Reliable energy for compact electronics

The VARTA CR1616 is the preferred power source for a wide variety of everyday devices where an extremely flat design and absolute reliability are crucial. Its main area of use is in remote control keys for vehicles, garage door openers, small remote controls for alarm systems, as well as in medical devices such as blood glucose meters or digital thermometers. It is also used as a backup battery in organisers and pocket calculators.

Superior lithium manganese dioxide technology

The lithium manganese dioxide technology (Li-MnO2) enables a high nominal voltage of 3 volts in a single, very flat cell. It is characterised by extremely low self-discharge, which ensures the long shelf life of up to 10 years. This technology guarantees stable performance over most of the battery's life and excellent performance even at fluctuating temperatures.

Developed for maximum reliability and safety

The CR1616 is manufactured to the highest quality standards in order to guarantee maximum reliability and leak protection. This protects your valuable electronic devices from damage. The protective and childproof individual blister ensures that the battery maintains its full power up to use and can be safely stored against short circuits and external influences.
 

Characteristics

FAQs about the VARTA lithium battery CR1616

What does the designation CR1616 mean?

The designation reveals the properties and size of the cell. "C" stands for the lithium chemistry, "R" for the round design. The numbers "1616" indicate the dimensions: 16.0 mm in diameter and 1.6 mm in height.

Is this battery rechargeable?

No. This is a lithium primary battery. It must never be attempted to recharge it. Charging attempts are extremely dangerous and may lead to fire or explosion.

What is the advantage over alkaline or silver oxide button cells?

The main advantage is the high voltage of 3 volts in a single cell, while alkaline and silver oxide cells only provide 1.5 and 1.55 volts respectively. In addition, lithium cells offer much longer shelf life and a broader operating temperature range.

How should this battery be disposed of?

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Please take the empty battery to the designated collection points in stores or to municipal recycling centres to ensure environmentally friendly recycling.
