Description
This is a card of six Panasonic CR2025 lithium coin cells, printed on the pack as Lithium Coin 3V. With coin cells the code is the specification: the CR prefix marks a round lithium cell, and the four figures that follow give the size in millimetres, twenty across and two and a half thick. The thickness is the figure worth checking, because a CR2032 shares the same twenty millimetre diameter and simply stands taller, which is why the two are so often bought in error.
The icons printed across the top of the card show the three jobs these cells most often do: a car key fob, a camera and a watch. If you are not certain what your device takes, lift the old cell out and read its face, because coin cells carry their code stamped on the positive side and you will find CR2025 written there in full. Six on one card suits anyone who has more than one device on the same size, or who would rather have spares in the drawer than make a second trip for a single cell.
Each cell sits in its own sealed bubble on a backing the pack describes as child safety packaging, so you release one at a time and the remaining five stay carded and separate. The card also carries the 0% Hg added mark, meaning no mercury has been added to these cells. Keeping the unused cells on the card until you need them is the simplest way to know how many are left and to stop loose cells collecting in a drawer with keys and coins. We sell these in multiples of twenty cards, so they suit a workshop, a repair bench or anyone restocking a whole building rather than replacing one watch battery.

Frequently Asked
What does the CR2025 code actually mean?
CR marks a round lithium cell, and the figures give the size in millimetres: twenty across and two and a half thick. The code is printed on the face of every cell.
Will a CR2025 fit where a CR2032 was?
They share a diameter but not a height, so a CR2025 sits lower in the holder and may not make proper contact. Always match the full code printed on the cell you removed.
How many cells do I get, and can I open just one?
Six cells come on a single card, each in its own sealed bubble, so you can release one at a time and leave the other five sealed on the backing.
What voltage does each cell give?
Each cell is 3V, as printed on the front of the card. That is standard for a lithium coin cell of this type and it holds steady through most of its working life.
What is the 0% Hg added mark on the card?
It is the manufacturer stating that no mercury has been added to these cells. You will find it in the top right corner of the pack, beside the pack quantity.
How long do they keep before I use them?
Dates move with production batches, so the card you receive may carry a different one.
