The LR44 (A76) Alkaline Battery

LR44 (A76) - Shown on tear strip blister pack,  Maxell and GP.

The popular LR44 Alkaline Button Cell is the battery of choice for several small appliances, such as watches, mini flashlights, laser pointers and alarm clocks.

It has the same size and 1.5 volt output as the SR44 Silver Oxide Button Cell and lasts about half as long, but it costs about a tenth of the price.

It is known also as the 1066A Battery (ANSI), AG13, and A76. For a more comprehensive equivalence reference please check our chart, or read the Wikipedia© article on this battery.

At Batteries and Butter you can buy it for as low as 8¢ in bulk orders of five thousand or more (see the GP A76). Another favorite brand name for this model is the Maxell 313 (LR44), just a penny above.
