Analogs of the battery renata 371
If you don’t have the opportunity to buy just such a watch battery, then you should not panic. Each battery can be replaced with an analog. Different manufacturers have identical products with different designations. At the same time, they remain completely interchangeable. Their parameters, voltage and other characteristics completely coincide.
For button renata 371, suitable analogs are batteries with markers SR920SW, 371, V371, D371, 280-31, SR921, SR69, GS6.
If necessary, the element can be replaced with a tablet with a smaller capacity. Although it will shorten the life. Or is it possible to put silver instead of oxide alkaline (alkaline) battery. In this case, it will be marked LR, and the voltage is slightly lower - 1.5 V.
Is it possible to charge the battery 371
This question can be answered unequivocally - not. The recharge function is not provided. Battery capacity does not depend on indicators such as expiration date, operation or rest state.
The only thing that can seriously ruin the tablet is a violation of storage rules. Sudden changes in temperature, leading to the formation of condensation or load, which can damage the housing.
At the same time, it is recommended to change the battery with special tweezers and try not to touch it with bare hands. After all, it may be of poor quality or not tight, as a result of which you can touch the internal chemical element.
Popular manufacturers and their features
A lot of companies produce button batteries identical to renata 371. Here is a list of the most basic:
- Duracell
- Varta;
- Toshiba;
- Maxell
- Sony
- Panasonic
- Seiko;
- Energizer
- Citizen
- Camelion
- Minamoto;
- SEIKO.
All manufacturers can be divided into Swiss, German, Japanese, American and Chinese. The main difference between them is the parameter of internal resistance, set according to different European standards.
The only thing it affects is the tester's testimony. The lower the resistance, the greater the indicator will give the device. However, this does not mean the power of the battery itself.
Because of this feature, many undeservedly reject Swiss batteries. They have the highest resistance and many Chinese counterparts give great results on the test.
What to look for when purchasing
Be sure to check the release date. The standard format is month / year. It is indicated on all types of packages and on the edge of the battery itself. Do not buy goods with damaged or damp packaging.
It is better to ask how they were transported and where they are stored. It is these factors that can reduce the performance of an element. However, it is precisely on these questions that you are unlikely to be told the truth.
There are pluses. You can not be afraid of purchasing repackaged test tablets. So called trial batteries with obviously reduced power. Renata simply does not release them. But be careful with other manufacturers. Most often, dodgers falsify the packaging of Japanese batteries.
