Can I recharge the Varta CR 1620?

No, this is a primary lithium-manganese dioxide battery and is designed for single-use only. Attempting to recharge it can be dangerous.

Is this battery interchangeable with a CR2032?

No, CR1620 and CR2032 batteries have different diameters and thicknesses. Always use the size specified by your device manufacturer.

What should I do if the battery leaks?

Avoid skin contact. Use gloves to remove the battery, clean the device contacts with a cotton swab and a tiny amount of vinegar or lemon juice, and dispose of the battery according to local hazardous waste regulations.

How do I dispose of this battery?

Do not throw it in regular household trash. Take the battery to a designated battery recycling collection point to ensure safe processing.

Why is it important to keep button cells away from children?

Button batteries pose a severe risk of internal chemical burns or choking if swallowed; always keep them out of reach of infants and small children.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When installing the Varta CR 1620, ensure the device battery compartment is clean and free of moisture or corrosion. Use non-metallic tweezers or dry, clean fingers to handle the battery to prevent finger oils from affecting electrical conductivity. Always ensure the positive (+) side faces the designated marking in your device. If a device will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the battery to prevent potential leakage. Store unused batteries in a cool, dry place and keep them in their original blister packaging until use to prevent accidental short-circuiting against other metal objects.
