Precautions
- Charging Voltage Control: Maintain charging voltage within 2.8V ~ 3.3V (nominal 3.1V-3.2V). Voltage exceeding 3.4V will degrade capacity and cause permanent internal damage.
- Do Not Directly Solder Cell Body: Soldering should only be performed on FL27E terminals. Never apply heat directly to the battery stainless steel housing.
- Current-Limiting Protection: Fit a series limiting resistor on charging circuit to prevent excessive inrush current after deep discharge.
- Check Polarity Orientation: Confirm positive and negative tabs are correctly placed on PCB pads to avoid reverse charging damage.
- Thermal & Mechanical Limits: Do not heat above 85°C. Never burn, crush, puncture or disassemble the battery.
Typical Applications
- Real-Time Clock (RTC) and SRAM memory retention in smart energy meters and industrial gateways

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does “FL27E” stand for in MS920T-FL27E?
A: “FL27E” designates the factory pre-welded terminal tab configuration, covering shape, direction and pin spacing, designed for SMD or through-hole PCB assembly.
Q2: What advantages does Seiko MS manganese silicon chemistry have?
A: It features stable discharge voltage, low internal resistance, strong overcharge tolerance and higher available capacity compared with conventional rechargeable lithium coin cells.
Q3: Can MS920T-FL27E work with standard 3.3V power circuits?
A: Yes. It is rated for 3.0V nominal operation. It can be continuously trickle charged from a regulated 3.1V~3.2V power rail with simple resistor and diode protection circuit.
Q4: Can I request other tab styles or custom wire leads?
A: Yes. Apart from FL27E tabs, custom solder pins, lead wires and connector assemblies can be supplied upon request via inquiry form.
Q5: Are there alternative or compatible replacement models for MS920T-FL27E?
A: The base model MS920T (without tabs) shares identical electrical parameters, but requires separate welding if you need PCB mounting. There is no fully pin-to-pin drop-in competitor; always verify charging circuit design before switching brands.
Q6: What is the main difference between rechargeable MS series and common CR2032 primary coin cells?
A: MS920T is rechargeable for RTC backup cycling. CR series are disposable primary batteries and cannot be recharged. Do not replace each other directly without redesigning charging circuits.
Q7: How long can the MS920T-FL27E maintain charge during storage?
A: Thanks to ultra-low self-discharge design, it retains most capacity over years when stored at -30℃ ~ +45℃ environment, suitable for equipment long-term shelf storage.
Q8: What risks will happen if charging voltage exceeds 3.4V?
A: Excessive voltage will accelerate capacity decay, cause internal electrolyte decomposition, and may lead to swelling or permanent battery failure. Strictly limit charging voltage within 2.8V~3.3V.
