CR2032 3V Lithium Battery CR 2032 20 PCS by GP Batteries Suitable for Keyfobs, Scales, Wearables and Medical Devices (DL2032)

Probably one of the best VFM and bulletproof battery brands on the market. I use them for car remotes, calculators and the garmin sensors for my bike.I think the 'childproofing' element of the packaging to prevent the batteries from being swallowed while a nice sentiment does make trying to get a battery out of the pack a bit of faff so be really really careful if youre using something like a screwdriver or knife to cut into the plastic and release a battery and just take it slow. The plastic itself surrounding the battery inside is actually quite thin compared to the outside. So take it slow and be mindful which way your knife or screwdriver is pointing or going when trying to get a battery out.This is the first time ive purchased GP 2032's. Normally I buy Panasonic, Duracell or Energizer ones but it just so happened i needed more than the usual 4 or 6 supplied and the GP's worked out cheaper for more of them.I have used their other batteries for fire alarms, door bells and bite alarms for fishing so Im well aware that they are quality batteries.

I use these cells in a flickering LED candle, for my mum, she likes the to have this candle permanently lit.It takes one cell, I had used Duracell 2032s previously, these lasted 7 days, almost exactly, with some consistency. These are cheaper and easier to remove from the pack, the current Duracells are a real pain! The cells last up to 7 days but I have had one that only lasted 6, and seemed to lose power early on, and this was from the same pack so there seems to be a minor quality control issue.Additional edit, consistently getting 6 days out of these cells when using them in a flickering candle continuously with still a bit of power left. So say 6.5 to 7 with a Duracell equivalent the is 92%, and these are a lot cheaper.Overall still happier with these cells, mainly due to the price at around half of the previous brand.

This is the second time I've purchased these batteries. The first set I had no problems with, I use them mainly for instrument tuners and kitchen scales. This pack was in child protection packaging, which either I didn't see in the description or it wasn't mentioned. Maybe all batteries are now sold this way, it's been a while since I bought them. I have incredible difficulty trying to get these out of the packaging. I ended up using a knife and cut myself twice. If there is some secret easy way to do it, I haven't found it yet. I am sure these are great if you have small children that need protecting but for an older person like me, opening them is a nightmare!

Good

I used these batteries in battery tea lights which operate for 6 hours every night. They were put in 1 week before Xmas and have just lost power in the beginning of June. Obviously they grow dimmer the longer time goes by. But close to 6 months of use is pretty good. I would buy them again.

They do the job.

I read many reviews of a variety of battery lights and feel very happy with our choice. The lights may appear delicate, but in fact they are quite robust and can be shaped imaginatively which really appeals to us. We have a number of cut glass vases, bowls and even a vintage marmalade dish which with these lightscan be scrunched inside. They look most effective on shelves, window ledges, even on the piano, to geat effect. They can be hung over mirrors or picture frames very effectively too. I am sure there are many oher ways to use them and I like the safety factor and ease of the small black switch on the discrete battery holder.

The batteries were an excellent price and arrived quickly in the usual clingboard packaging. Only time will tell how good they are. My criticism is that the pictures of the batteries clearly shows 'made in Japan', which is the main reason that I chose those other others. They are actually made in China.
