CR1616 Lithium Battery-Dimensions, Equivalence, Datasheet

Lithium CR1616 is a button  /coin cell battery, featuring 16 mm (0.63 inches) diameter and 1.6 mm height  (0.06 inches) - hence the '1616' as a common part of most labels. Common CR1616 battery weighs in the 1.1 and 1.3 grams range. The CR1616 batteries can be used for laser pointers, insulin pumps, heart rate monitors, toys, watches, cameras, calculators, car security alarms, keyless car remotes, organizers, and computer equipment. They also work in extreme temperatures and hold power for up to eight years in storage.

1. The high energy density  (3V) with a flat and low self-discharge.

2. Design, safety, manufacturing, and qualification follow Procell’s stringent battery standards, which incorporate parts of the ANSI and IEC battery standards.

3. Economically packaged.

4. Child secure packaging: tamper-proof pack with a double blister so that it is impossible for a child  to open without scissors 

5. Operating temperatures  from -4  °F to 140  °

6. Good pulse capability

7. High discharge  characteristics

8. Stable voltage level  during discharge 

9. Long-term reliability

3D Models

The Energizer 1616 battery  is made for a variety  of devices  :

car remote keys, wristwatches, TV remotes, medical equipment, calculators, digital scales, heart-rate monitors, keyless entry, glucose monitors, toys, and games.

Common labels for CR1616 equivalent batteries are DL1616  , BR1616  , ECR1616  , 280-209, GPCR1616  , LiR1616  , KCR1616  , 5021LC  etc. Most labels, but not all, include '1616' in the label to indicate the battery size.

1. Specifications

CR1616 nominal capacity is 50(mAh). And its nominal voltage is 3V. It weighs 1.2(g) only. It is the standard weight. Otherwise, you may see a difference as well. The usable temperature range is -20℃～+70℃, and the storage temperature range is 0℃~30℃. And the storage humidity range is 40%~75%.  

On the contrary, the CR1620 battery’s nominal capacity is 70mAh. Besides, it has an instant short-circuit current of 200mA. And the nominal voltage of this battery is 3.0V. It weighs 1.3g. You can expect to have 175h service from this lithium manganese dioxide battery.

Its usable temperature range is -20℃～+70℃ while the storage temperature range is 0℃~30℃. Although, the storage humidity range is as like as CR1616.

2. Application

CR1616

• Glucometers

• Heart rate monitors

• Toys

• Computer backup equipment

CR1620

• Camera

• Electric thermometer

• Accutron

• Electronic watches/clocks

• Card radios

• Electric thermometer

• Organizer (backup battery for PDA such as Psion etc),

• Glucometer

• Toys

• Calculator

• Communication equipment

• Data pack for video camera

• Computer equipment (memory backup battery)

3. Durability

You won’t see any expiration date of a 1616 battery. However, it has an average lifespan. Generally, this type of battery lasts for approximately 5-10 years.  

On the contrary, a battery CR 1620 usually lasts for around 7 to 10 years. Evidently, these types of batteries have greater longevity. And that’s the reason you will see its usage in heavy-weight jobs like computer equipment, video camera, different communication equipment.

4. Height

A cr1620 battery is 2mm high, whereas a cr1616 battery is 1.6mm high. Remember, in respect of various works, the height of a battery also matters. It’s a crucial part of cell composition.
