Victorinox Spartan Lite battery
2 × 3V lithium coin cell
Victorinox’s battery-change sheet names two CR1225 3V lithium cells for Spartan Lite / Huntsman Lite / Mountaineer Lite and related Lite LED modules. SwissCard Lite is CR1025 — different tool.
How to replace it
| How to open | Unfold the LED module and use the mini-screwdriver to push the housing cover off. Insert the two CR1225 cells as marked on the housing. |
|---|---|
| Orientation | As indicated by the markings on the housing |
| Access | Simple screwdriver |
| Notes | Victorinox also lists a single CR1225 for Traveller / Traveller Lite / SwissChamp XAVT clock/compartment variants — confirm which module you have. |
Important
- SwissCard Lite uses CR1025, not CR1225 — do not conflate Lite SKUs.
- Some Classic SAK LED covers use CR1025 or SR1130W — verify the Victorinox sheet for your exact tool.
- Keep coin cells away from children.

New battery but still not working?
A fresh 2 × CR1225 should restore Victorinox Spartan Lite if the battery was the problem. Work through the checks below before replacing the device.
- Check orientation
Confirm the cell is seated correctly: As indicated by the markings on the housing
- Check the battery type
This device needs 2 × CR1225 (lithium). Rechargeable cells are not supported for this device. Same size does not always mean the same battery.
- Check known model-specific issues

- Confirm the battery itself
For most coin cells, fitting a known-good fresh cell of the correct code is simpler than capacity testing.
- Still not responding?
If a correct, fresh battery installed properly does not restore the device, the fault may be elsewhere — the device may need service or replacement.
