CR1216
The CR1216 size is a true heavyweight in powering miniature electronics. VIDEX lithium 3V technology ensures flawless operation for laser pointers and electronics, giving you confidence that the device won't shut off at a critical moment.
Technical superiority of VIDEX CR batteries:
- Pazīstama arī kā (analogi): DL1216, ECR1216.
- High voltage (3V): Twice as powerful as regular alkaline batteries in a compact format.
- Excellent pulse discharge: Ideal for devices requiring periodic bursts of power (sensors, signals).
- Child-safe: Packed in a rigid blister to prevent accidents.

Q: What is the specification of the CR1216 battery and in which microelectronics is this thin profile mandatory?
Q: Why is the CR1216 (3.0V) often chosen for fishing night LED indicators instead of silver oxide (1.55V) batteries?
Q: How does the lithium CR1216 battery behave in ultra-thin (Slim) wristwatches over a long period?
Q: What are the risks if the surface of a thin (1.6 mm) CR1216 battery is not cleaned before insertion into medical equipment?
Q: Is it possible to integrate thicker CR1220 or CR1225 batteries into a CR1216 device socket?
A: The CR1216 is the thinnest of the 12.5 mm series elements – only 1.6 mm thick, providing a compact (around 25 mAh) capacity. This thickness allows it to be used in delicate, card-type blood glucose monitors, especially thin wristwatches, and fishing micro-LED float indicators.
Q: Why is the CR1216 (3.0V) often chosen for fishing night LED indicators instead of silver oxide (1.55V) batteries?
A: Night fishing LED diodes (especially blue and white ones) require a 3.0V starting voltage for direct ignition, which is possible only with lithium cells without a voltage step-up. The VIDEX CR1216 element is extremely lightweight, does not upset the float's balance, and functions stably in cold, damp autumn air (down to -20°C).
Q: How does the lithium CR1216 battery behave in ultra-thin (Slim) wristwatches over a long period?
A: The small capacity (25 mAh) is sufficient to drive quartz motor steps with microamperes (under 2 µA). However, unlike the thick CR2032 (which lasts 3-5 years), the resources of the ultra-thin CR1216 battery will run out within 1-2 years in the case of intensive display lighting, requiring timely service at a watch repair shop.
Q: What are the risks if the surface of a thin (1.6 mm) CR1216 battery is not cleaned before insertion into medical equipment?
A: Palm grease and sweat form an acid oxide layer on the 12.5 mm surface, creating microscopic galvanic resistance between the battery and the device's gold-plated contacts. In glucometers, this contact resistance lowers the voltage below 2.8V, causing erroneous sugar level readings (Err), so installation MUST be done with non-metal tweezers.
Q: Is it possible to integrate thicker CR1220 or CR1225 batteries into a CR1216 device socket?
A: Absolutely not, because the thickness difference is dramatic (1.6 mm versus 2.0 mm / 2.5 mm). Attempting to squeeze these batteries into the thin socket (e.g., a Smart Card) will break off or deform the device's metal contact springs, completely destroying the power circuit.
