Understanding SR716 before replacement
Identify the actual battery
SR716 is a documented Silver oxide / zinc primary cell with a nominal voltage of 1.55 V. Its reference diameter is 7.9 mm and its reference height is 1.65 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 SR716SW, SR716W, SR67 with SR716. 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 SR716. Their height, chemistry or voltage may differ. They are comparisons, not approved substitutes:
What to check before replacing SR716
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 SR716. 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.

W and SW are different load variants. The combined 357/303 product does not make every 357 and 303 product interchangeable.
Documented brands
Brand presence comes from product documents or documented code mappings; current availability is not checked.
Product-specific observations
Capacity belongs to an individual product and test regime. It is not a universal value for this battery type.

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
No explicit obstacle is recorded here; that is not evidence of compatibility.
Other type pairs without a recorded assessment
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
SR716: Published dimensions differ by manufacturer or reference method; tolerances and fit have not been established. Published technical records: VARTA / Seiko 1.65 mm; Maxell 1.68 mm (SR716SW). Device-level compatibility must be verified separately.

Common questions
What size is SR716?
Ø 7.9 × 1.65 mm
Can SR716 be recharged?
No. Do not charge primary cells.
Can SR716 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 SR716.
How does SR716 differ from SR714?
SR716 and SR714 have reference heights of 1.65 mm and 1.45 mm respectively, and nominal voltages of 1.55 V and 1.55 V. Their chemical systems are Silver oxide / zinc and Silver oxide / zinc. These comparisons do not establish a permitted replacement.
