What exactly is the difference in these batteries? Aren't they both just 3v lithium cells? I need to replace a CR2016 but only have CR2032 on hand. Thoughts?

CR2016 is 20mm in diameter and 1.6mm thick
CR2032 is 20mm in diameter and 3.2mm thick
Nominal dimensions of course.
www.eveready.com , technical info, primary cells - all the info is there.

Thanks for the offer, but silly me wrote about the wrong battery. I actually need a 2025, which I now know is 2.5mm thick.

Re: CR2025 and CR2032 coin cell batteries
Some devices aren't picky about the thickness of the cell.
But many are.
Is that cell for an FOB remote?

Re: CR2025 and CR2032 coin cell batteries
2016s and 2032s are popular for "flat" keychain LED lights.
It's tough to imagine that there are many applictions worried about an additional 0.7mm of cell height. The only issue I can think of offhand is that a 2032 might be able to deliver more current than a 2025 if your application depends on the inherent discharge limitations of particular cells.
I'd guess that the 2032 has about 3x the capacity of the 2016.
