Comparison

SR927SW vs LR57

Short answer: same ≈9.5 × 2.7 mm size — SR927SW / 395 / 399 is silver oxide; LR57 / AG7 is alkaline. Charts that print “AG7 = 395” mix chemistries. Buy the type the movement or empty cell names.

Short answer

If the movement or empty cell says 395 / 399 / SR927SW, buy silver oxide — not alkaline LR57 / AG7.

Trade numbers → IEC codes (with alkaline twins listed separately) are on the watch battery chart under Tools.

Same size, different chemistry

Both are about 9.5 × 2.7 mm button cells. LR57 (also AG7 / LR926) is alkaline (~1.5 V) with a sloping discharge curve.

SR927SW is silver oxide (~1.55 V), often printed 395 / 399 on retail packs. Quartz watches that name 395 / SR927SW expect the flatter silver-oxide curve.

Pack labels that cause the mix-up

AG7 / LR926 usually mean alkaline LR57 — labelling, not a second size.

395 / 399 usually mean silver-oxide SR927SW. Charts that print “AG7 = 395 = LR57 = SR927SW” as one battery are wrong — we keep alkaline and silver oxide separate.

Do not use list

Do not treat 395 / SR927SW as an LR57 / AG7 equivalent (or the reverse) without checking the device.

Do not buy from a flattened “395 / AG7” blister without reading which chemistry the pack actually is.
