Button alkaline (LR / AG)

LR920 battery: equivalents & specs

The LR920 is a 1.5 volt alkaline button cell, 9.5 mm across and 2.1 mm tall, also sold as AG6, LR69 or LR921. Its silver-oxide equivalent is the SR920SW, better known as the 371, which is one of the most frequently fitted watch batteries anywhere.

Buying and replacement notes

This size is a watch staple, so nearly all retail demand goes to the silver-oxide 371 rather than the alkaline AG6. If your watch came back from a cheap battery swap and died within the year, check whether an AG6 was fitted; a proper 371 typically runs two to three years. The alkaline version remains acceptable for toys and gadgets where accuracy and leak risk do not matter.

Frequently asked questions

Is AG6 equivalent to the 371 watch battery?
Dimensionally yes: both are 9.5 mm wide and 2.1 mm tall. The AG6 (LR920) is 1.5 V alkaline while the 371 (SR920SW) is 1.55 V silver oxide with double the usable life in a watch. Fit the 371 in anything you care about.
What is the difference between LR920 and LR921?
Nothing meaningful. Both codes appear on the same 9.5 x 2.1 mm alkaline cell; the trailing digit reflects small rounding differences in how makers state the 2.05 mm nominal height. AG6 and LR69 are further names for the identical battery.
Can I use a 370 instead of a 371?
Usually yes. The 370 is the high-drain SR920W and the 371 the low-drain SR920SW, in the same case. Simple analog watches are designed for the 371; watches with chronographs, alarms or lights are better served by the 370. Either fits physically.
