Description
This is a two-cell pack of Duracell CR2016 lithium coin batteries, each one a 3V cell in the flat, round coin format that small electronics use when there is no space for a cylindrical battery. The code on the pack reads DL/CR 2016, so a device asking for DL2016 or CR2016 is asking for this same cell. Lithium coin cells hold their voltage steadily through most of their working life rather than fading away early, which is why they are chosen for devices that need a dependable signal rather than a lot of current.
Before ordering, read the code off the cell you are replacing. CR2016, CR2025 and CR2032 look alike at a glance and the last two digits matter, so copy the code across exactly rather than going by appearance. The format turns up in car key fobs and keyless entry remotes, in slim calculators and handheld remotes, and in small timers, meters and novelty electronics around the house. We stock other Duracell coin cells beside this one, including CR1616, CR1620, CR1632, CR2025, CR2032 and CR2450, along with LR44 and LR54 alkaline coin cells and silver oxide types such as SR626 and SR927.
Each blister holds two cells. The minimum order is ten, sold in multiples of ten, so a first order brings ten packs and twenty cells in total, which suits a workshop, an office or a household feeding several remotes at once. The pack states Baby Secure pack and battery and carries a keep out of reach of children warning: coin cells this size are a swallowing hazard, so keep spares in the sealed blister and out of the way. Duracell prints no shelf life figure on this pack and we quote none. These are single use cells, so recycle them at a battery point rather than trying to recharge them.

Frequently Asked
My device asks for DL2016. Is that the same as CR2016?
Yes. The pack itself is coded DL/CR 2016, which means the two references name one cell, so either marking on your device points to this battery.
How many cells do I actually receive?
Two cells come in each blister pack. The minimum order is ten packs, sold in multiples of ten, so the smallest order brings twenty cells in total.
Can I fit a CR2032 instead if that is what I have to hand?
No. Match the code exactly to the cell you removed. A holder built around a CR2016 expects that cell, and a different code is a different battery.
What voltage does each cell give?
Each cell supplies 3V, which is the standard output for a lithium coin cell and the figure a CR2016 holder is designed around.
Are these rechargeable?
No, these are single use lithium cells. Do not attempt to recharge them; when they are spent, take them to a battery recycling point.
Is a shelf life printed on the pack?
Duracell does not print a shelf life figure on this pack, so we do not quote one. Keep unused cells sealed in their blister until you need them.
