Vinnic Watch Battery 1.5V Silver Oxide 357 SR44 SR44SW 10 Pack

I bought these after reading many reviews of watch batteries arriving in loose in plain envelopes and being of dubious quality, with some of the batteries being dead or nearly dead. These came as pictured, in retail cardboard strip packaging where individual batteries can easily be removed. The batteries are fresh, with "best before" date printed on the package more than 3 years in the future. I needed to replace a dead LR44 battery in a digital caliper. Popped one in, worked like a charm. And these are silver oxide SR44s, which supposedly last longer than the alkaline LR44s but are a direct substitute. Price was good, at less than $1 per battery- more expensive than some of the poorer-reviewed 10-pack LR44 options, and quite a bit more than the 50-pack options, but I have no need for 50 batteries, 10 in the next 3 years will be more than enough. So quality was more important to me than price. Very happy with the purchase.

My wife spent way too much on silver oxide batteries at Target last year for our Christmas ornaments. We couldn't find the less expensive LR44 (alkaline) and there wasn't time to order from Amazon.The silver oxide batteries, SR44, will last longer and supply a more constant voltage. This is important for watches, etc. but overkill for ornaments. Planning ahead this year got me good batteries at a good price.The Vinnic batteries are made in China. The expiration date is 3 years 3 months from now, as stated in their description. Tested voltage was 1.56 & 1.58 for the first three 1.5 batteries used. Hopefully the chance of corrosion will be reduced by using a longer lasting battery. I was unfamiliar with the brand but these seem like a quality product.

I use the batteries for a dog bark control collar (it uses 3 batteries). I had previously bought the "50 Pack Maxell LR44 AG13 357 button cell battery "NEW HOLOGRAM PACKAGE"" but those never lasted more than a day or two. When I measured them they usually had about 0.6V of charge left. Fed up with the short duration I bought these ones instead: these last much longer!! Even when I measure them after a couple of weeks they have between 1.2v to 1.4v. These batteries are a better buy. Don't get fooled by the 50 pack low price; they won't last!

Great batteries. I purchased this 10 pack five years ago for a vintage HP15C calculator that required silver oxide batteries. I finally installed the last three batteries today. They are all up to voltage and running strong.

The batteries arrived in a timely manner. The price was great. They ate a advertises. I hope they last a long time.

My batteries from MBS arrived , it was held up by the Post Office due to Insufficient Postage. The batteries came in a plain envelope (not a typical Amazon envelope). The Postage due was $3.74. I had to make a special trip to the Post Office to pay for the postage due and to pick up the envelope. The batteries seemed OK, I don't have any issue with the batteries. Buyers Beware.

These are OLD STOCK batteries, and they behaved exactly that way. Out of 10 batteries, only 2 worked for more than a month. They lasted 2 months...then died. Store-bought equivalent batteries work for nearly two-years...in the same watches. It's NOT the watches, it's the vintage of the batteries that is the problem. Yes, they were cheap to buy...lesson learned.

Hi, I just wanted to share a few quick comments about these batteries. I made an Amazon Verified purchase on 10/31/2012. In my particular case the batteries were sold by iOttie, Inc., and the shipment was Amazon Prime fulfilled.The batteries came in a very cool blister 10-pack. Each battery is separately sealed. Also, the package is scored so it was easy to break off a couple spare units to put in my camera bag. I have posted a photo here for those of you who might be interested.I am using these batteries in an Olympus OM-2 SLR, which takes two at a time. The camera's light meter readings seem accurate using these batteries.Any other questions, please let me know.thanks,Cameron
