LR626 equivalents

Direct replacements

The same cell under another code. Any of these fits, whatever the brand.

  • 177
  • AG4
  • LR66

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.

About the LR626 cell

Alkaline version of the same size; voltage sags as it drains.
