A: The CR1616 is a 16.0 mm diameter battery, but its thickness is only 1.6 mm, providing approximately 50 mAh capacity at 3.0V voltage. This extremely thin geometry is specifically adapted to power ultra-flat car key cards (Smart Keys) and compact everyday measuring devices where space is critically limited.
A: Asian car manufacturers' remotes often use a flat "Smart Card" design that physically does not allow the insertion of thicker elements. The VIDEX CR1616 Li-MnO2 element can continuously power the 125 kHz immobilizer ping signal, guaranteeing Keyless-Go function stability over a 1-2 year duty cycle without increasing the remote's size.
A: Step counter accelerometers require a stable microampere power supply around the clock. The CR1616's dry lithium electrochemistry absorbs mechanical shocks while walking (there is no liquid electrolyte), maintaining a constant processor working voltage to avoid data loss.
A: Physically, the battery will fit in a 16.0 mm socket, but the 1.6 mm thickness (compared to 2.0 mm or 3.2 mm) will not form a tight contact with the device's negative spring. This will cause power interruptions when using the car remote (when pressing the button), and the smaller capacity (50 mAh versus 130 mAh) will rapidly discharge the element.
A: When the temperature in the car cabin reaches +50°C to +60°C in summer, the lithium element's self-discharge can rapidly accelerate beyond the normal 2% per year. To guarantee a 5-year shelf life with 90% remaining capacity, the CR1616 spare MUST be stored in a dry environment at room temperature, not in a vehicle.
