Re: CR 2032 lithium cells
I restocked on CR2032's with my last order from element14 - $0.23 each, something like 10-15p. They seem as good as anything else I've used.

Re: CR 2032 lithium cells
Normally I would use the cheapest I could get but because it was for my car key fob I wanted to be sure of getting a reliable one and not risk damaging the plastic of the fob by opening it up too many times.
I bought a two pack by Duracell in the end and found the lock operation much closer to being instantaneous than with the old battery. Interestingly I checked the 7 year old battery on the 1 amp range on my AVO. It rapidly reached 300 m/A. It's voltage was 2.7 but I didn't check it on load. Jim |
