Alkaline vs Silver Oxide

LR44 (alkaline) and SR44 (silver oxide) both indicate R44 which means it is a round battery with 11.4 mm diameter and a 5.2mm height.  The batteries are interchangeable so which one should you use?Alkaline:

  • Cheap

Silver Oxide:

  • Expensive
  • Longer life
  • Stable Voltage

Generally silver oxide batteries will provide you with a longer lasting life.  But due to the use of silver, the price of the battery is much higher compared with alkaline versions.  However, for the money spent on silver oxide batteries, you can usually get many alkaline cells so the total life is longer if you don’t mind swapping batteries.

Disposal

Many button cell batteries contain a small amount of mercury in them to prevent gases from building up inside the battery.  Due to this, the batteries should be recycled with your local recycling center for hazardous material.  Some jewelers collect used silver oxide batteries for the silver and will gladly take them.


355 Battery

If you have a device that uses the uncommon 355 battery, the L1154 / 357 battery can be substituted with a battery adapter ring.  This adapter is a ring that fits around the battery to convert it to the correct size.
