Codes that look close but are not
| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
|---|---|
| SR41 / 392 | Silver oxide in the same can, 1.55 V held flat. The better choice in anything that measures. |
| LR44 | Far larger — 11.6 × 5.4 mm against 7.9 × 3.6. The names differ by one digit and the cells are not close. |
The LR41 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.

Common questions
- What is equivalent to a LR41?
- 192, AG3, LR736, L736, V3GA, GP192, G3A, SG3, RW87, 384A — all the same 1.5 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
- Can I use a SR41 / 392 instead of a LR41?
- Silver oxide in the same can, 1.55 V held flat. The better choice in anything that measures.
- Is the LR41 rechargeable?
- No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
