This document contains Anotated Technical Data on the “357” EverReady (Energizer) , Silver Oxide Batteries , which are high current capable cells, in an IEC size SR44 case.
Data Sheets from different production times, as well as other vendors data sheets are included. Data on replacements for the 357 cell (which ceased production few years ago) from EverReady are also included.
In addition for comparison, various other model AgO cells in the SR44 case size, are included.
Battery impedance data for the original 357 , is derived and plotted. This is based on the most detailed discharge curves supplied in the original 357 data sheets.

This file discusses Silver Oxide type 357 battery characteristics. (SR44 size)
It calculates and plots "typical" battery impedance data from discharge curves originally published for the high current 357 EverReady (Potassium Hydroxide Electrolyte) silver oxide battery, in the Union Carbide (EverReady brand) Battery databook. This data book which has been out of print for many years, contained the most comprehensive data for the 357 ever published.
The 357 specs changed over the years and Everready no longer makes the 357.
The current EverReady replacements,for the 357 are known as the "357/303" and also "357/303H" (higher current), these have characteristics between that of the of the original low current (NaOH) 303, and the 357.
Even the "H" version appears a bit less capable for high current applications. The original 357 was specified at a wrist temperature (LED wrist watch usage) of 35 degC, unlike most cells today, which are rated at ~21 deg C.
Keep in mind that running at 35 deg C gives slightly improved performance, as the cell impedance is a bit less at 35C, than it would be at room temperature. Later versions of the battery and revisions of the data sheet for the 357, were specified at room temperature (21C).
EverReady originally made a number of cells in the same SR44 case size as the 357, including the 303, but the 357 had the flattest discharge curve with the highest current capability, making it most suitable for Olympus OM SLR cameras and similar devices.

Internal Resistance: From Guaranteed Spec (from original data sheet) : >1.2V at 100 Ohm, 0.1sec to 2sec pulse, this translates to ~ 29 Ohm :
(1.55V − 1.2V) |
= 29.167 Ω |
note the last ( 2004), 357 battery data sheet, |
|||
1.2V |
|||||
|
guaranteed a lower max value of ~19 Ohm |
||||
|
|
|
|
|
100ohm
Note this spec is considerably higher than the graph, even at end of discharge.
After sitting on the shelf for ~2yrs at 20C , depending on the vendor the battery impedance may rise into the ~20 Ohms region at partial discharge, which may explain this higher max "guaranteed" impedance spec than the typical values shown in these curves.
Last (3/29/2004) data sheet available for Energizer 357 has this guaranteed worst case spec: 100 Ohm 2 Sec load >1.3V at 21C This translates to ~19 Ohms
It also has: |

very approx 3 Ohm) cf ~2 Ohm above |
