The AG10 battery is widely used in small electronic devices such as calculators, watches, and laser pens. However, fluctuations in supply or device specification requirements may necessitate compatible alternatives. In this guide, you will find four reliable replacements for the AG10 battery, their technical specifications, and use cases to help engineers, OEM buyers, and technical users make their decision.
📌 What is an AG10 battery?
The AG10 is an alkaline button cell battery, also known as LR1130, 189, and L1131. It has a typical voltage of 1.5 V, dimensions of 11.6 mm × 3.1 mm, and is widely used in low-power devices.
Quick overview of AG10 specifications:
- Nominal voltage: 1.5 V
- Capacity: ~80-100 mA
- Chemical composition: alkaline
- Diameter: 11.6 mm
- Height: 3.1 mm
🔄 1. LR1130 (direct replacement)
LR1130 is probably the direct and most commonly used replacement for the AG10 battery. It is manufactured by many brands and has the same voltage, size, and chemical composition.
✅ Why choose LR1130?
- Dimensions and specifications are completely identical
- Widely available at a reasonable price
- Common choice for use in small electronic devices
You can purchase a replacement for LR1130 from DRex Electronics and take advantage of bulk purchase and fast delivery services.
🔄 2. SR1130SW (silver oxide version)
