Understanding CR1632 before replacement
Identify the actual battery
CR1632 is a documented Lithium / manganese dioxide primary cell with a nominal voltage of 3 V. Its reference diameter is 16 mm and its reference height is 3.2 mm. These are nominal reference dimensions, not a promise that every manufacturer has identical tolerances.
This dataset describes a non-rechargeable bare cell, without solder tabs or wires. A tabbed or wired assembly requires a separate fit check.
What markings identify this type?
The dataset associates ECR1632, DL1632 with CR1632. The manufacturer may use a different label on the package. These references help identify the type; they do not certify the battery for a particular device.
Similar dimensions in this catalogue
The following types share the same reference diameter as CR1632. Their height, chemistry or voltage may differ. They are comparisons, not approved substitutes:
What to check before replacing CR1632
Read the original device marking, verify nominal voltage and chemistry, compare diameter and height, and check the contacts and load requirements. Same diameter, identical voltage, or a familiar brand prefix alone is not enough to establish interchangeability.
The available data contains no affirmative device-specific fit test for CR1632. A missing compatibility relation means “not assessed,” not “compatible.”
How reliable are these specifications?
Core type characteristics were compared with primary material from at least two independent publishers. This does not verify all model-specific values or physical suitability.

Common questions
What size is CR1632?
Ø 16 × 3.2 mm
Can CR1632 be recharged?
No. Do not charge primary cells.
Can CR1632 replace another battery?
Not on the basis of size or matching names alone. Check the exact device requirements and the directed compatibility notes. This catalogue does not contain a guaranteed device-fit recommendation for CR1632.
How does CR1632 differ from BR1632?
CR1632 and BR1632 have reference heights of 3.2 mm and 3.2 mm respectively, and nominal voltages of 3 V and 3 V. Their chemical systems are Lithium / manganese dioxide and Lithium / polycarbon monofluoride. These comparisons do not establish a permitted replacement.
