Where should I store unused Varta CR 1616 batteries?
Store them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, and out of reach of children.
What does 'CR' and '1616' mean in the battery name?
'CR' indicates the battery chemistry (Lithium-Manganese Dioxide). '1616' refers to the physical dimensions: approximately 16mm in diameter and 1.6mm in thickness.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the positive (+) side facing up. Verify that the battery contacts in the device are clean. If the battery is old or has been in storage for a very long time, it may be depleted and require replacement.
Intermittent or weak performance
Check that the battery is making good contact with the device's terminals. Ensure the device is not a high-drain device that exceeds the battery's capacity. Replace the battery if it is old.
Battery drains faster than expected
Confirm that the device is not experiencing a fault causing excessive power drain. Ensure the correct battery type (CR1616) is being used, as a different size might not fit properly or could be confused with a higher-capacity battery.
