Nissan Leaf / Chevy Bolt Key Fob Remote Battery. And: What's the difference between a CR2032 and CR2025?

Please use my links and support my site. 

Link to CR2032's on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1Oas7Xa

If you insist, the CR 2025's are here: http://amzn.to/1OLwkNt

The thickness is the difference. The CR2032 is .7mm taller. It fits fine in the Nissan Leaf key fob.

The nice thing is at has 225mAh capacity vs the 165mAh in the CR2025. (Ore more. One seller on Amazon claims 600mAh capacity which means the battery would last FOUR times as long in the Leaf fob.)

So, you'll replace it about less often, if your time means anything to you. Plus the price difference is negligible.

Anecdotally, I see a lot more devices around that use a CR2032 for probably that reason: 36% more capacity so changing it less often is a good thing. And in most devices a .7mm height difference isn't anything worth considering.

If you're really curious what the numbers mean, the '20' in 2025 is the diameter in mm, and the '25' is the height, so as you can see, 32-25=7 so one is .7mm thicker than the other.

Update:

I bought a Chevrolet Bolt, and it uses the 2032, so now I can use the same battery in both remotes. :)

Nissan Leaf 2011. Both key fobs stopped being recognized. Put in new CR2025 batteries (cheap from Amazon, in date but at least a couple of years old) still not recognized. Read this post, ordered CR2032 batteries. Problem Solved! Gracias
