Description
The JCB CR2032 is a 3V lithium coin cell battery supplied in a 6-pack blister card. Each cell measures 20mm diameter by 3.2mm thickness and provides stable voltage output for low-drain electronics including car key fobs, digital watches, medical glucose monitors, fitness trackers, calculators, motherboard CMOS chips, and LED keyring torches.
The lithium chemistry gives the CR2032 a longer shelf life than alkaline button cells, typically retaining charge for 5-10 years in storage before use. This makes the 6-pack format practical for households and workshops where multiple devices need periodic battery replacement but individual cells are used infrequently. The blister card keeps unused cells sealed until needed.
Each cell is rated at 3V nominal voltage with a typical capacity of 200-240mAh depending on the specific load profile of the device. The construction uses a leak-resistant seal between the positive and negative terminals, reducing the risk of electrolyte leakage that can damage delicate circuit boards in watches and medical devices. The JCB branding indicates these are manufactured to the same quality standards as JCB's tool and equipment batteries.
The 6-pack format provides replacement cells for multiple devices or allows stockpiling for devices that require frequent battery changes. Each cell in the pack is individually marked with polarity indicators on both the positive (top) and negative (bottom) faces to avoid installation errors in tight battery compartments.

Frequently Asked
What voltage does the CR2032 provide?
The CR2032 is a 3V lithium coin cell. This is the standard voltage for this cell size and is compatible with all devices designed to take CR2032 batteries.
How long does a CR2032 battery last?
Battery life depends on the device's power draw. In a car key fob used a few times daily, expect 2-4 years. In a watch with basic timekeeping, 3-5 years is typical. High-drain devices like fitness trackers may drain a CR2032 in 6-12 months.
Can I use CR2032 batteries in medical devices?
Yes. CR2032 cells are commonly used in glucose monitors, digital thermometers and other portable medical devices. Always check the device's manual for the specified battery type before replacing.
What's the shelf life of unused batteries?
Lithium coin cells typically retain charge for 5-10 years when stored in the sealed blister pack at room temperature. Keep the pack in a cool, dry place away from metal objects that could short-circuit the cells.
