## Maxell CR1616 (1616) 3V Lithium Watch Battery – Pack of 1

Maxell CR1616 is a genuine 3V lithium button cell, commonly cross-referenced under the code 1616. It is manufactured by Maxell and is designed for watches, remote controls, key fobs, and other small electronics. This listing is for 1 x CR1616 battery only.

This product is made for customers who want a reliable, correctly specified replacement battery for their existing watch, without guesswork over voltage or chemistry. It ships sealed to protect the contacts until you’re ready to fit it.

### Benefits

Fitting the correct battery chemistry and voltage matters more than people often expect: an incorrect substitute can run a watch fast, slow, or shorten the life of the movement. The CR1616 is matched to the 1616 specification so your watch keeps time the way its manufacturer intended. Lithium coin cells are known for a long shelf life and stable voltage delivery, and they perform reliably across a wide temperature range, which is why they are a popular choice for watches and electronics that may be stored for extended periods before use.

### How to Confirm Fit

Watch batteries of the same physical size are sometimes sold under different code names by different manufacturers, since there’s no single universal numbering system across the industry. Before ordering, check the code stamped on your existing battery or printed inside your watch’s battery hatch, and match it against 1616. If your old battery shows a different code, compare the physical diameter and thickness against the CR1616 rather than relying on the code name alone.

### Fitting Guidance & Safety

Many watches with a screw-off or snap-off case back can be opened at home with a small case-back tool, but we’d suggest a jeweller or watch specialist if you’re not confident, especially on water-resistant models, since disturbing the seal can affect water resistance until it’s re-tested. Handle button cells by the edges, avoid letting metal tools touch both terminals at once, and keep spare cells away from children and pets, as they are a swallowing hazard.

### Important Information

This listing covers the battery only; it does not include a watch, tool kit, or case-back opener. For chronographs, smartwatch hybrids, or any watch with additional electronic functions, please confirm with your watch’s manual that the CR1616 is the correct specification for that movement, as some multi-function watches are calibrated for a specific drain rate.
