Ⅰ What is a 357 Battery?
Energizer 357/303 Batteries are button cell batteries that give dependable, long-lasting power to your essential gadgets. Whether you need batteries for your kitchen scale, calculator, or keyless entry system, you can rely on these button cell batteries to power them. These Energizer batteries also provide consistent power for medical devices such as glucose monitors and heart rate monitors. Each 357/303 battery can be stored for up to 5 years, allowing you to keep a ready supply of replacement batteries on hand. Furthermore, because these batteries do not contain mercury, they are a more environmentally friendly option. Energizer speciality batteries deliver long-lasting power when you need it the most.
A 357 silver oxide button cell battery has a voltage of 1.55 volts. The LR44 is the same size as the 357 silver oxide but it performs better and lasts longer. Because of the LR44's low mAh (capacity) and lower voltage, this 357/303 is not interchangeable. Only use 357 silver oxide for long life and consistent power production. For example, even though the LR44 is less expensive, it is preferable to use this battery in the MiniMed 507C insulin pump rather than the LR44.
A button cell watch battery, or coin battery is a compact single-cell battery that resembles a button and is fashioned as a squat cylinder 5 to 25 mm (0.197 to 0.984 in) in diameter and 1 to 6 mm (0.039 to 0.236 in) height. The bottom body and positive terminal of the cell are normally made of stainless steel, while the negative terminal is made of a metallic top cap that is isolated from it.
Button cells power small portable gadgets such as wrist watches and pocket calculators. Wider variations are commonly referred to as coin cells. Devices that employ button cells are typically built around cells that have a long service life, typically well over a year in continuous use in a wristwatch. Most button cells have low self-discharge and can hold a charge for an extended period of time if not used. Hearing aids, for example, may employ a zinc–air battery, which has a substantially higher cap acity for a given size but dries out after a few weeks even if not used.
Button cells are single cells that are typically used as disposable primary cells. Zinc or lithium are common anode materials. Manganese dioxide, silver oxide , carbon monofluoride, cupric oxide. and oxygen from the air are common cathode materials. Mercuric oxide button cells were once ubiquitous, but they are no longer available due to mercury's toxicity and environmental impacts.

Ⅶ Frequently Asked Questions About 357 Battery
1. What battery does a 357 Replace?
The SR44W battery
A 357 battery is equivalent to an SR44W battery. Because both variants (SR44W and SR44SW) have the same voltage and physical dimensions, using the high drain version instead of the ordinary version is totally safe.
2. What's the difference between a 357 and a 357 A battery?
The difference between a 357 and a 357A is the rate at which the voltage declines with use. 357s maintain a very stable voltage before dying rapidly. Throughout the battery's life, the 357A gradually loses voltage. Higher-demanding gadgets (calculators, for example) require 357s.
3. What do you use 357 batteries for?
These 357 1.5 volt batteries are used in timepieces, medical equipment, laser pointers, and other devices. A76 batteries are alkaline batteries, while size 357 batteries are silver oxide batteries.
4. Is an LR44 battery the same as a 357 303 battery?
This 357/303 is not automatically interchangeable with the LR44 because of the low mAh(capacity) of the LR44 and lower voltage will cause very poor performance for devices designed for the 357. For long life and steady power output use only the 357 silver oxide.
5. Can I use 357 instead of l1154f?
If you have a gadget that uses the unusual 355 battery, a battery adapter ring can be used to replace the L1154 / 357 battery. Just be sure you obtain a high-quality adapter ring to avoid short-circuiting anything.
6. Can I use 357 battery instead of LR44?
Although gadgets require a consistent voltage, the 357 battery and the LR44 battery are interchangeable for most purposes. Precision calipers and some clocks, for example, benefit from the 357's constant voltage performance.
7. What is the difference between alkaline and silver oxide batteries?
Silver oxide batteries have a flatter discharge curve when compared to alkaline batteries, and they have a longer run time when compared to lithium-ion batteries. In addition, unlike lithium-ion batteries silver oxide batteries are not flammable and do not experience thermal runaway.
8. Is an AG13 battery the same as a 357?
The Energizer 357 /303 button cell battery replaces all AG13 button cell batteries used in watches, medical equipment, laser pointers, and other devices.
9. Are 303 and 357 batteries the same?
SR44SW is denoted by 303, while SR44W/LR44 is denoted by 357. So this is an SR44W (aka 357) that can be utilized when an SR44SW (aka 303) is also available. However, if your device requires 303, purchasing 357 is a waste of money.
10. Is a LR44 the same as a 357?
The dimensions of LR44 and 357 are the same (5.4mm x 11.6mm). The 357 is silver oxide and has a 1.55v rating, but the LR44 is alkaline and has a 1.5v rating. The silver oxide battery lasts 30 percent to 100 percent longer and produces a more consistent voltage till the end, which is 1.2v vs. 1.0v for alkaline.
