Upgrade or downgrade
Same size, different chemistry. Read the verdict before you buy.
| Cell | Chemistry | Voltage | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| SR626SW | silver oxide | 1.55 V | Upgrade Upgrade: steadier voltage, longer life. |
Similar size, check the fit
Same diameter, different thickness. These are not drop-in replacements.
| Cell | Size | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| LR621 | 6.8 × 2.1 mm | Same 6.8 mm diameter, but 2.1 mm tall instead of 2.6 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
