Description
This is a Duracell CR2032 lithium coin cell, supplied two to a blister pack. The number is the size rather than a model name: in the standard coin cell naming, 2032 means a cell 20mm across and 3.2mm thick, so any device that asks for a 2032 will take this one. The chemistry is lithium, which gives a nominal 3 volts from a single cell rather than the 1.5 volts an alkaline cell of the same shape gives. The pack also prints the code DL/CR 2032, so a manual naming a DL2032 is naming this same cell.
A 2032 is the cell small electronics reach for when they need a steady, low current over a long stretch rather than a short burst of power. Car key fobs, remote controls, kitchen and luggage scales, digital thermometers, fitness trackers, door and window sensors, calculators and the backup cell on a computer motherboard all commonly take one. It is worth prising the old cell out and reading it before you order, because a 2025 and a 2016 share the same 20mm diameter and sit in the same holder while being thinner. If the number printed on the old cell reads 2032, this is the direct replacement.
Each pack holds two cells, so a spare stays in the drawer for next time. The pack is marked Baby Secure pack and battery and carries a keep out of reach of children warning, so keep the card sealed until the second cell is needed. Coin cells of this size should be kept well away from small children and taken to a battery recycling point once flat. We sell these in multiples of ten packs, and they sit alongside our other Duracell lithium coin cells, including the CR1616, CR1620, CR1632, CR2016 and CR2450, and a four pack of the CR2032.

Frequently Asked
Is a DL2032 the same as a CR2032?
Yes. The pack prints the code as DL/CR 2032, so a device or manual asking for either name takes this cell.
How many cells do I actually receive?
Two cells in one sealed blister card. The minimum order is ten packs, which works out at twenty cells in total.
What voltage does one cell give?
Three volts nominal from the single cell, because the chemistry is lithium. An alkaline cell of the same shape would give only 1.5 volts.
Can I fit a CR2025 where a CR2032 is specified?
A 2025 is the same 20mm diameter but only 2.5mm thick, so it can sit loose in the holder and lose contact. Fit the number the device asks for.
Does the manufacturer print a shelf life on the pack?
No shelf life figure is printed on this pack, so we state none. Keep the cells in their sealed card and away from loose metal objects until needed.
