Features
Stable operating voltage under long-term low load discharge for Memory and RTC backup
Stable discharge characteristics through low internal resistance and high operating voltage
Employs highly conductive electrolyte, lowering internal resistance and providing stable operating voltage. This allows stable power to be obtained, with little change in operating voltage at high and low temperatures.
Superior leakage resistance and excellent storage characteristics
Employs a leak-resistant organic electrolyte, giving it better leakage resistance than battery types using alkaline electrolytes.
Furthermore, Maxell’s proprietary sealing structure achieves approximately 1% self-discharge rate.
Superior high rate discarge characteristics
Stable discharge until the end of the discharge process.
The CR2032S, with its new design specifically tailored for communication purposes, maintains stable performance even as discharge progresses. In a test mode designed for compact communication devices, it achieved an 11% improvement in operating time*.
* Maintains a voltage of 2.0 V or higher under discharge conditions of a 10 mA, 350 msec pulse current at 20 deg. C.

Construction
Principle and Reactions
The coin type lithium manganese dioxide battery uses manganese dioxide (MnO2) as its positive active material, lithium (Li) as its negative active material, and an organic electrolyte.
| Positive reaction : | MnO2+Li++e- → MnOOLi |
|---|---|
| Negative reaction : | Li → Li++e- |
| Total reaction : | MnO2+Li → MnOOLi |
