SR41 battery

What replaces a SR41
392, 384, SR736, SR41W, SR41SW, D392
1.55 V silver oxide, 7.9 × 3.6 mm (diameter × height)

The SR41 is a single-use 1.55 V silver oxide button cell. The codes below are the same physical cell sold under different manufacturer names, and any of them will fit.

Codes that mean the same battery

Different manufacturers, one physical battery. Voltage, chemistry and dimensions all match.
Code Fits?
392 Yes — same cell
384 Yes — same cell
SR736 Yes — same cell
SR41W Yes — same cell
SR41SW Yes — same cell
D392 Yes — same cell
V392 Yes — same cell
1135SO Yes — same cell
SB-B1 Yes — same cell

Codes that look close but are not

Code Why it is not a substitute
LR41 / 192 / AG3 Alkaline in the same 7.9 × 3.6 mm can, 1.5 V and 45 mAh with a sloping curve. It works in a toy or a penlight; it does not hold a stable voltage for a meter.
SR754 / 393 Same diameter, 5.4 mm tall. Nearly twice the height.

The SR41 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

  • Digital thermometers
  • Small quartz watch movements
  • Otoscopes and penlights
  • Electronic pill timers

Common questions

What is equivalent to a SR41?
392, 384, SR736, SR41W, SR41SW, D392, V392, 1135SO, SB-B1 — all the same 1.55 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
Can I use a LR41 / 192 / AG3 instead of a SR41?
Alkaline in the same 7.9 × 3.6 mm can, 1.5 V and 45 mAh with a sloping curve. It works in a toy or a penlight; it does not hold a stable voltage for a meter.
Is the SR41 rechargeable?
No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
