What it fits

Analog watches and cameras. Confirm the printed number or measure the old cell before you buy — a 0.5 mm height difference will not seat correctly.

IEC names encode chemistry and size. SR is silver oxide, LR is alkaline, and CR is 3 V lithium. The digits are diameter and height in tenths of a millimeter, so SR1136SW is about 11.6 mm across and 3.6 mm thick.

Same size, different drain

These cells share the 11.6 × 3.6 mm can. Low-drain (SW) is for simple analog watches. High-drain (W) handles lights, alarms, and chronographs. A modern multi-drain cell can usually cover both.
