Description
This is a six pack of Eveready CR2032 lithium coin cells, each one rated at 3V. The code is also the measurement: a CR2032 is 20mm across and 3.2mm thick, which is why the number printed on the cell you are replacing matters more than anything else when you order. Lithium chemistry holds its voltage steadily rather than fading away slowly, so a device tends to work normally and then stop clearly rather than drifting. The pack states the cells are ready to use up to 10 years in storage.
CR2032 is the most widely used coin cell in the house, which is why buying six at a time makes sense. It powers car key fobs and garage remotes, kitchen scales, digital thermometers, calculators, bicycle lights, LED tea lights and the small clock cell on a computer motherboard. Most of those sit out of sight until they stop working, so it is worth keeping spares in a drawer rather than hunting for one at an awkward moment. The card is marked child resistant, so it takes scissors rather than fingers to open, and the five you do not need stay sealed in their blisters.
Handle the cells by the edges. Skin oils on the flat faces can add resistance, and each cell carries its plus marking on the printed face, which is the side that almost always faces up towards the battery door. Keep spares in their packaging until they are needed so nothing metal can bridge the two faces. One unit of this listing is a card of six cells, and the minimum order is 10 cards, sold in multiples of 10. These sit alongside our other Eveready cells in AA, AAA, C, D and 9V sizes.

Frequently Asked
How do I know my device takes a CR2032?
The code is printed on the flat face of the cell already fitted. Lift it out, read the number, and match it exactly rather than by size alone.
What is the difference between CR2032 and CR2025?
Both are 20mm across, but the CR2032 is 3.2mm thick and the CR2025 is 2.5mm. A thinner cell may rattle or lose contact, so fit the code the device asks for.
Can these be recharged?
No. These are lithium primary cells, supplied charged and intended for single use. Do not put them in a charger or attempt to open them.
Which way round does the cell go in?
Each cell carries its plus marking on the printed face, and in most holders that printed side faces up towards the battery door or clip.
Will they still work if I keep them in a drawer?
The pack states they are ready to use up to 10 years in storage. Keep them sealed in the blister, away from loose keys and coins.
How many cells do I actually receive?
One unit of this listing is a single card holding six 3V cells. The minimum order is 10 cards, sold in multiples of 10.
