Toshiba Cr2032 3V Lithium Coin Cell Battery, Pack of 5

great value

The 5-pak is great value for the money. The manufacturer has a great reputation for quality products. The battery life and power is still working well.

These are batteries. They fit some garage door opener remotes.

Difficult to open the packaging but were fresh. Good quality and value for money.

Good product and price.

I am no expert on batteries, but a quick google search on CR 2032 batteries suggests they should at least last 5 years, and might even last to 10 years unused. Well, I put 4 of these batteries unused into a drawer where there is little change in temperature. There they stayed, and until I needed a CR 2032 battery for a car key fob. Well, first one did not work. I thought it was a problem with the key fob maybe? Second battery did not work. Then I switched a functioning CR 2032 battery from one key fob to the other key fob - the one that was not working. Now it worked! So now knew the problem with the key fob was the battery. I then tried a 3rd Toshiba CR 2032 battery, and this one worked! So 2 out of 3 brand new, never used CR 2023 batteries failed.Not very happy with this. That's a 66% failure rate!These Honda key fobs originally came with Duracell CR 2032 batteries. Would Duracell be better? Hard to know. I do know that I am quite surprised that these Toshiba batteries failed. I did purchase some Duracell batteries and the packaging indicates those last at least 8-9 years.I have written Toshiba asking for them to send a replacement pack of 5 batteries to me. If they do this, I will rewrite this review and up it to 3 stars. If they send a replacement, then Toshiba is still standing behind their product. If they ignore me or do nothing, then I will know that Toshiba doesn't really care about its brand.

I bought Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic 2032 and checked them with a test meter. The Toshiba's had a higher voltage level this time. Last time I purchased Duracell, Energizer, and Sony. The Sony's had a higher level. Normally I buy Duracells for everything. I think the public is hexed by the 2032 because it only comes in lithium and it is in everything from key fobs to computer motherboards. Lithium tends to die in a big way while alkaline still has voltage 10 years after you are done using them. I think other battery types might be better in a 2032 like a Duracell optimum or a silver oxide. I recommend you buy a test meter and check the voltage levels yourself. A battery with a higher voltage level probably will last longer.

All is good!
