# LR44 battery

**What replaces a LR44: A76, AG13, LR1154, 357A, L1154, V13GA**

1.5 V alkaline, 11.6 × 5.4 mm (diameter × height)

The LR44 is a single-use 1.5 V alkaline button cell. The codes below are the same physical cell sold under different manufacturer names, and any of them will fit.

## Specification

- **IEC designation:** LR44
- **ANSI / NEDA:** 1166A
- **Nominal voltage:** 1.5 V
- **Chemistry:** Alkaline
- **Size:** 11.6 × 5.4 mm (diameter × height)
- **Typical capacity:** 150 mAh
- **Rechargeable:** No — never charge it

## Codes that mean the same battery

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

| Code | Fits? |
| --- | --- |
| A76 | Yes — same cell |
| AG13 | Yes — same cell |
| LR1154 | Yes — same cell |
| 357A | Yes — same cell |
| L1154 | Yes — same cell |
| V13GA | Yes — same cell |
| GP76A | Yes — same cell |
| G13A | Yes — same cell |
| PX76A | Yes — same cell |
| 1166A | Yes — same cell |
| CX44 | Yes — same cell |
| L1154F | Yes — same cell |

## Codes that look close but are not

| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
| --- | --- |
| SR44 / 357 | The silver oxide cell in the same can. It holds 1.55 V nearly flat where this one starts at 1.5 V and falls away, and it carries more usable charge. Where the device measures something — calipers, meters, balances, camera exposure — fit the SR44 and accept the price. Where it just needs power, the LR44 is fine. |
| LR1130 / 189 | Same 11.6 mm diameter, only 3.0 mm tall. Devices that take two or three stacked cells are often fitted with the wrong one; count the height, not the diameter. |

> The LR44 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

- Laser pointers and small LED torches
- Bathroom scales and kitchen timers
- Toys, singing cards and novelty lights
- Digital thermometers

> The 1.5 V alkaline cell that fits every 357/SR44 socket, which is why the two are confused more than any other pair on this site. It also bulges slightly as it discharges — by design, and within the published maximum height.

## Common questions

### What is equivalent to a LR44?

A76, AG13, LR1154, 357A, L1154, V13GA, GP76A, G13A, PX76A, 1166A, CX44, L1154F — all the same 1.5 V cell under different manufacturer codes.

### Can I use a SR44 / 357 instead of a LR44?

The silver oxide cell in the same can. It holds 1.55 V nearly flat where this one starts at 1.5 V and falls away, and it carries more usable charge. Where the device measures something — calipers, meters, balances, camera exposure — fit the SR44 and accept the price. Where it just needs power, the LR44 is fine.

### Is the LR44 rechargeable?

No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
