CR2032

3V lithium coin cell

CR2032 is a 3-volt lithium coin cell — about 20 mm across and 3.2 mm thick. Same diameter as CR2025 and CR2016, but thicker; do not swap by size alone. See CR2032 vs CR2025 if you are choosing between the two.

Rechargeables are not equivalents

Rechargeable coin cells (LIR, ML, VL, CTL and similar) are not drop-in replacements for disposable CR cells — voltage and charging requirements differ. Same size does not mean the same battery.

Device-specific caveats

From manufacturer-backed notes on devices that use CR2032 — not generic advice.

  • Avoid bitterant coatings per Wahoo
  • Do not recharge CR2032.
  • Keep coin cells away from children (ingestion hazard).
  • Wahoo recommends name-brand CR2032 without bitter coating for optimal performance.
  • Wahoo recommends Panasonic or other name-brand CR2032 without bitter/child-deterrent coating — coated cells can reduce performance.
