FAQs

Is the Renata CR1225 rechargeable?

No, this is a primary lithium battery and must not be placed in a charger.

What does the 1225 in the name mean?

Is this battery safe for air travel?

Generally, small lithium button cells contained within personal devices are permitted, but you should check specific airline regulations regarding loose batteries.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity and the contact points in the device are free of corrosion or debris.

Battery life appears shorter than expected

Verify that the device does not have an internal fault causing a current leak and confirm that no other batteries in the device are causing voltage imbalances.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High reliability for sensitive electronics
  • Consistent power output over time
  • Compact and lightweight design
  • Long shelf life due to low self-discharge

Cons

  • Not rechargeable

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When installing the CR1225, ensure your device is powered off if possible. Use non-metallic tweezers to handle the battery to prevent electrical shorting. Always wipe the surface of the battery with a clean, dry cloth before insertion to remove any skin oils, which can interfere with electrical conductivity. Ensure that the positive (+) side of the battery faces the corresponding contact point in your device's battery compartment. Keep these batteries in a cool, dry place and away from metal objects like keys or coins to prevent accidental discharge.
