The battery size of an LR44 battery is 11.6 mm in diameter and 5.4 mm in height. They are available in both silver oxide and alkaline chemistries. A silver-oxide battery has a slightly higher voltage than an alkaline battery, a higher cut off voltage, and a larger capacity (150-200 mAh vs 110-130 mAh).

Battery Voltage

LR44 batteries, also known as coin cell batteries or button cells, are dry alkaline batteries that produce power by a chemical reaction of zinc and manganese oxide. They are a popular choice for battery powered devices because of their low self-discharge, long shelf life, and high performance.

These batteries are commonly used for hearing aids, wristwatches, key fobs, digital calipers and test instruments, and small flashlights. They also power digital calculators and many other types of devices.

The voltage of a LR44 battery can vary, depending on the manufacturer and type of the device being powered by the battery. Generally, silver-oxide SR44 batteries have a slightly higher nominal voltage than alkaline LR44 batteries (often labeled as 1.55 vs. 1.5 volts) and a lower cut-off voltage (usually 1.2 vs. 1.3 volts), but this may vary from battery to battery.

Zinc-air PR44 batteries, sometimes known as Blue Tab, PR44, or 675 batteries, have a slightly lower beginning voltage than LR44 batteries and a relatively steady output voltage during discharge. They are typically used for hearing aid systems, and they are a good choice for many other devices that require a more consistent output voltage than LR44 batteries offer.

They can also be found in some low-drain models with a nominal capacity of up to 200 mAh, although this depends on the model and currents discharged from it. Often, these batteries are available in a handy battery holder that features a switch to indicate the voltage and capacity of the batteries.

If the LR44 or SR44 batteries are swallowed, they can cause serious harm and even death to the human body. This is because body liquids close the circuit between the anode and cathode of these batteries, causing electrolysis and damage to surrounding tissue. This is why it is important to avoid putting buttons and similar devices in your child’s or pet’s mouth. If this happens, call the emergency services immediately and follow their instructions to dispose of the batteries safely. These batteries are also dangerous if they get into the environment because they can pollute the air and water with mercury, cadmium, or other heavy metals.

This type of battery provides excellent storage capacity, high performance and reliability.

These batteries are durable and can work for years before they need to be replaced. They are also able to operate in extreme temperatures, making them a great choice for use in both home and travel situations.

This battery is an alkaline battery that uses manganese dioxide and zinc to create a reaction. This means that it is an economical alternative to silver oxide batteries, while offering long usage and high capacity.

It has a nominal voltage of 1.5 volts, and is available in a variety of sizes. This battery is a good option for replacing your batteries in watches, clocks, digital devices, and other electronic accessories.

You can expect to get about 6-8 years out of a LR44 battery before it needs to be replaced. However, this depends on the model of battery you’re using and how often you use it.

Another important factor to consider when selecting a battery is whether it can be recharged or not. Rechargeable batteries are more costly than disposable ones, but they can be charged through a USB outlet and have a longer lifespan.

Some rechargeable batteries can be refilled through a regular socket, but you may need to purchase special tools to do this. You can find these tools at your local hardware store or online retailer.

If you’re looking for a battery that has a longer shelf life, then you might want to consider purchasing a lithium ion battery. This type of battery is much more durable than a nickel-cadmium battery, and can last for up to ten years.

You can find a wide range of batteries at your local hardware store or online retailer. Some of these batteries are designed to be rechargeable, but you should check the instructions for your device. This can help ensure that you’re getting the best possible results.

Safety

Button batteries are small, coin-shaped battery cells that are found in a wide variety of products such as toys, remote controls, flameless candles, holiday decorations, hearing aids, and even medical devices. They’re particularly dangerous for toddlers and kids, who are highly likely to swallow them or put them in their mouths, noses, or ears, causing serious burns.

Button battery ingestion is a very common emergency, and it can cause severe localised burns that may be accompanied by a range of other symptoms, such as vomiting, fever, loss of appetite and difficulty breathing. In some cases, children have been left with long-term damage that can be fatal.

CHOICE has campaigned for years against the dangers of button batteries and helped introduce mandatory safety standards for manufacturers, suppliers and retailers in Australia to help reduce these risks. The new standards went into effect in June 2022, and businesses that supply products powered by these batteries or containing them must comply with the regulations or face penalties.

If you are unsure whether a product has compliant button batteries, look for the internationally recognised safety alert symbol (as pictured above) on the packaging and ensure that the battery compartments are secure, either with a captive screw or similar fastener. The Dreambaby Room & Bath Thermometer F321 (yellow duck shape) had a non-captive screw on the battery compartment cover, which meant it wasn’t compliant with the mandatory standard and should not have been in stores at the time of purchase.

Consumers can report unsafe products through the Product Safety Australia website. The website also provides information on the mandatory standards and what they mean for consumers.

To prevent kids from swallowing or inserting button batteries, choose products that use larger battery types such as AAA or AA batteries that are less likely to be swallowed. Keep all battery-powered products where kids cannot reach them, and make sure that any batteries used to power these products are properly recycled or thrown out.
