Check before you swap. Batteries with similar dimensions are not always interchangeable with the LR44. Always verify voltage, chemistry and the requirements printed in your device manual before fitting a replacement.

LR44 questions

What batteries are equivalent to the LR44?

The LR44 is sold as AG13, A76, L1154, 157. All of these describe the same 11.6 × 5.4 mm alkaline cell at 1.5 V.

Can I use a SR44 instead of a LR44?

In many low-drain devices, yes — the sizes match. Check the voltage and chemistry against your device's requirement first, because a small voltage difference can matter in calibrated equipment.

How long does a LR44 last?

A LR44 holds a typical 110–130 mAh. Real runtime depends entirely on how much current your device draws and whether it is used continuously.

Is the LR44 rechargeable?

No. The LR44 is a single-use cell and should not be recharged.
