A: The AG1 (known as 364A) is one of the smallest commercially available batteries, with a diameter of 6.8 mm and a thickness of only 2.15 mm, generating around 13 mAh capacity. This extremely miniature format is critically required in the smallest analog women's quartz watches and discrete hearing aids.
A: To hide the microphone capsule in the ear canal, the device size must be minimal, so the battery diameter must not exceed 6.8 mm. VIDEX LR621 alkaline elements provide sufficient current to the sound amplifier's transistors during a daily load cycle without extra weight (the element weighs less than 0.3 grams).
A: The laws of physics dictate – the smaller the volume, the less electrochemical capacity (only 13 mAh). Although stepper motors are optimized for micro-consumption, this amount of energy provides autonomy for an average of 6 to 12 months, as opposed to the 3-year cycle of large men's watches (with a larger battery).
A: Heating or burning any size coin cell battery is strictly forbidden – it not only fails to restore capacity but can cause a thermal explosion. As the temperature rises rapidly, internal potassium hydroxide evaporates, overpressures the cap's insulation ring, and can eject hot corrosive alkali.
A: The 6.8 mm x 2.15 mm element is so delicate that strong pressing with metal tools can dent the center of the negative pole and cause an internal short circuit. After removal from the blister, the battery should be gently slid into the socket from the side, never pressing its center against the sharp contact edges of the device.
