Need a coin cell battery in Singapore and not sure where to get the right one? Coin cells are easy to find in common sizes but surprisingly fiddly once you need something beyond a CR2032, or once you want more than one or two without paying convenience-store prices. Here is a practical guide to buying them locally.
Where coin cells are sold in Singapore
- Supermarkets and pharmacies: handy for a single CR2032 or CR2025, but the range rarely goes beyond the most common sizes and the per-cell price is the highest you will pay.
- Electronics and hardware shops: better for less common sizes like CR2430 or CR2450, though stock varies by outlet and a trip across town for one battery adds up.
- Online stores and marketplaces: the widest range and the best price per cell, especially for multipacks, with the trade-off that you wait for delivery rather than walking out with it.
Which size do you actually need?
Coin cell codes are dimensions: the first two digits are the diameter in millimetres, the last two the thickness in tenths of a millimetre. The everyday sizes in Singapore homes are:
- CR2032 (20 x 3.2mm): the most common by far, used in car key fobs, PC motherboards, scales and remotes
- CR2025 and CR2016 (20mm, thinner): slimmer devices and some key fobs
- CR2430 and CR2450 (24.5mm): car keys, medical devices and sensors that need more capacity
- CR2477 (24.5 x 7.7mm): high-capacity cell for long-life sensors and trackers
If you are unsure, our coin cell battery guide walks through matching the code to your device, and our CR2032 equivalents guide covers which sizes can substitute for one another.
What to check before you buy
- Genuine cells: stick to known brands like Panasonic, Energizer, Renata and Toshiba for reliable, full-capacity power.
- Freshness: lithium coin cells last years in storage, but check you are buying recent stock rather than something that has sat near its expiry.
- The right quantity: if you replace coin cells often, a multipack costs far less per cell than buying singles.
