LR44 and CR2032 are both types of button cell batteries commonly used in small electronic devices. While they serve similar purposes, there are some key differences between the two:
- Size: LR44 batteries are smaller in size compared to CR2032 batteries. LR44 batteries have a diameter of about 11.6 mm and a height of about 5.4 mm, while CR2032 batteries have a diameter of 20 mm and a height of 3.2 mm.
- Voltage: LR44 batteries typically have a voltage of 1.5V, while CR2032 batteries have a higher voltage of 3V.
- Capacity: CR2032 batteries generally have a higher capacity and longer lifespan compared to LR44 batteries, making them suitable for devices that require more power over an extended period.
- Applications: LR44 batteries are commonly used in low-power devices such as watches, calculators, and small electronic toys. On the other hand, CR2032 batteries are often found in devices like key fobs, remote controls, and small medical devices.
It's essential to use the correct type of battery specified by the device manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and prevent damage to the device.
