LiCB LR44 1.5V Button Cell Batteries (20 pack)

Cheap, useful LR44 spares for toys and gadgets, but not the pick for watches needing silver oxide.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Households with toys, calculators, laser pointers or kitchen scales that use LR44 cells
  • Anyone who wants a stock of spares instead of buying singles
Skip it if
  • Your device specifically calls for a silver oxide SR44 or 357 cell
  • You plan to store the spares somewhere hot, like a garage

What owners like

  • Cheaper per cell than single packs at a store
  • Work as expected in toys, calculators and small gadgets
  • Handy blister packaging for storing spares

Common complaints

  • Some reports of cells swelling or leaking after a few months in storage, especially in warm places
  • Some buyers find the life shorter than expected

What it does

A 20 pack of LR44 alkaline button cells from LiCB for watches, calculators, toys and other small electronics.

  • Replaces cells marked LR44, AG13, A76, L1154 and similar codes
  • Each cell sits in its own blister pocket
  • LiCB describes them as Grade A cells made under quality control testing
  • Also sold in 10 and 40 packs

A low cost way to keep spare LR44 cells on hand for toys, calculators, laser pointers and kitchen scales. The trade-off is that these are alkaline cells, so devices that call for silver oxide SR44 or 357 cells, such as many watches and precision instruments, get a less steady voltage, and some buyers report swollen or leaking cells after storage.

Questions

Is LR44 the same as SR44 or 357?

Same size, different chemistry. LR44 is alkaline at 1.5V. SR44 and 357 are silver oxide at about 1.55V with higher capacity and a flatter discharge curve. They fit the same devices, but use the type your device recommends.

Is LR44 the same as AG13 and A76?

Yes. AG13, A76 and L1154 are other names for the same alkaline cell.

How long do LiCB LR44 batteries last in storage?

LiCB states a 3 year shelf life.

Are these rechargeable?

No. They are single use alkaline cells.
