Exploring the Real Capacity of CR2032 Batteries

Was cool to be able to do this article, taking a deep dive into the real capacity of CR2032 batteries. the TL;DR version is that they are meant for REALLY low current draw over a long time, but it appears that you can stretch this for more inefficient use as needed: https://embeddedcomputing.com/technology/open-source/development-kits/cr2032-maximum-current-capacity-datasheet-reality-and-alternatives

    I used the High-drain lithium coin batteries from Murata for asset tracking and found this article to be very detailed and insightful. Thanks for sharing data from ur experiments. It would be great to see a similar analysis on small Li-Po batteries, as that would make an excellent read.

    Well thank you! 🤔 That is not a bad idea.
