CR2016 vs. LR44 / AG13
Comparing 2 standards across 7 specifications. 7 key differences identified.
A CR2016 coin cell is a 3.0V Lithium Manganese Dioxide battery measuring 20.0mm in diameter and 1.6mm in thickness with a nominal capacity of about 90 mAh. Its slim profile suits low-profile devices like slim remotes, LED tea lights, and thin calculators, distinguishing it from the thicker CR2032 of the same diameter.
An LR44 battery is a 1.5V Alkaline button cell measuring 11.6mm in diameter and 5.4mm in thickness. SR44 is the Silver Oxide equivalent offering 1.55V with a flat discharge curve, critical for digital calipers.
