- energy capacity - 140 mah.
The weight is different (on average 1.1-1.2 grams), depending on the particular manufacturer. Usually, one tablet is supplied.
Battery analogs CR1632
Analogs are all models that have identical size parameters. That is, you can pick up any kind of tablet-type battery that has 1632 in the marking, that is: 1632, ECR1632, KCR1632, BR1632, LM1632.
You can use not only lithium power supplies. For watches, calculators, you can choose not so energy-intensive options, for example, manganese-zinc, alkaline, air-zinc.
Battery Applications
Coin-shaped miniature batteries are used to power various equipment that is used every day, as well as for devices from specific areas.
In particular, these are:
- calculators;
- small remote controls
- Kids toys;
- Wrist Watch.
Quite often, the CR1632 battery is installed in various medical devices that need the uninterrupted supply of the same energy. It is also used in various computer components.

What to look for when purchasing
First of all, you need to pay attention to the dimensions of the battery, they are encrypted in the name CR1632, where 16 is the diameter in mm and 32 is the height (3.2 mm). The second is voltage. Usually it is 3v, but if it is more or less, then your device may not work. The third is the capacity, the higher it is, the longer it will work.
It is also worth paying attention to:
- Operating temperature range;
- quality of workmanship;
- warranty period;
- the ability to exchange defective goods.
In most cases, worrying about buying a lithium battery is not worth it.Since it is used in many devices, therefore, there is demand, each manufacturer is aimed at producing goods of decent quality.
