Can you replace a cr2032 with cr2025 on car remote?

No, you cannot replace a CR2032 battery with a CR2025 battery in a car remote. While both batteries are 3V coin cell batteries, they have different diameters.

- CR2032 batteries have a diameter of 20.3mm, while

- CR2025 batteries have a diameter of 20.0mm.

This difference in diameter means that a CR2025 battery will not fit snugly into the battery compartment of a device designed for a CR2032 battery. As a result, the battery may not make proper contact with the terminals, causing the device to malfunction or not work at all.

Also, The thickness of a CR2032 is 3.2 mm while that of a CR2025 is 2.5 mm

Additionally, the capacity of a CR2032 battery is 235 mAh, while the capacity of a CR2025 battery is 165 mAh. This means that a CR2025 battery will not last as long as a CR2032 battery in a device that draws a lot of power.

Therefore, it is important to use the correct size battery for your car remote to ensure that it functions properly and that you get the expected battery life.
