Do all watches have the same size battery?

All watch batteries are not the same. We have 2 basic types, 1.55 volt silver oxide batteries and 3.0 volt lithium batteries. A watch movement takes a specific size and type of battery and they cannot be interchanged. Most of the time we can only tell what battery your watch needs by taking off the back of the watch.

Can I use any watch battery?

So to summarise, if your application calls for a stable voltage under load (watches, clocks, metering equipment etc.) use a Silver Oxide watch battery. If not, and you can get the Alkaline equivalent then use that. And remember, you can always use a Silver Oxide watch battery to replace an Alkaline watch battery.

What kind of batteries do watches use?

What batteries do watches use?

Most batteries used in watches today are silver-oxide or lithium batteries, of which there are over 100 in use. The shelf life of a battery is the same as its useful life. Watches are so efficient that they use very little energy–compare this to getting 500 miles to the gallon in a car.

Are watch batteries 626 and 377 the same?

377 button battery replaces SR626W and SR626SW batteries. The Energizer 377/376 is a multi-drain 1.55 Volt silver oxide button cell battery. Primarily used as watch batteries, 377 376 replaces SR626W and SR626SW batteries.

Are 177 and 377 batteries the same?

– Silver-oxide SR626/SR626SW batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.55 volts and it is rather constant over time as the battery is drained….LR626 vs. SR626 Batteries Comparison Chart.

Can I replace my watch battery myself?

If you don’t want to change the watch battery by yourself, don’t worry. If the new battery dies before that date, you can bring it back to them and they will replace it at no cost. Replacing the battery can be difficult with some watches.

What is the difference between W and SW battery?

In the IEC ‘standard’ battery designation convention, the low drain or normal version of the watch battery will end with the letter ‘W’, while the high drain version would end in ‘SW’. A common watch battery is the SR44W (or the SR44SW for the high drain version).

How do I know if my watch has a battery?

Remove the back of the watch to look at the numbers on the battery directly. You may need a knife to wedge the back off, since the gap between the watch back and the rest of the body is usually very slender. A screwdriver will almost never be narrow enough to fit into the gap.

What type of battery do I need for my smartwatch?

The primary choices are silver oxide battery and alkaline watch batteries. Silver Oxide batteries are known for having a higher energy density and thus have the ability to generate more power for their size.
