Description
The Energizer 384/392 is a silver oxide button cell battery delivering 1.55V output for watches, calculators, key fobs, hearing aids and small medical instruments. Each cell measures 7.9mm diameter by 3.6mm height and uses silver oxide chemistry to maintain consistent voltage throughout the discharge cycle, unlike alkaline equivalents that show gradual voltage drop.
Supplied in a 10-pack, the batteries suit bulk replacement in multi-device households or businesses maintaining stock for watch repairs, hearing aid clinics and calculator fleets. The 384 and 392 designations refer to different industry naming conventions for the same cell size (IEC SR41, Duracell D384/392), so this battery replaces both reference numbers interchangeably.
Silver oxide chemistry gives these cells a flatter discharge curve than alkaline button cells, meaning voltage-sensitive devices like analogue watches maintain accurate timekeeping longer before replacement is needed. The cells carry a leak-resistant seal and retain charge during storage, with typical shelf life of 3-5 years when stored at room temperature away from heat sources.
Each cell weighs approximately 0.01kg and the compact 5mm height fits standard button cell compartments in watches, calculators and remote controls without modification. The packaging carries clear polarity markings and the cells are embossed with voltage and chemistry information on the positive face.

Frequently Asked
What devices use 384/392 batteries?
Watches, calculators, key fobs, hearing aids, small medical instruments, laser pointers and some fitness trackers. The 384 and 392 are the same physical cell with different industry reference codes, so this battery replaces both.
What's the difference between silver oxide and alkaline button cells?
Silver oxide cells maintain more consistent voltage as they discharge, which matters for analogue watches and precision instruments. Alkaline button cells show gradual voltage drop and may cause watches to run slow before the battery is fully depleted.
How long do these batteries last?
Runtime depends on the device. In a typical analogue watch drawing 5-10 microamps, expect 1-2 years of continuous use. In higher-draw devices like calculators or hearing aids, runtime is shorter. Shelf life when stored unused is 3-5 years.
Can I use these in place of LR41 alkaline cells?
Physically yes, the dimensions are compatible. However, silver oxide cells provide 1.55V versus 1.5V for alkaline LR41, and the chemistry difference means silver oxide holds voltage more steadily. Most devices designed for LR41 will accept 384/392 and benefit from the more stable output.
