Description
This is one Panasonic CR2032 lithium coin cell, supplied on its own retail card rather than in a strip. The front of the pack reads Lithium Coin 3V, and the cell is stamped CR2032 3V on its face, so the two agree before you open anything. CR2032 is an industry code rather than a Panasonic part number, which is the useful thing to know when you are buying: if your device manual, or the cell you are taking out, says CR2032, this is the cell that goes back in. One unit of this listing is one cell, so if you need spares for several key fobs, count them first.
The icons along the left of the pack show what Panasonic has in mind: a wristwatch, a car and house key fob, and a heart rate monitor. That is the usual company a coin cell keeps. Anything that specifies a CR2032 tends to be small, sealed and low drain, which is why the cell sits behind a screw or a clip rather than a hinged door. Kitchen scales, calculators, digital thermometers, bike lights, garage remotes and computer motherboards all commonly call for one. Check the code before you order, because coin cells of different codes look alike on a worktop and only one of them will sit properly in the holder.
The card is a child safety pack, marked as such, with scissor icons showing how it is meant to be opened; it is designed to resist being opened by hand, and that is deliberate. Panasonic also prints 0% Hg added on the front, meaning no mercury is added to the cell. We sell these in multiples of twelve, which suits a drawer of spares or a workshop tin more than a single replacement.

Frequently Asked
How do I know my device takes a CR2032?
Look at the cell you are removing, or at the device manual. The code is printed on the flat positive face of most coin cells, and it needs to read CR2032 for this one to sit correctly in the holder.
How many cells do I actually receive?
One unit of this listing is one cell on one card. Our minimum order is twelve units, so the smallest quantity you can buy from us is twelve cells.
Is a CR2032 the same as a CR2025?
No. The numbers in the code describe the size of the cell, so a CR2025 is a different cell even though it looks similar at a glance. Order the code your device asks for.
Can I recharge it?
No. A CR lithium coin cell is a primary cell, supplied ready to use and meant to be replaced rather than charged. Rechargeable coin cells are sold under different codes.
Does it contain mercury?
The front of the pack is printed 0% Hg added, which means no mercury is added during manufacture. Please still take used cells to a battery collection point for recycling.
Is the packaging child resistant?
Yes. The card is marked Child Safety Packaging and carries scissor icons, so it is meant to be cut open rather than pulled apart. Keep loose coin cells away from children.
