## Long description

Lenovo CR2016 FRU01AY996 is a coin cell real-time clock (RTC) battery intended to maintain motherboard timekeeping and BIOS settings when main power is removed. This CR2016-format lithium cell delivers low-drain, long-life backup power for laptops, embedded systems and other electronics that use a CR2016 battery for RTC backup. The battery is supplied as a single coin cell compatible with standard CR2016 battery holders on PCBs and motherboards.

Its compact coin form factor fits common motherboard battery holders and offers a predictable replacement option for devices originally designed for CR2016. The cell is supplied by Lenovo to match form, fit and electrical expectations for compatible devices.

How to use
Power down the device and disconnect mains or battery power before replacing the RTC battery.
