SR927SW Battery Equivalent

SR927SW is the same cell as SG7, 395, 399, SR927W and SR57, so any of those codes will fit; LR927 is the same size in alkaline and will work, though it runs out sooner.

Chemistry
silver oxide
Voltage
1.55 V
Size (Ø × H)
9.5 × 2.7 mm
Typical capacity

Upgrade or downgrade

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

Cell Chemistry Voltage Verdict
LR927 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 2.7 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
SR916SW 9.5 × 1.6 mm Same 9.5 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 2.7 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 2.7 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.

Low drain or high drain

SR927SW 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): 395
A steady trickle of current: a quartz watch with hands, a thermometer, a key fob.
High drain (W): 399
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.
