CR2032 and LIR2032 fit the same case but are not electrically interchangeable

CR2032 is rated at 3 V and LIR2032 at 3.6 V. Matching dimensions do not make cells with materially different nominal voltages safe replacements.

Use the exact voltage and battery system specified by the device manufacturer.
