CR2032 vs CR2025 vs CR2016: An OEM Designer’s Guide
TL;DR All three cells share a 20 mm diameter and 3V nominal voltage; the only physical difference is thickness. CR2032 (3.2 mm thick) delivers approximately 225 mAh, making it our top recommendation for applications that prioritize runtime. CR2025 (2.5 mm thick) provides around 165 mAh and su...Read more -
LR6 vs R6P: Alkaline AA Outlasts Zinc Carbon by 4x
Key Takeaways LR6 alkaline AA batteries deliver 2,500-3,000 mAh, roughly four times the capacity of R6P zinc carbon cells at 600-1,000 mAh. Under high-drain loads above 500 mA, the performance gap widens dramatically because zinc carbon voltage sags severely. Shelf life of LR6 cells reaches 5...Read more -
