Darin, Seeing as I *was* part of the WyoLum crew back in the day, I asked Anool, the designer of the electronics of C3Jr about the battery situation....
"The C3jr doesn't have a charging circuit for LR2032. We never planned on using rechargeable version as the normal 2032's last for over 5 years anyway" So go ahead and use a CR2032.. :) I have a few of the clocks for sale if anyone is interested.. https://stocksclocks.com/index.php/wyolum-word-clocks/ The Chronogram is one of my favorites... mine has kept pretty good time for the last 10 years or so and also handles DST automatically...
