Setup and Installation
- Prepare Your PCB: Ensure your Printed Circuit Board (PCB) has appropriate holes for the 2 pins of the battery holder. The pin spacing is standard for this type of component.
- Position the Holder: Align the battery holder's pins with the corresponding holes on your PCB. Ensure the orientation is correct for your circuit design.
- Solder the Pins: Carefully solder the two pins of the battery holder to the PCB. Use appropriate soldering techniques to ensure a strong mechanical and electrical connection. Avoid excessive heat to prevent damage to the plastic holder.
- Insert the Battery:
- Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals on your CR2032 or CR2025 coin cell battery.
- Locate the corresponding markings or design on the battery holder. Typically, the positive terminal of the battery faces upwards, towards the open side of the holder.
- Gently slide the battery into the holder, ensuring it snaps securely into place. Do not force the battery, as this may damage the holder or the battery itself.
- Verify Connection: After installation, verify that the battery is firmly seated and that the circuit receives power as expected.

Operating Instructions
Once installed and a compatible battery (CR2032 or CR2025) is inserted, the battery holder functions as a power source for your electronic circuit. No further operational steps are required for the holder itself. Ensure the battery is correctly oriented with the positive (+) terminal facing up for proper functionality.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Keep the battery holders clean and free from dust or debris. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store unused battery holders in the provided plastic box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect installed holders for any signs of damage, corrosion on contacts, or loose connections.
- Battery Replacement: When replacing batteries, ensure the circuit is powered off if possible. Gently remove the old battery and insert the new one, observing polarity.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Power to Circuit | Battery incorrectly inserted (wrong polarity). Battery is depleted. Poor solder connection to PCB. Corroded battery contacts. | Re-insert battery with correct polarity (+ up). Replace battery with a new one. Inspect and re-solder connections. Clean contacts with a non-abrasive material. |
| Battery Loose in Holder | Incorrect battery size (not CR2032/CR2025). Holder damaged. | Ensure correct battery type is used. Replace the damaged holder. |
| Difficulty Inserting/Removing Battery | Battery inserted at an incorrect angle. Holder contacts bent. | Ensure battery is aligned correctly before pushing. Carefully adjust contacts if slightly bent, or replace holder if severely damaged. |
