I use two import 0-6" dial calipers. One sits in the trunk of my car to be used on my weekly excursions to the local scrap yards and the battery is about a year old. The second one is used for rough and quick measurements in the shop. I just installed the fourth battery since November in the one I use in the shop. I have been using the LR44 (alkaline) battery that came with the calipers. Today I requested the LR44 and was handed a 357/303 (silver oxide) and told that it was the only one on hand and it would work. I don't know anything about these small watch type batteries. However It does fit , and the voltage is the same.
Has anyone used this substitute battery?
Did I do the right thing to accept this substitute?
Will this battery last as long, or longer than the LR44?
I'm getting tired of replacing the battery, and hope this one is better!
