R.I.P. Scout26
I've used generic button cells drop shipped from China off ebay for years. Handy for dial calipers, my welding helmet, laser pointer, bathroom scale, etc.Never had a problem yet, and for like 10% of common retail costs here in the US.
I ordered 10 Panasonic CR2032's from Amazon. They just got here today, but somehow I bought CR2025's I know I searched on the 32's, so not sure how I got the wrong ones but I checked the order and it was my mistake.I got them mostly for a digital scale. I need to see if the scale has a spring contact that might take up the extra space; maybe these will still work. Or maybe I can put a little brass spacer in there... They should be the right diameter...
They are both 20mm diameter, the difference is the thickness. 2032's are 3.2mm thick, and 2025's are 2.5mm thick. Slightly less mAh/runtime as well. So a 0.7mm thick brass spacer will do what you need.
