Button Battery
All batteries contain substances harmful to the environment and must be disposed of conscientiously.
Button batteries are a small single cell battery shaped as a squat cylinder typically 5 to 12mm in diameter and 1 to 6mm high. They are generally used to power small portable electronic devices such as wrist watches, calculators and hearing aids.
