SR754SW Battery Equivalent

SR754SW is the same cell as SG5, 309, 393 and SR48, so any of those codes will fit; LR48 is the same size in alkaline and will work, though it runs out sooner.

SR754SW equivalents

Direct replacements

The same cell under another code. Any of these fits, whatever the brand.

Upgrade or downgrade

Same size, different chemistry. Read the verdict before you buy.

Cell Chemistry Voltage Verdict
LR48 alkaline 1.5 V Downgrade Works, but runs out sooner. Avoid in watches and medical devices.

Similar size, check the fit

Same diameter, different thickness. These are not drop-in replacements.

Cell Size Verdict
SR41 7.9 × 3.6 mm Same 7.9 mm diameter, but 3.6 mm tall instead of 5.4 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR712SW 7.9 × 1.2 mm Same 7.9 mm diameter, but 1.2 mm tall instead of 5.4 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR714SW 7.9 × 1.4 mm Same 7.9 mm diameter, but 1.4 mm tall instead of 5.4 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR716SW 7.9 × 1.65 mm Same 7.9 mm diameter, but 1.65 mm tall instead of 5.4 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR721SW 7.9 × 2.1 mm Same 7.9 mm diameter, but 2.1 mm tall instead of 5.4 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR726SW 7.9 × 2.6 mm Same 7.9 mm diameter, but 2.6 mm tall instead of 5.4 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR731SW 7.9 × 3.1 mm Same 7.9 mm diameter, but 3.1 mm tall instead of 5.4 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.

Do not use

These are the same size or a similar code, and they are not equivalents.

    Zinc-air hearing-aid cell: same size, but 1.45 V, needs air holes and drains once unsealed.

Low drain or high drain

SR754SW is sold under two numbers for the same case size. Manufacturers mark low-drain cells SW and high-drain cells W, which records what the cell is built to deliver rather than how big it is.

Low drain (SW): 309
A steady trickle of current: a quartz watch with hands, a thermometer, a key fob.
High drain (W): 393
Short bursts of heavier current: a watch with a backlight, an alarm or a chronograph.

Both are 1.55 V and both fit the same holder, so either will run the device. The matched one lasts longer.
