Understanding SR66 before replacement

Identify the actual battery

SR66 is a documented Silver oxide / zinc primary cell with a nominal voltage of 1.55 V. Its reference diameter is 6.8 mm and its reference height is 2.6 mm. These are nominal reference dimensions, not a promise that every manufacturer has identical tolerances.

This dataset describes a non-rechargeable bare cell, without solder tabs or wires. A tabbed or wired assembly requires a separate fit check.

What markings identify this type?

The dataset associates 1176SO, 377, SR626W, SR626SW with SR66. The manufacturer may use a different label on the package. These references help identify the type; they do not certify the battery for a particular device.

A suffix such as W or SW describes a discharge/load variant. Preserve this requirement when choosing a replacement.

Similar dimensions in this catalogue

The following types share the same reference diameter as SR66. Their height, chemistry or voltage may differ. They are comparisons, not approved substitutes:

  • LR66 — LR66: 2.6 mm high, 1.5 V; Alkaline zinc / manganese dioxide.
  • LR60 — LR60: 2.15 mm high, 1.5 V; Alkaline zinc / manganese dioxide.
  • SR60 — SR60: 2.15 mm high, 1.55 V; Silver oxide / zinc.

Commonly confused markings and sizes

The same SR66 family includes SR626W and SR626SW markings, as well as 376 and 377. In the recorded cross-references, 376 is the high-drain and 377 the low-drain label. Do not disregard that requirement.

What to check before replacing SR66

Read the original device marking, verify nominal voltage and chemistry, compare diameter and height, and check the contacts and load requirements. Same diameter, identical voltage, or a familiar brand prefix alone is not enough to establish interchangeability.

The available data contains no affirmative device-specific fit test for SR66. A missing compatibility relation means “not assessed,” not “compatible.”

How reliable are these specifications?

Core type characteristics were compared with primary material from at least two independent publishers. This does not verify all model-specific values or physical suitability.

Other designations

These codes identify the same type family. Match the load variant, terminals and device requirements separately.

W and SW are different load variants. The combined 357/303 product does not make every 357 and 303 product interchangeable.

Replacement limits

Device compatibility has not been verified. Dimensions alone do not prove that a battery fits or works.

These markings resolve to this type in documented sources. The exact variant and device requirements still matter.

Conditional replacement: review requirements

No conditional cross-type relation is recorded.

Known obstacles to direct replacement

Required SR66 → candidate SR60 — SR60

Reference dimensions differ. A particular holder has not been evaluated; no direct replacement is established.

  • Check the holder dimensions.

This pair has not been assessed. No compatibility conclusion is available.

No automatic replacement recommendation. Device compatibility has not been verified. Dimensions alone do not prove that a battery fits or works.

Documentary limits

Historical Energizer 377/376 reports 27 mAh. The documented 377 observation is 24 mAh under different conditions; neither is a type-wide capacity.

Common questions

What size is SR66?

Ø 6.8 × 2.6 mm

Can SR66 be recharged?

No. Do not charge primary cells.

Can SR66 replace another battery?

Not on the basis of size or matching names alone. Check the exact device requirements and the directed compatibility notes. This catalogue does not contain a guaranteed device-fit recommendation for SR66.

How does SR66 differ from LR66?

SR66 and LR66 have reference heights of 2.6 mm and 2.6 mm respectively, and nominal voltages of 1.55 V and 1.5 V. Their chemical systems are Silver oxide / zinc and Alkaline zinc / manganese dioxide. These comparisons do not establish a permitted replacement.
