About Button Cells

Button cells (also called coin cells) are small, disc-shaped batteries used in watches, calculators, key fobs, and small electronics. The naming typically indicates chemistry and size: first letters show chemistry, numbers show diameter and height.

Common Chemistries

  • CR - Lithium (3V, long shelf life)
  • LR - Alkaline (1.5V, economical)
  • SR - Silver oxide (1.55V, stable voltage)
  • PR - Zinc-air (1.4V, hearing aids)

Size Codes

  • CR2032: 20mm diameter × 3.2mm thick
  • LR44: 11.6mm diameter × 5.4mm thick
  • CR123A: 17mm diameter × 34.5mm tall
  • Numbers = dimensions in mm or 0.1mm
