FAQs
What does CR1632 mean?
CR signifies a lithium (manganese dioxide) battery. 16 refers to the diameter in millimeters (16mm), and 32 refers to the thickness in tenths of a millimeter (3.2mm).
Is the Panasonic CR1632 rechargeable?
No, the Panasonic CR1632 is a non-rechargeable (primary) lithium button cell battery and must be replaced when depleted.
What is the typical shelf life of a CR1632 battery?
Lithium coin cells like the CR1632 typically have a long shelf life, often 5-10 years or more when stored properly.
Can I use a CR1632 battery in place of a CR2032?
While both are 3V lithium coin cells, their physical dimensions differ (CR1632 is 16mm diameter, CR2032 is 20mm diameter). They are not interchangeable unless the device specifically allows for either size.
How should I store spare CR1632 batteries?
Store them in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and metal objects to prevent short circuits.
What is the operating temperature range for this battery?
Lithium coin cells generally operate well in a wide temperature range, typically from -10°C to +60°C, but performance may be reduced at extreme ends.
Troubleshooting
Device not powering on
Ensure the battery is correctly inserted with the proper polarity. Check if the battery is depleted and needs replacement. Verify device compatibility with the CR1632 battery.
Intermittent device function
Clean the battery terminals and the device's contact points with a dry, lint-free cloth. Replace the battery if it is old or shows signs of corrosion.
Short battery life
Confirm the device is not drawing excessive power. Ensure no other components are interfering with battery function. The device may have a higher power requirement than this battery can sustain for prolonged periods.
