The 317 battery is a silver-zinc type battery, therefore, it has a long service life and a minimum level of self-discharge.
Battery Application
Thanks to its compact size, the 317 battery can be used effectively in small-sized devices. The following devices can provide electric current to a battery of this type:
- Clock.
- Calculators.
- Kids toys.
- Medical Devices.
- Souvenir products.
The product can be installed in other low-current devices, for the operation of which a voltage of 1.5-1.55 Volts is sufficient.
Analogs of the battery 317
You can replace the main battery with analogues. Such elements will be completely suitable in form and voltage, but, depending on the production technology used, will differ significantly in capacity.
The capacity only affects the duration of the device, therefore, analogues of the battery 317 can be successfully used for installation in devices that use the original battery.
This product category includes:
- 616;
- S52;
- V317;
- SR62;
- SP317;
- SB-AR;
- RW326;
- SR516SW.
All of these products can be used for installation in electronic devices in which a 317 battery is used as a source of electricity. In addition, the original battery can be installed in devices that use the above analogues.
Can I charge the 317 battery
Battery 317 is not a rechargeable battery. If a direct current is supplied to its contacts, then the product can become very hot and explode. Broken debris and electrolyte can cause serious injuries, and if the battery ignites during depressurization, the fire can spread to other easily ignitable objects.
The 317 battery is not too expensive, so even if the device consumes a large amount of energy, it is much safer to purchase a package of such products and change them on time than to conduct dangerous experiments.
Popular manufacturers and their features
The original product is produced by only a few manufacturers:
- Renata.
- Eveready.
- Energizer
There are much more companies producing analogues:
- GP;
- IEC
- Varta;
- Sanyo;
- Maxell
- Citizen
- Duracell
- Panasonic
The quality of analogues from these manufacturers is not inferior to the original products, and in terms of power and duration, it often surpasses them.
What to look for when purchasing
Upon purchase, you should carefully inspect the markings that are indicated on the battery case. The type of element should be determined first. The designation of the battery number is usually applied to the positive terminal of the product.
Then you should precisely set the size of the battery. This information must be on the packaging. The expiration date designation on miniature electric power sources is usually not applied to the battery, but information on the date of manufacture can be obtained from the numbers indicated on the package.
