317 watch battery for precise everyday timekeeping
The 317 watch battery, also known as SR516SW or Varta V317, is a compact 1.55V button cell designed for small quartz watches and other low-drain precision devices. When your watch begins to lose time, stop unexpectedly, or the seconds hand starts moving irregularly, replacing the cell with the correct size is the most important step toward reliable operation.
This category focuses on the 317 battery format, making it easier to find the exact replacement without searching through multiple similar button cells. The Varta V317 1.55V silver oxide battery is built for stable voltage output, which is essential for accurate quartz movement performance.
Why choose an SR516SW / 317 silver oxide battery?
Not all small round batteries are the same. The 317 watch battery is a specific size and chemistry intended for devices that need consistent power over time. Silver oxide cells such as SR516SW are commonly preferred in watches because they provide a steadier voltage curve than many alkaline alternatives.
- Nominal voltage: 1.55V, suitable for compatible quartz watch movements.
- Common references: 317, SR516SW, V317 and equivalent manufacturer codes.
- Typical use: wristwatches, miniature instruments and low-drain electronic devices.
- Stable output: helps maintain accurate timekeeping until the battery reaches end of life.
Before ordering, always compare the number printed on your old battery or check the watch manual. Even button cells that look almost identical can have different diameters, heights or electrical characteristics.
Compatibility tips before you buy
The markings on a watch battery are the best guide for replacement. If your existing cell is marked 317, SR516SW or V317, this category is intended for that specification. Avoid forcing a battery into the compartment, as an incorrect size can damage the battery contacts, case back or movement.
- Open the watch only with suitable tools, or use a professional service if the case is difficult to access.
- Note the battery code before removing the old cell.
- Insert the new 317 battery with the correct polarity, usually with the positive side facing up.
- Check that the watch starts and that the case back is properly closed.
Tip: If the watch does not start after fitting a new SR516SW battery, the contacts may need cleaning or the movement may require inspection by a watch technician.
