When you consider that disposable lithium cells contain much more lithium than rechargeable ones, it doesn't really seem logical to keep using disposable cells for many applications.
This also addresses the myth that rechargeable lithium batteries are dangerous because of the amount of lithium in them. It's actually the huge amount of energy they store and the flammable electrolyte that makes them dangerous. But only when charged. If you are discarding a product that contains a rechargeable lithium cell, try and ensure it is fully discharged before disposing of it.
As a rough rule of thumb, the lithium content of a rechargeable cell in grams is about 0.3 times the Ah capacity. So a 1000mAh cell (1Ah) contains about 0.3g of lithium.
The CR2032 has a power storage of 0.6Wh (200mAh x 3V). The lithium cell I chose also had a power capacity of 0.6Wh, but calculated at 3.6V (166mAh)
That wasn't actually lithium on my bench. It was calibrated solder blobs.

"thiz is your brain – 0.1g
thiz is your brain on drogs – 0.05g"
But doesn't an LIR2032 have the same capacity as a CR2032?
You are so quiet! But thank you for the short 🙂
CR2032s are a relic.
Yes solder balls
At what usage does rechargeable double and triple A batteries come to the same cost as disposables?
I never knew that. Thank you!
Hmmmm..👍
However, the rechargeable does not fit in my smart tag. Also the rechargeable is polymer? Lipo? Guessing the lithium is cheaper than the lipo manufacturing process.
But whyyyyyyyy?
Not sure if this is a joke video or you have misused the term factoid
Note! “Factoid” means a false statement.
