There are many types pinky batteries. Lithium and alkaline power sources are quite expensive and it makes no sense to use them in such simple electrical appliances as remotes or children's toys, but the R03 salt battery is ideal. They are cheap and ideal for low power devices.

Specifications R03
R03 batteries have certain parameters, the knowledge of which will allow better battery replacement. Features that will help distinguish this element from other batteries include:
Parameter | Value |
---|---|
Basic designation | AAA |
The form | Cylinder |
View | Saline |
Capacity | ~ 540 mA / h |
Voltage | 1.5 v |
Analogs R03 | Read more HERE |
Height | 44.5 mm |
Diameter | 10.6 mm |
Weight | ~ 12 gr |
Operating temperature range | from -5˚С to + 55˚С |
The battery capacity, depending on the manufacturer, can vary significantly, but the geometric shape and voltage remain unchanged (if purchased for replacement AAA battery, then its voltage can be 20% less than that of R03).
Battery Application
R03 salt batteries can be used in portable, low-power electronic devices. Such devices include:
- Led lights.
- Digital radios.
- Kids toys.
- Remote controls
- Trinkets alarm.
In any of the devices listed, AAA salt batteries can be used, but if the galvanic cells cannot cope with providing the device with a sufficient amount of electricity, then you should consider purchasing a battery that is suitable in size and voltage.
Battery Analogs R03
In the absence of the original battery, it can be replaced with an analogue. Such products are fully consistent with the battery R03 power, voltage and size. This type of battery includes:
- 286.
- AAA.
- Lithium - FR03.
- Alkaline - LR03.
- Nickel-Zinc - ZR03.
- Nickel Cadmium - KR03.
- Nickel Metal Hydride - HR03.
In the listed analogues, another type of electrolyte can be used, therefore, such products often have a longer duration of operation.
Can I charge the R03 battery
Cell R03 is not a battery. This means that the battery cannot be recharged. Even if you try to use homemade or store chargers. In this situation, there is a high probability of overheating of the element and its explosion.
As a result of such actions, the performance of the network storage device can be seriously impaired. In addition, ignition of the cell is possible, but even if this does not happen, you can get serious injuries from parts of the body and electrolyte flying apart in different directions.
The use of “folk” battery recovery methods is also not recommended. Even if, after squeezing the product with pliers, the voltage at the contacts can rise by tenths of a volt, this phenomenon will be short-term.
If frequent replacement of R03 batteries is necessary, it is recommended to purchase Ni-Mh batteries. Such products can be recharged many times, which will save a considerable amount of money.
Popular manufacturers and their features
The size of AAA batteries is very popular, so few battery manufacturers do not produce such batteries. Most often on the cases of products and their packaging you can find the names of the following brands:
- GP.
- Sony
- Varta.
- Kodak.
- Robiton
- Duracell.
- Daewoo.
- Satellite.
- Defender
- Camelion.
- Energizer
- Panasonic
There are dozens of other companies that produce R03 batteries, but the products of these manufacturers are of the highest quality.
Among Russian brands, Cosmos and Trophy deserve special attention from buyers. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials and modern technologies, the products of these companies are practically not inferior in quality to their foreign counterparts.
What to look for when purchasing
The first thing to do when buying is to make sure that a quality product is purchased that is appropriate in size and voltage. The AAA lettering, alphanumeric - R03 or the number of one of the full analogues may indicate the battery belongs to this category of goods.
Voltage information is also indicated on the battery case. Standard R03 batteries, as well as their alkaline analogues, have a voltage of 1.5 V. AAA batteries have a voltage of 1.2 V.
Despite the low cost of the R03 battery, the basic rules for selecting elements of this type should not be neglected, namely:
- Purchase the product only in trusted or trusted locations.
- Do not buy batteries that are near the end of their life or have expired.
- Refuse to purchase if there are visible signs of damage on the case or packaging.
- Do not purchase R03 batteries marked on a foreign language only.
- Give preference to products of well-known manufacturers.
Putting these rules into practice will not only save you money and time. A poor-quality battery can leak or start to overheat, which can lead to significant consequences.
