aw, crap! I forgot to replace my CR2025 batteries with CR2026s.

Is anything bad going to happen?

@mwl you should be good for now, but I heard there’s important timing re: the CR2038s

@ckure

In that case, you just fall back to using CR1970 batteries…

@rootwyrm Indeed.

@mwl Replace them with 2032 and you will have peace for a few years. YMMV ;)

@mwl i think your alternator is a goner...

@mwl Yes. Very yes.

But not because of the batteries.

@mwl you may be charged with battery

@mwl You do understand that CR2026 are simply 0,1 mm thicker than CR2025s, do you? 🤣

Your MOMMA is 0,1mm thicker.

@mwl Check that 1/10th of a millimeters with a steel caliper and something bad will definitely happen...

(Disclaimer, where needed: this is a joke, DO NOT do that, since the battery could overheat and explode)

@mwl If you hold out a bit, 2032s are plentiful and easy to find.

@mwl if you use lipo cells they have this feature where they automatically get thicker over time
Show threadwfkFeb 20
@mwl no worries. Just don't ever switch to CR2038s.

@mwl Have you noticed how thin these batteries were in 2016? Not everything is getting smaller.
