Description
The JCB CR2016 is a 3V lithium coin cell battery measuring 20mm in diameter and 1.6mm thick, designed for small electronic devices that require compact, reliable power. The lithium chemistry provides stable voltage output across the battery's life, making it suitable for watches, car key fobs, calculators, fitness trackers, medical devices and remote controls that use CR2016 cells.
Lithium coin cells hold their charge for extended periods when unused, typically retaining 90% or more of their capacity after several years in storage. This makes the CR2016 a practical spare to keep in a drawer for emergency key fob or watch battery replacements. The cell fits standard CR2016 battery compartments without modification and works across a wide temperature range, maintaining performance in both cold and warm conditions.
JCB batteries are manufactured to IEC standards and tested for consistency in voltage output and capacity. The single-pack blister card protects the cell from short-circuiting during storage and transport, with the battery isolated from other metal objects until it's removed for use. The 3V output is standard for CR2016 cells, compatible with all devices designed to run on this battery type.

Frequently Asked
What devices use CR2016 batteries?
CR2016 cells power watches, car key fobs, calculators, small remote controls, fitness trackers, glucose monitors and other compact electronics. Check your device's battery compartment or manual to confirm the correct cell size before purchasing.
What's the difference between CR2016 and CR2032?
Both are 20mm diameter lithium coin cells at 3V, but the CR2032 is 3.2mm thick compared to the CR2016's 1.6mm. The thicker CR2032 has roughly double the capacity. They are not interchangeable — use only the size specified by your device.
How long does a CR2016 last?
Battery life depends on the device's power draw. In a watch the CR2016 typically lasts 2-3 years. In a car key fob with regular use, expect 1-2 years. Devices with backlights or frequent transmissions drain the battery faster than low-power devices like calculators.
Can I store spare CR2016 batteries?
Yes. Lithium coin cells have a shelf life of 5-10 years when stored in their blister packaging at room temperature. Keep them away from metal objects that could create a short circuit across the terminals.
