Manufacturer description

Bring a dead BIOS clock back to life with the EEMB 10-Pack CMOS Battery. Each CR2032 3V lithium coin cell comes pre-wired with a 2-pin, 2-wire lead and a Molex connector (model CR2032-MX51021). That means no soldering: you unplug the old cell and plug in the new one. Each cell is rated at 240mAh and measures 20.5mm in diameter and 6.5mm tall. EEMB lists fitment for Alienware M11x R1/R2, M14x, M17x and M18x R2. It also lists Dell Latitude E6520, E6420, E6320, E5530 and E6430, plus Lenovo ThinkPad T40, T410, T420 and T420s motherboards. With ten cells in the box, you can service a whole shelf…

SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored EEMB 10-Pack CMOS Battery CR2032 3V Lithium Battery using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the tools & maintenance category. EEMB's tools & maintenance lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here. Judge it on the specification table and the price rather than on sentiment: check the figures that decide your use case, then put it side-by-side with two or three close alternatives in the Compare tool before clicking through.

Common buyer scenarios for tools & maintenance: PC towers accumulate significant dust in 3–6 months, so cleaning frequency drives cordless vs. canned-air tradeoff decisions. Match the device's RPM or CFM rating to your case size, and confirm battery runtime covers a full tower cleaning before ordering. Prices and stock are set by the retailer and may have moved since this page was last updated.
