Polarity and contacts

Why orientation and clean contacts matter more than brand.

Polarity

On coin batteries the flat side with the code is usually positive (+) — but always follow the tray diagram.

Polar H10 inserts CR2025 with the positive side downwards inside the cover — the manufacturer’s instructions win.

Contacts

Dirt, residue, or a damaged seal can look like a dead battery.

If a new battery fails immediately, reseat it and check the seal before buying another pack.
