FAQs on the VARTA Lithium Battery CR1632

What does the designation CR1632 mean?

The designation reveals information about the properties and size of the cell. "C" stands for the lithium chemistry, "R" for the round construction. The numbers "1632" stand for the dimensions: 16.0 mm in diameter and 3.2 mm in height.

Is this battery rechargeable?

No. This is a primary lithium battery. It must not under any circumstances be attempted to recharge. Attempts to do so are extremely dangerous and can lead to fire or explosion.

What is the advantage compared to alkaline or silver oxide button cells?

The main advantage is the high voltage of 3 volts in a single cell, whereas alkaline and silver oxide cells only provide 1.5 and 1.55 volts respectively. In addition, lithium cells offer a much longer shelf life and a wider 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 the municipal recycling centres to ensure environmentally sound recycling.
