Varta Lithium button cell CR2032 3V

Description

Product information

The VARTA CR2032 is a high-quality 3-volt lithium button cell and the world's most widely used battery for small electronic devices. Based on proven lithium manganese dioxide technology (Li-MnO2), it offers extremely reliable and long-lasting power supply. As a single cell ("bulk"), it is ideal for the initial equipment (OEM) of computers, industrial controllers and other professional electronic assemblies in large quantities.

Highlights at a glance

  • Industrial quality: Guarantees constant and reliable performance for professional devices and series production.
  • Maximum reliability: The global standard for CMOS and RTC backup applications.
  • Extreme durability: Can be stored for up to 10 years thanks to extremely low self-discharge.
  • Wide temperature range: Works reliably even under demanding thermal conditions.
  • Tested quality: Each cell meets the highest quality standards for maximum performance and leak-proof safety.

Reliable energy for data retention

The VARTA CR2032 is the preferred energy source for buffering BIOS/UEFI settings (CMOS) and real-time clocks (RTC) on motherboards. Its main area of use is in computer technology, industrial PCs, servers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and a variety of embedded systems. For years, it ensures that configuration data and the system time are retained even without external power.

Superior lithium manganese dioxide technology

The lithium manganese dioxide technology (Li-MnO2) enables a high nominal voltage of 3 volts and an extremely low self-discharge rate of less than 1% per year at room temperature. This guarantees maximum operational readiness even after many years of storage and a very long service life in practical use. This technology is the key to reliability in maintenance-free "fit and forget" applications.

Developed for industrial integration

As an unpackaged single cell, the CR2032 is intended directly for processing in industrial production (OEM) or for demand-based use in service and maintenance. It is optimised for use in battery holders or can be assembled with solder pins or cables by specialised companies. This reduces packaging waste and optimises workflows for professional users.
