Codes that mean the same battery

Different manufacturers, one physical battery. Voltage, chemistry and dimensions all match.

Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA Yes — same cell

Codes that look close but are not

Code Why it is not a substitute
10440 The AAA-shaped rechargeable lithium-ion cell at 3.7 V. Not a substitute.

The FR03 is a primary cell and must never be put in a charger. Charging a sealed primary battery builds gas pressure inside a can with no vent designed for it, which is how they rupture or catch fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist for several sizes and carry different codes — check the code, not the shape.

Where it turns up

  • Trail cameras and outdoor sensors
  • Headlamps used in cold weather
  • Medical devices needing long shelf life
  • GPS trackers
