Today’s market offers a plethora of varied and distinct battery options. This article will provide an in-depth explanation of everything you need to know about the two types of coin cell batteries<\/a>, namely: CR2032 and CR2025. These batteries are known as watch<\/a> batteries or button cells, a small single-cell shaped like a squat cylinder typically 5 to 25mm. We see these kinds of batteries in small-sized electrical devices such as wristwatches, hearing aid<\/a>, and basic calculator.<\/p>\n

Are CR2025 and CR2032 the same?<\/h2>\n

These two batteries<\/a> may look the same at first glance, but they have subtle differences in their specifications. The difference between cr2025 and cr2032 is that CR2032 can deliver 225mAh with a thickness of 3.2mm, while the CR2025 \u00a0only delivers 160mAh with a thickness of 2.5mm. Its thickness can significantly impact on energy storage. With that said, you should opt for CR2032 since they have a much longer lifespan than other similar-sized batteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can I use a 2032 battery instead of a 2025?<\/h2>\n

The most frequent question is can you use cr2025 instead of cr2032 or vice versa. CR2025 and CR2032 can be used interchangeably in the battery<\/a> compartment, with only minor impact, as long as either one fits. However, because it has a higher capacity (mAh), we expect that the CR2032 will last slightly longer than the other.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have any other choice but to use a CR2025 battery on your device, one helpful tip is to fold up some aluminum foil and place it on top of the extra 0.7mm open space. Ensure good contact by closing your device, so it holds this piece of foil properly. Otherwise, there is a risk of intermittent connections between the spring contacts and your battery which can cause issues.<\/p>\n
