Button alkaline (LR / AG)

LR1120 battery: equivalents & specs

The LR1120 is a slim 1.5 volt alkaline button cell, 11.6 mm across but only 2.1 mm tall, also known as AG8, LR55 or 191. Its silver-oxide siblings are the 391 (SR1120W) and 381 (SR1120SW), which fit the same compartment and suit watches far better.

Buying and replacement notes

Wide and thin, this size serves slim watch movements and flat gadgets. It shares its 11.6 mm diameter with the LR1130, LR43 and LR44, so height is the only thing separating four different batteries; measure the old cell rather than guessing. For watches, the 381 handles simple analog movements and the 391 covers models with backlights or alarms.

Frequently asked questions

What is an AG8 battery equivalent to?
AG8, LR1120, LR55, L1121 and 191 all mark the same 1.5 V alkaline cell, 11.6 mm wide and 2.1 mm tall. The silver-oxide 391 (SR1120W) and 381 (SR1120SW) match the dimensions and substitute directly, with better voltage stability.
Will an LR1130 fit where an LR1120 goes?
No. Both are 11.6 mm wide, but the LR1130 is 3.1 mm tall against the LR1120's 2.1 mm. The extra millimeter stops the case back or battery door from closing. Match the height exactly; the diameter alone identifies nothing in this family.
Which silver-oxide cell replaces the AG8 in a watch?
Use the 381 (SR1120SW) for a plain analog watch and the 391 (SR1120W) for watches with lights, alarms or chronograph functions. Both are 11.6 x 2.1 mm silver-oxide cells delivering around 50 mAh at a steady 1.55 V.
