SR44W / 357

The SR44W / 357 silver-oxide family is 11.6 × 5.4 mm. Preserve the W/SW drain designation unless current device or manufacturer guidance permits otherwise.

Answer

SR44W, 357, V357 are the supported exact aliases for one 11.6 × 5.4 mm silver-oxide watch cell. No other family is treated as an automatic replacement.

Equivalence and confusion matrix

Code or familyClassificationReason
SR44W · 357 · V357Exact equivalentThese evidence-backed markings resolve to this one canonical record and share its cited physical and electrical specification.
LR44 / A76 / AG13Same size, different electrical familyThe 11.6 × 5.4 mm envelope matches, but the electrical families do not: Silver oxide / zinc at 1.55 V nominal versus Alkaline manganese dioxide / zinc at 1.5 V nominal. Physical fit is not equivalence.
SR44SW / 303Conditional substituteBoth are 11.6 × 5.4 mm silver oxide / zinc cells at 1.55 V nominal, but their drain designations differ (W: higher-drain profile versus SW: low-drain profile). Preserve the device-specified class.
PR44 / size 675Same size, different electrical familyThe 11.6 × 5.4 mm envelope matches, but the electrical families do not: Silver oxide / zinc at 1.55 V nominal versus Zinc-air at 1.4 V nominal. Physical fit is not equivalence.
LR43 / AG12Not equivalentThe physical envelopes differ (11.6 × 5.4 mm versus 11.6 × 4.2 mm). Do not force, stack or infer equivalence from a shared diameter or code pattern.

Supported application context

  • Watches specifying this exact code and drain class

Application context is limited to the scope stated in Murata Watch Battery Selection Guide; it is not a device compatibility claim.

This record belongs to the watch-cell system. Maker numbers are useful aliases, while the W higher-drain designation remains part of device selection.

SR44W/357 is the higher-drain silver-oxide member of the 11.6 × 5.4 mm cluster. SR44SW/303 is physically identical but low-drain; LR44 and PR44 fail chemistry and nominal-voltage checks.

What the code means

SR44W identifies a silver-oxide watch cell. The W or SW suffix is part of the supported identity and records the manufacturer drain class.

Discharge and drain behaviour

Silver-oxide cells are selected for a comparatively stable working voltage. W: higher-drain profile remains material in watch applications, so a shared diameter and height do not erase the W/SW distinction.

Capacity context: Manufacturer- and test-condition-specific; no universal capacity is asserted from the selection guide.

Substitution guidance

Treat only the aliases on this page as exact equivalents. Another cell with the same dimensions is conditional at best unless its chemistry, nominal voltage and higher-drain requirement also agree with the device specification.
