LR43 Equivalents Batteries Comparison
SR43, AG12, LR1142, 386, 301, and 186 are all LR43 battery counterparts. LR44 is the same size as silver oxide button cells as SR43W, SR43SW, 386, 301, 186, AG12, SG12, but has different chemistry. There is no mercury in this product.
The following is the LR43 Equivalents Batteries Comparison Chart.
| Chemistry | Alkaline | Silver-Oxide | Zinc Air | Mercury-Oxide |
| Nominal Voltage | 1.5V | 1.55V | 1.4V | 1.35V |
| End-Point Voltage | 1.0V | 1.2V | 1.2V | 1.1V |
| Notes | Voltage drops over time | Very constant voltage | Slightly lower voltage, large capacity; mostly used as hearing aid batteries | Slightly lower voltage contains mercury; not in use anymore |
| Typical Labels | LR43, AG12, LR1142, 386, 301, 186 | SR43W, SR43, SR43SW, 386, 301, 186, AG12, SG12, SR1142, SR1142SW | AC41E, PR43, 7001Z | MR43, MR1142 |

LR43 VS LR44

LR43 VS LR44
LR43 has the same voltage, diameter, and mA-hr as LR44, but it is 1.2mm thinner. If you can put the batteries into the battery compartment (same number, polarity, etc.) and make excellent contact, your gadget should operate. With LR43, the gadget will last less time than with LR44.

What battery can replace LR43?
LR43 battery equivalents are also referred to as SR43, AG12, LR1142, 386, 301, and 186. LR44 is identical in size, but different in chemistry to silver oxide button cells such as SR43W, SR43, SR43SW, 386, 301, 186, AG12, SG12.
Are LR43 and LR44 interchangeable?
No, LR44 is much thicker. LR43 has the same voltage, diameter, and mA-hr as LR44, but it is 1.2mm thinner. If you can put the batteries into the battery compartment (same number, polarity, etc.) and make excellent contact, your gadget should operate. With LR43, the gadget will last less time than with LR44.
What is the difference between LR43 and LR44 batteries?
LR43 is the same voltage, same diameter, lower mA-hr, and most of all, thinner by 1.2mm than LR44.
