SR916SW equivalents

Direct replacements

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

  • 373
  • SR68
  • SR916

Upgrade or downgrade

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

Cell Chemistry Voltage Verdict
LR916 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
SR45 9.5 × 3.6 mm Same 9.5 mm diameter, but 3.6 mm tall instead of 1.6 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR920SW 9.5 × 2 mm Same 9.5 mm diameter, but 2 mm tall instead of 1.6 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR927SW 9.5 × 2.7 mm Same 9.5 mm diameter, but 2.7 mm tall instead of 1.6 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
