CR2025 and CR2032 are both coin cell batteries with similar specifications, but they have key differences. Below is a detailed comparison:
Parameter | CR2025 | CR2032 |
---|---|---|
Diameter | 20mm | 20mm |
Thickness | 2.5mm | 3.2mm |
Capacity | Around 150mAh | Around 210mAh |
Voltage | 3V | 3V |
Lifespan | Shorter due to lower capacity | Longer due to higher capacity |
Weight | About 2.5g | About 3.1g |
Common Uses | Car key fobs, watches, calculators, small remote controls | Electronic scales, computer motherboards (CMOS battery), medical devices, LED lights |
Interchangeability | In some cases, but shorter battery life | Can replace CR2025, but may not fit in all battery compartments |
Thickness & Capacity
CR2032 is thicker (3.2mm vs. 2.5mm), which allows it to store more energy.
CR2032 has a higher capacity (~210mAh vs. ~150mAh), meaning it lasts longer than CR2025.
Usage & Compatibility
Both batteries provide the same voltage (3V), so they can power similar devices.
CR2032 can sometimes replace CR2025, but due to its thickness, it may not fit properly in devices designed for CR2025.
Battery Life
Since CR2032 has a larger capacity, it provides longer operating time in devices compared to CR2025.
Yes, but with caution. If the battery compartment allows for the extra thickness, CR2032 can replace CR2025 and provide a longer lifespan.
No, if space is limited. Some battery slots are designed precisely for CR2025, and a thicker CR2032 may not fit properly.
If your device specifies CR2025, it's best to use that exact model.
If needed, CR2032 can sometimes be used as a substitute, but check the fit first.
If space allows, using CR2032 instead of CR2025 can increase battery life due to its higher capacity.
