No electronic device can work without a power source. But for each device, only the one that is intended for it by the manufacturer is suitable. For many calculators, toys and watches, the GP189 model is used. This is a regular alkaline battery.

The reliability and durability of 189 alkaline batteries make them different from other models. The alkaline model is marked with two capital letters of the Latin alphabet AG.
There are also other designations for this model. The labeling in Latin letters is changed. And with it, the scope of the battery changes accordingly.
- AG is alkaline. For players, voice recorders, cameras, toys, vacuum cleaners. A common model is used universally. It has a long shelf life and long work;
- CR is lithium. It is also used everywhere. The main difference from the first is the constancy of voltage, high energy intensity;
- SR - silver. It is used in computer peripherals, cameras-soap dishes. Serves longer than lithium by 30%;
- Carbon-Zinc - saline. It has low power. For remote controls, smoke detectors and other low-consuming appliances;
- PR or Zinc-Air - air-zinc. Only suitable for hearing aids.
Analogs of battery GP189
This battery has analogues. The GP 189 model can be replaced with the following analogues, similar in parameters:
You can find other analogues, most importantly, that they fit in size and voltage.
Battery Applications
This type of battery is used in modern electronic devices. Watches, toys, cameras will work extremely long.
Separate models are used for hearing aids, in lighters, key rings, car alarms, security devices, flashlights and calculators. This power supply is reliable. When used in cold weather and at high temperatures, this battery does not quickly discharge.
Very often, manufacturers directly on the packaging indicate where it is recommended to use their power source.
Can I charge the GP 189 battery
The GP189 battery is not a battery, so it cannot be charged. The thing is that the battery and accumulators work due to a chemical reaction and in the first case this element is primary, that is, the chemical reaction proceeds in only one direction. Batteries are secondary elements, so the chemical process takes place in both directions.
Attention! You should not even try to charge the batteries, this can lead to depressurization, fire, or even explosion.
Popular manufacturers and their features
The most famous brands for alkaline batteries are Duracell and Energizer. By such parameters as capacity and efficiency, they occupy first places among other manufacturers. Of the shortcomings of these brands can be identified only a high price. Everything else is fine.
GP also dominates the market.Price / quality in comparison with the above manufacturers is better, despite a slight subsidence in the parameters before the same Durasell.
For cameras, batteries from Panasonic or Sony are best suited. These firms specialize in producing professional photo and video equipment and peripherals for them.
Among Russian manufacturers, one can distinguish Cosmos and Energy. They produce high-quality batteries, designed for long battery life.
What to look for when purchasing
When buying batteries, you should pay attention to the following parameters:
- Voltage. The purchased battery should have the same Volt as the replaceable one. Otherwise, the device will not turn on at a low voltage, with a large - microcircuits will burn;
- Capacity. Measured in mA \ h. In this case, the more the better. Since they will serve longer in time;
- Type of batteries. Lithium is better than alkaline, as it is larger in capacity. Alkaline is better than saline;
- Manufacturer. Well-known global manufacturers will never work at a loss. That means they will always produce high-quality and durable power sources.
