It is NOT safe to use a non-rechargable battery where a rechargable is supposed to be. Your clock is not a battery-powered device that you plug for recharging (or remove batteries and insert them in a charger). Your clock CONSTANTLY trickle charges the internal clock backup battery. If you install a CR2032 in that device it will bulge, open up and leak chemicals causing permanent damage to your treasured item. The good news. A L(i)R2032 will probably hold the charge for hours and you won't loose time settings overnight. The timekeeping chip does not need lots of power to keep counting and the battery will be topped up quickly as soon as power is restored.
