LR626 vs SR626SW
ConditionalThe nominal voltage and size are close, but Alkaline and SilverOxide have different discharge behavior. Follow the device specification.
3 model(s) use the same nominal 6.8mm × 2.6mm outline. They span 1.5, 1.55V and Alkaline, SilverOxide, so physical fit alone does not prove that one can safely replace another. Compare the printed code, voltage, chemistry, and device requirements before buying.
The checks below compare each pair by size, voltage, and chemistry. “Closest match” still requires confirmation of drain rating and terminals; “conditional” means the device manual decides; a voltage mismatch means the pair must not be substituted.
The nominal voltage and size are close, but Alkaline and SilverOxide have different discharge behavior. Follow the device specification.
Size, nominal voltage, and chemistry match. Confirm drain rating, terminals, polarity, and the exact code before replacing.
The nominal voltage and size are close, but SilverOxide and Alkaline have different discharge behavior. Follow the device specification.
Battery dimensions are nominal and small manufacturing tolerances are normal. Dirt, a bent wrapper, raised terminals, or squeezing the jaws can shift a reading by a few tenths of a millimeter. Use the code on the old cell as the primary identifier and measurements as a check.
