FAQs
What devices is the Varta V395/SR57 battery suitable for?
This battery is ideal for small electronic devices such as quartz watches, calculators, car key fobs, remote controls, digital thermometers, and other microelectronic applications that require a 1.55V power source.
How long can I expect this battery to last?
The lifespan varies greatly depending on the device's power consumption. However, due to its high capacity (42 mAh) and low self-discharge, it offers extended operational life, often lasting several years in typical watch applications.
Is this battery rechargeable?
No, the Varta V395/SR57 is a single-use (primary) silver oxide battery and is not designed to be recharged. Attempting to recharge it can be dangerous.
What does 'SR57' or 'V395' mean?
These are industry designations for the battery's size and chemistry. SR typically denotes Silver Oxide, and the numbers (e.g., 57, 395) refer to its specific dimensions (diameter and height) and internal configuration.
How should I store unused Varta V395/SR57 batteries?
Store them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps maintain their charge due to the low self-discharge rate.
What is the shelf life of this battery?
Silver oxide batteries like the V395 have a very low self-discharge rate, typically offering a shelf life of several years (often 5+ years) when stored properly.
Where can I find the battery replacement information for my specific device?
Consult the user manual for your specific electronic device. It will usually indicate the correct battery type, size, and provide instructions for replacement.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on after battery replacement
Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity (+ and -). Check that the battery terminals and device contacts are clean. Verify that the compartment cover is securely closed.
Device performance is intermittent or weak
The battery may be depleted or not making proper contact. Re-seat the battery, ensuring a firm connection. If the issue persists, try a new battery as the current one may be expired or faulty.
Battery compartment is difficult to open
Use a proper tool designed for opening battery compartments, or a small flathead screwdriver used carefully. Avoid excessive force, which can damage the device.
