KTS lithium battery (What's inside?)
56Uncutted footage of getting inside KTS lithium battery. (diameter of 20 mm and a height of 3.2 mm) P.S: you can find this type of the CMOS battery in your PC for example. Maximum CMOS battery life is almost 10 years.
CR2032 batteries are no different from other kinds of batteries in terms their function. Each battery is a tiny self-contained electrochemical cell with a positive and negative end. The CR2032 battery uses a combination of lithium and manganese dioxide to power a chemical reaction that converts chemical energy into the electrical energy that powers portable devices like watches and remote controls.
Every battery has a chemical it uses for the positive end and another it uses for the negative end. In the CR2032, the positive electrode is composed of manganese dioxide while the negative electrode is made of lithium. The lithium anode is placed on top of the manganese dioxide cathode, and a salt bridge separator is placed between them.
In this redox reaction, the lithium side oxidizes, and the manganese dioxide side reduces. As this occurs, electricity flows through the devices that the CR2032 battery powers. More lithium comes out of solution and builds up on the surface of the negative end while more manganese dioxide goes into solution.
When the chemical reaction is finished, the electrical current ceases to flow through the CR2032 battery. At this point, most CR2032 batteries cannot be recharged. They must be disposed of properly.
The lithium in the CR2032 is what gives the battery its power. Very few small sized batteries can deliver the same punch. That’s another reason why the CR2032 is not rechargeable. If it were, it would discharge itself too quickly, and it wouldn’t be nearly as practical for the watches and remote controls it typically powers. Remember, lithium is a temperature sensitive material. It doesn’t take much heat to get it to melt into the separator layer in your battery, causing a short circuit, so please always be careful. Thankfully, CR2032 batteries don’t contain any toxic metals or reactive acids. By the time your CR2032 battery loses its charge, the highly reactive lithium inside of it has been transformed into a non-reactive metal compound. Used CR2032 batteries don’t generate that much heat on their own, and they pose no risk of releasing chemicals that could make it into your local ecosystem. Unlike its predecessors, the lithium battery is one of the most environmentally friendly sources of portable electric power. It can be thrown away in the trash with no risk of acid leaking into the water supply, and it never leaves any reactive materials behind once its charge has depleted. But although lithium batteries are safe for the environment, they still pose a safety risk when used improperly.
Don't swallow, because acid can leak and cause small holes in the stomach or intestinal cavities. Many lithium batteries are designed to deliver a big current, so they can heat up pretty fast when they are short circuited. Avoid placing CR2032 batteries on top of one another or near any metals that could cause them to short. In a worst case scenario, the batteries will explode. In a best case scenario, nothing happens because the batteries use thermal and overcurrent protection to stop explosions and overheating from happening.
