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.
