Description
The Energizer LR44/A76 is a 1.5V alkaline button cell battery supplied in a blister pack of two cells. Each cell measures 11.6mm diameter by 5.4mm height and uses alkaline chemistry to deliver stable voltage to low-drain devices like watches, calculators, laser pointers, hearing aids and digital thermometers. The LR44 designation is IEC standard; A76 is the same battery under ANSI naming.
Designed for devices requiring consistent low-current draw over months or years, the LR44/A76 suits applications where the battery is fitted and left in place rather than frequently cycled. Common uses include wristwatches, fitness trackers, small LED torches, remote car key fobs, digital kitchen scales, glucose monitors, and electronic toys. The 1.5V output remains stable across the majority of the discharge curve, preventing the voltage sag that can cause clock drift or function errors in precision devices.
Energizer builds these cells with leak-resistant construction to reduce the risk of electrolyte escaping onto device contacts during long storage periods. The alkaline chemistry contains no added mercury or cadmium, meeting current environmental standards for consumer battery disposal in the UK. Each cell weighs approximately 2g and the blister pack protects the cells from short-circuit during storage and transport.

Frequently Asked
Are LR44 and A76 the same battery?
Yes. LR44 is the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) designation and A76 is the ANSI (American National Standards Institute) name for the same 1.5V alkaline button cell. Other equivalent names include AG13, G13, L1154 and 357. All refer to an 11.6mm diameter, 5.4mm height alkaline cell.
What devices use LR44/A76 batteries?
Wristwatches, calculators, laser pointers, digital thermometers, glucose monitors, car key fobs, hearing aids, small LED torches, fitness trackers, electronic toys, digital kitchen scales and remote controls for garage doors or security systems. Any low-drain device requiring a compact 1.5V cell is a candidate.
How long do LR44 batteries last?
Service life depends on the device's current draw. In a wristwatch drawing 5-10 microamps, an LR44 can last 1-2 years. In a continuously-lit LED keychain torch drawing 10-20 milliamps, the same cell may last only a few hours of continuous use. Check the device manual for expected battery life.
Can these batteries be recharged?
No. Alkaline button cells are single-use and attempting to recharge them can cause leakage, overheating or rupture. Devices requiring rechargeable button cells need lithium-ion or silver-oxide rechargeable equivalents, which are a different chemistry and form factor.
