I read in maplin.co.uk that SR-41 button cells are superior to LR-41s.
In what ways and by how much?
Thanks

Alkaline button cells use alkaline material such as potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte, while Ag O button cells use silver oxide as the electrolyte. The chemical reactions that occur in these two types of cells are also different, resulting in varying voltages and capacities.
The lifespan of alkaline and Ag O button cells depends on various factors such as the type of device they are used in, the current draw, and storage conditions. On average, alkaline button cells can last for 1-2 years, while Ag O button cells can last for 2-3 years.
In most cases, alkaline and Ag O button cells are not interchangeable. This is because they have different voltages and capacities, which can affect the performance of the device they are used in. It is important to use the type of button cell recommended by the device manufacturer.
Yes, both alkaline and Ag O button cells can be recycled. They contain materials such as zinc, manganese, and silver that can be extracted and reused. It is important to properly dispose of these batteries to prevent harm to the environment.
Yes, alkaline and Ag O button cells are safe to use. However, it is important to handle them properly and not expose them to extreme temperatures or puncture them. If swallowed, seek immediate medical attention as these batteries can be harmful if ingested.
