datasheets and product pages, Duracell’s 76A / LR44 sheet, Renata’s 357 and 303 pages and GP’s A76 page, with Ansmann’s LR44 sheet for its codes; the swallowing line from the National Capital Poison Center. Checked against published data from Energizer, National Capital Poison Center, Renata, GP Batteries and Duracell (plus 1 more).
