FWIW, CR2032s (20mm dia, 3.2mm thk) have a rated open-circuit (i.e., no load) voltage of 3.6, and a rated load voltage of 3.0. The CMOS function of Macs and PeeCees doesn't place a very significant load on these cells (of whatever type), and lifetimes in years or even decades are not unusual. For severe service, such as in desert or arctic areas, a BR2032 is available. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
