The Interstate 3V CR1616 Battery is a primary lithium coin cell engineered for dependable, low-drain power in compact electronics. With an IEC designation of CR1616 and a nominal 3.0V output, it is commonly used as a replacement battery for car key fobs, watches, fitness trackers, calculators, small remotes, and select medical and sensor devices in residential and commercial settings. It features a standard coin form factor for CR1616 devices (approximately 16 mm diameter and 1.6 mm height) and is interchangeable with equivalent part numbers such as DL1616 and ECR1616. This non-rechargeable lithium-manganese dioxide cell provides stable voltage delivery suitable for intermittent and continuous low-current applications.
Technical details typically associated with CR1616 cells include a nominal capacity around 50 mAh (dependent on load and temperature) and a wide operating temperature range often specified from approximately -20°C to +60°C. Installation is straightforward: observe polarity (the “+” side faces up in most holders), avoid short-circuiting, and do not mix old and new cells. Safety notes for coin cells apply—keep out of reach of children due to ingestion risk, do not recharge, puncture, or incinerate, and recycle according to local guidelines. Choose the Interstate Batteries CR1616 3V lithium coin cell when you need a reliable replacement part that matches OEM specifications for devices calling for CR1616.
