Why choose it

This cell offers a stable 1.2 V output with minimal memory effect, ensuring consistent performance over hundreds of cycles. The solder pins provide secure mechanical and electrical connection, eliminating the need for separate holders in compact designs. VARTA's proven quality in button cells means you can trust it for critical applications.

Ideal use cases

• Memory backup for real-time clocks and SRAM
• Portable medical devices such as glucose meters and hearing aids
• Industrial sensors and IoT endpoints
• Handheld instruments and remote controls

Good to know

For best results, charge at 4 mA for 14–16 hours. Avoid deep discharge below 1.0 V to prolong cycle life. Store in a cool, dry place; self-discharge is higher at elevated temperatures. This cell is RoHS compliant and suitable for automated soldering processes.
