PR48 / size 13

PR48 / size 13 is an air-activated zinc-air family. Colour tabs are a shopping aid, not proof of compatibility.

Answer

PR48, 13, PR13, AC13 are the supported exact aliases for one 7.9 × 5.4 mm zinc-air button cell. No other family is treated as an automatic replacement.

Top profile · Ø 7.9 mm

Side profile · 5.4 mm high

Original proportional profiles. Scale is consistent within this diagram; screen size is not a physical ruler.

Format: Zinc-air button cell
Dimensions: 7.9 × 5.4 mm
Voltage: 1.4 V nominal
Chemistry: Zinc-air
Drain context: Air-activated; performance depends on activation and use
Rechargeable?: No — primary cell; do not recharge.
Capacity context: Product- and test-specific; consult a current manufacturer datasheet.
Confidence: High

Equivalence and confusion matrix

Code or familyClassificationReason

PR48 · 13 · PR13 · AC13Exact equivalentThese evidence-backed markings resolve to this one canonical record and share its cited physical and electrical specification.

SR48W / 393Same size, different electrical familyThe 7.9 × 5.4 mm envelope matches, but the electrical families do not: Zinc-air at 1.4 V nominal versus Silver oxide / zinc at 1.55 V nominal. Physical fit is not equivalence.

LR41 / AG3Not equivalentThe physical envelopes differ (7.9 × 5.4 mm versus 7.9 × 3.6 mm). Do not force, stack or infer equivalence from a shared diameter or code pattern.

SR41SW / 384Not equivalentThe physical envelopes differ (7.9 × 5.4 mm versus 7.9 × 3.6 mm). Do not force, stack or infer equivalence from a shared diameter or code pattern.

SR41W / 392Not equivalentThe physical envelopes differ (7.9 × 5.4 mm versus 7.9 × 3.6 mm). Do not force, stack or infer equivalence from a shared diameter or code pattern.

Supported application context

Hearing aids specifying this size

Application context is limited to the scope stated in Energizer size 13 Product Datasheet; it is not a device compatibility claim.

This is an air-activated hearing-aid size. Confirm the numeric or PR marking before removing the tab; tab colour alone is not a technical identifier.

PR48/size 13 measures 7.9 × 5.4 mm. It shares a diameter with PR41/312 but is 1.8 mm taller, so colour or diameter alone cannot identify the cell.

Commonly confused

SR48W / 393 — compare all four decision fields.
LR41 / AG3 — compare all four decision fields.
SR41SW / 384 — compare all four decision fields.
SR41W / 392 — compare all four decision fields.

What the code means

PR48 is the IEC-style zinc-air identity; the numbered size and AC/PR forms are evidence-backed names for the same physical family.

Discharge and drain behaviour

Removing the tab admits air and starts activation. Delay after activation, airflow, temperature and use pattern can materially change service life.

Capacity context: Product- and test-specific; consult a current manufacturer datasheet.

Substitution guidance

Use the exact supported size specified by the hearing device. Colour tabs help identify a size but are not, by themselves, proof of equivalence.
