Setup and Installation
Before installing, ensure you have the correct battery type (SR626SW or 377) for your device. Refer to your device's instruction manual for specific battery replacement procedures.
- Identify Battery Type: Confirm that your device requires an SR626SW or 377 silver oxide battery. The number is often stamped on the old battery.
- Open Device: Carefully open the battery compartment of your watch or electronic device. This may require specialized tools.
- Remove Old Battery: Using non-metallic tweezers, gently remove the old battery. Note its orientation (positive and negative terminals).
- Insert New Battery: Insert the new Maxell SR626SW battery, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are correctly aligned as indicated in your device. Wipe the battery with a dry cloth before insertion.
- Close Device: Securely close the battery compartment.
Operating Information
Maxell SR626SW silver oxide batteries provide a stable 1.55V output, crucial for the accurate operation of watches and other precision instruments. Unlike alkaline batteries, silver oxide cells maintain a consistent voltage throughout their discharge cycle, ensuring reliable performance until depletion.
These batteries are designed for single use and offer a long shelf life when stored correctly.
Maintenance and Storage
- Storage: Store unused batteries in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Avoid touching the battery terminals with bare hands, as oils and dirt can affect performance. Use non-metallic tools if necessary.
- Disposal: Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations. Do not incinerate or mutilate batteries. Many communities offer battery recycling programs.
Troubleshooting
- Device Not Working: Ensure the battery is inserted with correct polarity. Check if the battery compartment is clean and free of corrosion. If the device still does not work, the battery may be depleted or the device itself may have an issue.
- Incorrect Time: If your watch is keeping incorrect time, verify that the battery is a silver oxide type (1.55V). Alkaline batteries (1.5V) can cause watches to run inaccurately as their voltage drops over time.
- Battery Leakage: If a battery leaks, immediately remove it from the device using protective gloves. Clean the compartment thoroughly. Dispose of the leaked battery safely.
