I mean what could possibly go wrong .....oh yes it has the mandatory Lithium battery inside labelling and therefore must be treated as highly hazardous cargo.  ::)
Gimme a break.

That's why the make that Gorilla glue and Gorilla tape, to keep them in place.

Doesn't work. Somehow the gorillas always escape and proceed to wreak their havoc :(

not a fan of my gear going u.s. by way of the "sticky rubber feel"  :palm: - A Bose volume control to a computer speaker kit went that way a while ago.

And I've just noticed my two Zoom hand recorders (H4n and H5) have gone sticky too.

..so they look like they turned out to be overpriced  :palm:

It is a frigging coin cell... you couldn't even start a fire with one if you tried to. Hit it with a hammer nothing happens.Short the terminals with a thin filament of wire, the voltage drops to 0 because the internal resistance is huge.

I've had CR2430's pop and burn up causing smoke, no idea how hot they got as I wasn't around when it happened. Very rare (1 in 10,000) but happens.
You can see a photo here where the plastic was burned: https://www.reddit.com/r/batteries/comments/eoe60o/cr2032_exploded_in_our_junk_drawer_any/

The trick is to shop around.
I wanted some AD9201 analogue to digital converters.
They were £15+VAT each in UK.
Got some off Ali Express for about £1-50 each and they worked fine.

However you have to be wary of quality of goods not from reputable dealers.
