FAQs
What type of devices use the Duracell 364 SR621SW battery?
This battery is primarily used in small electronic devices requiring stable voltage, such as wristwatches, small calculators, and some specialized medical instruments. It's identified by codes like 364, SR621SW, D364, AG1, and SR60.
What is the difference between SR621SW and 364?
SR621SW is the international standard (IEC) designation for a silver oxide button cell with specific dimensions and electrochemical properties. 364 is a common manufacturer or industry reference number for the same battery type. They are interchangeable.
How long does this battery typically last?
The lifespan depends heavily on the device's power consumption. In a standard watch, it can last from 1 to 3 years. The battery's shelf life (when unused) is typically several years, thanks to its silver oxide chemistry.
Is this battery rechargeable?
No, the Duracell 364 SR621SW is a primary (single-use) battery and is not designed to be recharged. Attempting to recharge it can be dangerous and damage the battery or device.
How should I dispose of used batteries?
Due to their silver oxide content, these batteries should be disposed of responsibly. Check your local municipal guidelines for battery recycling or take them to designated battery collection points, often found at electronics stores or waste management facilities.
Can I use an alkaline battery (e.g., AG1) instead of a silver oxide battery?
While an AG1 alkaline battery might fit physically, silver oxide batteries (like SR621SW/364) provide a more stable voltage output over their lifespan. Using an alkaline equivalent in a precision device like a watch may result in less accurate timekeeping or a shorter battery life. It's always best to replace with the specified silver oxide type.
Troubleshooting
Device not working after battery replacement
- Check Polarity: Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct positive (+) and negative (-) orientation. 2. Verify Battery Type: Confirm that the 364/SR621SW is the correct battery for your device. 3. Check Contacts: Ensure battery contacts in the device are clean and free from corrosion. Gently scrape them if necessary. 4. Device Fault: If the battery is correctly installed and new, the issue might be with the device itself.
Battery drains quickly
- Battery Age: Ensure the battery is fresh stock; older batteries can have reduced life. 2. Device Drain: The device may have a fault causing higher power consumption than normal. 3. Incorrect Battery: Using an incorrect battery type for the device can lead to rapid depletion, even if it fits.
Watch runs slow or stops intermittently
- Low Battery: The battery might be nearing the end of its life, and voltage is dropping. 2. Watch Movement Issue: The problem could be with the watch's internal mechanism, not the battery. Consider professional inspection. 3. Environmental Factors: Extreme temperatures can affect battery performance and watch accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
Replacing a small battery requires care to avoid damage to the device or the battery itself.
- Identify Correct Battery: Ensure your device requires a 364, SR621SW, D364, AG1, or SR60 battery type.
- Locate Battery Compartment: Consult your device's manual to find the battery compartment and opening mechanism. This often involves a small screw, clip, or twist-off back.
- Use Appropriate Tools: For watches, use a watch case opener and non-magnetic tweezers to prevent scratching or damaging internal components. Avoid using metal tools that could short-circuit the battery.
- Remove Old Battery: Carefully take out the old battery. Note its orientation (positive `+` and negative `-` sides).
- Insert New Battery: Place the new Duracell 364 SR621SW battery into the compartment, matching the polarity observed with the old battery. Ensure it sits securely.
- Close Compartment: Carefully reassemble the device, ensuring all seals are correctly seated if it's water-resistant.
- Test Device: Check if your device powers on and functions correctly.
Compatibility
This Duracell Silver Oxide battery is compatible with devices that specify any of the following battery codes:
- 364
- SR621SW
- D364
- AG1
- SR60
Always double-check your device's existing battery or manual for the exact code to ensure a perfect fit and correct voltage.
Product Care & Safety
- Storage: Store unused batteries in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing loose batteries together, as they can short-circuit.
- Disposal: Dispose of spent batteries according to local regulations. Silver oxide batteries should not be thrown in general waste due to their chemical composition. Many electronics stores or recycling centers offer battery disposal services.
- Safety: Keep batteries out of reach of children and pets. If ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Do not recharge, short-circuit, dismantle, heat, or expose batteries to fire. Leaking batteries can cause personal injury or device damage; if contact occurs, wash affected areas thoroughly with water.
