Precautions
- Charging Voltage Control: Always keep charging voltage within 3.1V ~ 3.3V (typical 3.25V). Overcharging above 3.5V will lead to permanent capacity degradation.
- Do Not Short-Circuit: External short circuit generates excessive current, resulting in heat buildup, component damage or shortened service life.
- Do Not Heat or Incinerate: Do not expose battery above +85°C, burn it or disassemble the cell casing.
- Observe Correct Polarity: Confirm positive (+) and negative (-) polarity during PCB assembly and installation into battery holders.
- Do Not Direct Solder: Avoid direct high-temperature soldering on cell body. Use pre-welded tabs or dedicated coin cell holders for mounting.
Typical Applications
- Real-Time Clock (RTC) and SRAM memory backup in compact laptops, handheld terminals, and smart meters

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the primary difference between ML2016 and ML2032?
A1: Both are 3.0V rechargeable Manganese Lithium batteries with 20.0mm diameter. ML2016 thickness is 1.6mm, capacity 25mAh; ML2032 thickness is 3.2mm, capacity 65mAh. ML2016 suits ultra-slim equipment design.
Q2: Can I use ML2016 to directly replace non-rechargeable CR2016?
A2: Physically compatible. If your PCB has a charging circuit (3.1V~3.3V), it can be charged normally. Without charging circuit, it works as a disposable battery and cannot be recharged.
Q3: Are custom solder tabs and wire leads available for ML2016?
A3: Yes. We supply ML2016 with vertical/horizontal tabs, 2pin/3pin solder terminals and custom wire & connector assemblies.
Q4: What charging mode is recommended for Maxell ML2016?
A4: Constant voltage charging with current-limiting resistor is recommended. Set charging voltage to 3.25V ±0.05V with series resistor to limit surge charging current.
Q5: What products can ML2016 be used for backup power?
A5: Suitable for RTC clock, SRAM memory backup, wearable devices, smart keys, IoT sensors, portable medical equipment and small embedded modules.
Q6: What alternative models can be considered if ML2016 is out of stock?
A6: For rechargeable solution: ML2032 (larger capacity, thicker size). For one-time power supply: CR2016. Note: CR2016 cannot be charged, do not mix charging circuits for different battery types.
Q7: What is the operating temperature range of ML2016?
A7: Operating temperature: -20°C ~ +60°C. Long-term usage beyond this range will shorten cycle life and cause capacity attenuation.
Q8: Can I solder wires directly onto the ML2016 cell body?
A8: Not recommended. High temperature direct soldering will damage internal sealing structure. Please adopt prefabricated tab version or standard coin cell battery holder.
Q9: How long is the shelf life of unused ML2016?
A9: Under recommended storage temperature (-10°C ~ +40°C), low self-discharge design keeps stable performance for up to 2 years.
