I own several different small humidity/temperature gauges that I keep
in instrument cases to monitor humidity levels during the colder
months. I need to replace batteries in all of them and one in
question takes the equivalent of LR44's. I would like to buy enough
replacements in bulk to get the price down, but since the LR44 is sort
of the alkaline (I think) version of the SR44/357, it makes more sense
to me just to order the proper batteries for my OMs and skip the
LR44's in this case. The data sheets are similar, both indicating
that the battery is good for occasional high pulses, but the 357 is in
addition better for low continuous drain. I've tested 357s in the
device and it seems to like them for now.
In a simple-minded way, typical of many of my passages through life, I
guess I am making the assumption that a 357 will do everything a LR44
needs to do, but also more. Can anyone who knows battery lore bless
this assumption?
