With the advent of compact batteries, you can use electronic devices even in the woods. The challenge is choosing the right battery for the device, with the appropriate voltage and size. For the uninitiated, it's difficult to determine which battery to buy. Let's take a look at this popular product: CR1620 battery.
Technical parameters
The CR1620 battery pack features compact, ergonomic design and lithium-ion technology. It provides:
- voltage - 3 V;
- nominal capacity– 68 mAh;
- size 1620 means 16mm in diameter, 2mm thick;
- weight – 1.2 g.
The long shelf life of 10 years is due to the low self-discharge (no more than 1% in 12 months). Panasonic CR1620 3V battery charges effectively in a wide temperature range (-30 - +80 OWITH).
Replacement with an analogue
When you need a new battery, but you can’t find a product with the marking on it CR1620 3V, it is permissible to use an analog. The condition is that the voltage and size must match. Similar batteries include:
- CITIZEN: 280-208;
- DURACELL: DL1620;
- SEIKO4: SB-T17;
- ENERGIZER: ECR1620;
- AWI: L08.
The brand of the presented analogs differs, but the technical properties are completely identical, so the electronic device will work again and perform its functions.
