A battery like the AG5 can breathe life into your electronic device for a long time. Thanks to its alkaline content, it can last, for example, in a watch for over a year. In other words, this type of chemistry is called Alkaline. These are also available commercially. lithium cells, which work much longer, but they will be much more expensive than alkaline ones.
Externally, the AG5 is a flat, silver-colored cylinder. The positive terminal is marked. Essentially, it's a coin cell battery designed with all modern technologies in mind.

Is it possible to charge?
Naturally, you can recharge the battery, but it will only last for a few minutes, if not seconds. So, it's best to save yourself the trouble and buy a new battery, especially since they cost around 10-20 rubles.
Attempting to charge the AG5 can cause electrolyte leakage, explosion, or complete battery damage. Main methods:
- Apply current.
- Rub on the carpet.
- Heat the AG5 battery in boiling water without covering it completely.
- Using pliers to squeeze the battery can easily damage the battery and cause electrolyte leakage.
Therefore, we do not recommend using a charger under any circumstances.
Tips for buyers
Before purchasing, you need to know the main points.
- What batteries does your device require, is it really AG?
