Codes that mean the same battery

Different manufacturers, one physical battery. Voltage, chemistry and dimensions all match.
Code Fits?
362 Yes — same cell
361 Yes — same cell
SR58 Yes — same cell
SR721 Yes — same cell
SR721W Yes — same cell
AG11 Yes — same cell
D362 Yes — same cell
V362 Yes — same cell
1158SO Yes — same cell
GP362 Yes — same cell
SB-BS Yes — same cell

Codes that look close but are not

Code Why it is not a substitute
LR721 / LR58 / 162 Alkaline at 1.5 V with about half the capacity and a drooping voltage.
SR726SW / 397 Same 7.9 mm diameter, 2.6 mm tall. Too tall for a 362 compartment.

The SR721SW 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 SR721SW?
362, 361, SR58, SR721, SR721W, AG11, D362, V362, 1158SO, GP362, SB-BS — all the same 1.55 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
Can I use a LR721 / LR58 / 162 instead of a SR721SW?
Alkaline at 1.5 V with about half the capacity and a drooping voltage.
Is the SR721SW rechargeable?
No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
