Codes that mean the same battery
| Code | Fits? |
|---|---|
| ZA13 | Yes — same cell |
| A13 | Yes — same cell |
| AC13 | Yes — same cell |
| DA13 | Yes — same cell |
| P13 | Yes — same cell |
| 13A | Yes — same cell |
| S13 | Yes — same cell |
| V13 | Yes — same cell |
| 7000ZD | Yes — same cell |
| PR48 | Yes — same cell |
Codes that look close but are not
| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
|---|---|
| Size 312 / PR41 | Same diameter, 1.8 mm shorter, brown tab. Fits loosely and lasts around half as long. |
| LR754 / SR754 | Identical 7.9 × 5.4 mm can, but sealed alkaline and silver oxide cells at 1.5 and 1.55 V. Fitting one in a hearing aid gives the wrong voltage; fitting a PR48 in a watch gives a cell that dies as soon as air reaches it. |
The PR48 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
- Behind-the-ear hearing aids
- In-the-ear full-shell instruments
- Power BTE aids for severe loss
- Some bone-conduction processors
Orange tab. Six to fourteen days typical.
Common questions
- What is equivalent to a PR48?
- ZA13, A13, AC13, DA13, P13, 13A, S13, V13, 7000ZD, PR48 — all the same 1.4 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
- Can I use a Size 312 / PR41 instead of a PR48?
- Same diameter, 1.8 mm shorter, brown tab. Fits loosely and lasts around half as long.
- Is the PR48 rechargeable?
- No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
