Detailed overview: Duracell 76A alkaline button cell, equivalent to LR44
The LR44 is one of the most widely used alkaline button cells in the world, sold in the United States under Duracell's own reference, 76A. Small but everywhere, it turns up in a huge range of everyday objects: watches and clocks, calculators, toys and electronic games, laser pointers, medical thermometers, digital calipers, testers, night lights, bathroom scales and small remotes. If a compact gadget needs a round, flat 1.5V cell, there is a good chance it takes this one.
Technically, it is a 1.5-volt alkaline cell in a very compact button format, sold here in a pack of 4 in its original Duracell packaging, a brand known for reliable, long-shelf-life batteries.
The same physical cell hides under a confusing number of names depending on the maker, which is where most of the mix-ups happen. Duracell's US listing confirms this 76A battery is equivalent to LR44, A76, PX76A, V136A, AG13 and L1154 references. It should not, however, be confused with its silver oxide cousin, the 357/303 (also called SR44 or SR44W): the same physical size, but a different chemistry that holds a steadier voltage over time and suits demanding measuring instruments better, at a higher price. For the vast majority of everyday uses, this alkaline 76A remains the most economical and widely available choice.
Like all button cells, it must be kept well out of reach of young children, since swallowing one is dangerous. At end of life, recycle it through a battery collection program. Reliable and inexpensive, the Duracell 76A is the spare cell worth keeping in a drawer.
Our tester's review: Pierre Freysinger
The naming here trips people up more than the battery itself does: this is the exact same cell known as LR44 almost everywhere else, just sold under Duracell's US reference, 76A. Once you get past that, it is a dependable, unremarkable button cell that does its job in watches, kitchen scales, laser pointers and the odd toy without any drama. We have used a set in a digital caliper that sees weekly shop use, and voltage has stayed steady well past what a bargain-bin cell would have managed. The pack of 4 is a practical size, enough to refresh a couple of devices and keep a spare on hand rather than buying single cells every time one dies. One mix-up worth avoiding: this alkaline 76A is chemically different from the 357/303 silver oxide button cell that fits the same size holder. The silver oxide version holds a steadier voltage over its life and suits sensitive instruments better, but costs more; for everyday gadgets like watches and calculators, this Duracell alkaline is the more economical, perfectly adequate choice.
Frequently asked questions: Duracell 76A alkaline button cell, equivalent to LR44
Yes. 76A is simply Duracell's US reference for the same alkaline button cell known as LR44 elsewhere. It is also equivalent to the A76, PX76A, V136A and AG13 references depending on the manufacturer.
No, they are the same physical size but a different chemistry. The 357/303 is silver oxide, with a steadier voltage over its life and a higher price, while the 76A is alkaline, cheaper and perfectly adequate for everyday devices like watches and calculators.
No, it is a single-use alkaline battery. Replace it once discharged and recycle it through a battery collection program.
Watches, calculators, toys and electronic games, laser pointers, thermometers, digital calipers, night lights and small remotes, wherever a 1.5V button cell is required.
