Energizer LR44 Alkaline Coin Batteries - 4 Pack

This is a pack of four LR44 alkaline coin cells from Energizer. The pack prints both of the names this cell answers to, LR44 and A76, which matters more than it sounds: the same battery is listed one way in an appliance manual and the other way on a shop shelf, and a device that asks for an A76 takes this cell. Each one is a 1.5V alkaline button cell, the flat silver disc that sits under the screw-down cover on the back of a small device.

Coin cells in this size do the quiet work around the house. They run digital kitchen scales, laser pointers, small calculators, car key fobs, digital thermometers, LED tea lights, watch-sized clocks and a great many children's toys and gadgets. Because four come in a pack, you can change a set at once rather than hunting for a single cell in a drawer, and many devices take two or three stacked in a column. Check the code printed on the face of the old cell before you order, since several button sizes look alike at a glance.

Alkaline is the everyday chemistry for this size. Its voltage begins at 1.5V and eases down gradually as the cell discharges, which is no trouble for toys, pointers and key fobs; where a device needs a very steady voltage right to the end, such as a precision watch movement, silver oxide is the usual alternative. Keep spares sealed in the blister until you need them, and fit a full set of fresh cells together rather than mixing old with new. Button cells are easily swallowed, so keep them out of reach of young children and pets. This listing is sold in a minimum of ten packs, in multiples of ten, and sits alongside the other Energizer cells we stock, from AA, AAA, C, D and 9V to lithium coin sizes such as CR2032 and CR1220.

Is an A76 the same battery as an LR44?

Yes. The retail pack is printed LR44/A76, so a device whose manual calls for either code takes the cells in this pack.

How many cells do I get, and what voltage are they?

Four cells to a pack, each one a 1.5V alkaline coin cell as printed on the pack. Devices needing two or three stacked take them from the same pack.

Which devices usually take this size?

Coin cells of this size are common in digital kitchen scales, laser pointers, calculators, key fobs, digital thermometers, small LED lights, clocks and children's toys.

Should I choose alkaline or silver oxide for my device?

These are alkaline. Where a manual specifically asks for silver oxide, follow the manual, as silver oxide holds a flatter voltage right to the end of its life.

Does the manufacturer state a shelf life for these cells?

No shelf life figure is printed on this pack, so we do not quote one. Stored sealed and at normal room temperature, alkaline cells keep well.
