Battery Specifications 357
The main parameters of the 357 battery that you need to know before purchasing a new product are:
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Basic designation | 357 |
| View | Silver zinc |
| The form | Tablet (Coin) |
| Capacity | 120-200 mA / h |
| Voltage | 1.55 V |
| Analog 357 | Read more HERE |
| Diameter | 11.6 mm |
| Height | 5,4 mm |
| Working temperature | from 0 to + 63˚C |
| Weight | 1.9 g |
| Shelf life | up to 4 years |
Given the fact that the product has a cylindrical shape, only its diameter and height are indicated in the description. The first value is of great importance, because, if necessary, you can choose a similar product for voltage and width.
Such an element may vary slightly in height and if you slightly bend the positive contact of the electronic device, you can easily install the battery in its regular place. Such actions carry a certain risk, therefore, in the absence of the original product, it is better to purchase and install its full analogue.
Battery Applications
The 357 battery is not found in miniature electronic devices as often as other elements of a similar shape. Basically, this type of battery is used in:
- Hours.
- Keychain.
- Calculators.
The scope of the battery can be significantly expanded due to the manufacture of various "crafts". Having basic knowledge in circuitry, you can easily assemble any electronic portable device with your own hands.
Analogs of the battery 357
There are not so many elements that fully correspond to the 357 battery in size, power and voltage. The main products of this type are:
If necessary, you can, without any restrictions, use these elements instead of the original battery.
Can I charge the 357 battery
Batteries do not have the ability, like in batteries, to reverse the chemical reaction, so any attempt to charge element 357 will not bring the desired result.
Moreover, applying voltage to the element contacts can lead to a strong heating of the product. An increased temperature will lead to the formation of excessive pressure inside the housing, which, at certain values, will cause explosive depressurization.
Charging batteries of any type is not only useless, but also dangerous, because an exploded cell can cause a fire or chemical burn.
Popular manufacturers and their features
The 357 battery is manufactured by many companies, but the best quality products are products manufactured under the following brands:
- Varta;
- Renata;
- Duracell.
Good quality analogue of SR44W is made by firms: Sony, Maxell, Toshiba or Panasonic.
The SB-B9 analogue produced by the Japanese company Seiko also has good operational characteristics.
What to look for when purchasing
When purchasing, make sure that the marking designation is fully consistent with the type of original battery or its equivalent.
You should also pay attention to the expiration date, which is indicated on the packaging and the name of the manufacturer. Purchasing products from a well-known manufacturer in a reliable store will reduce the likelihood of obtaining counterfeit to a minimum.
