Energizer CR2032 3V Silver Coin Battery Review
Introduction
In the world of small but essential components, the coin battery plays a surprisingly significant role. For applications like SIM cards, motherboards, and various electronic devices, reliability and longevity are paramount. This review delves into the Energizer CR2032 3V Silver coin battery, putting its claims to the test in a real-world setting.
I’ve been using the Energizer CR2032 (Model Number: CR2032) for the past few weeks across multiple devices to gauge its performance, reliability and overall value. From the initial unboxing to its everyday use, I’ll share my experience with you to help you make an informed decision.
Key Features
The Energizer CR2032 boasts several key features that set it apart from the competition. These include an impressive 8-year shelf life, the ability to perform in extreme temperatures ranging from -22°F to 140°F, and child-resistant packaging. The battery also comes with a single-unit quantity, perfect for individual replacements.
The claimed 8-year shelf life is particularly noteworthy, providing peace of mind that the battery will remain potent when needed. I’m testing the battery’s performance and will discuss these results in detail further down.
Performance & Testing
To assess the Energizer CR2032’s performance, I incorporated it into several devices, including a digital scale, a key fob, and a few small electronic devices that utilize this battery type. The power output was consistent across the devices and in line with the specifications. The battery has performed with no unusual voltage drop compared to other brands I’ve tested previously. Additionally, the battery showed no signs of degradation or diminished capacity during the testing period.
The extreme temperature testing was more challenging to replicate with accuracy, but initial tests in both hot and cold environments didn’t show any significant performance issues. This requires more long-term observation, though.
One thing that should be emphasized: Using a battery of a different size in a device is not advisable, even if it physically fits. The capacity and performance would likely suffer, sometimes with disastrous results.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Long shelf life, performs well in a variety of devices, reliable power output, child-resistant packaging, readily available.
- Cons: The limited packaging (single-unit) might be inconvenient for those needing multiple batteries. More extensive extreme temperature testing is needed to definitively verify its performance claims.
Final Verdict
The Energizer CR2032 3V Silver coin battery is a dependable and reliable option for a variety of applications. Its long shelf life and consistent performance make it a valuable asset. While more rigorous testing regarding its extreme temperature performance is warranted, based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend the Energizer CR2032 for users requiring a high-quality, long-lasting coin battery. The price point is competitive, adding to its overall value proposition.
