What is the negative side of a CR2032 battery?

CR2032 is a type of ‘button cell’, commonly referred to as ‘Lithium coin’. It is a tiny flat cylinder-shaped battery often used in portable and small devices. The upper part of the battery is usually an insulator which acts as the negative terminal, while the positive terminal is at the bottom, made up of metal.

Which side of battery goes on spring?

On most battery operated devices that use round cylindrical type batteries such as double AA, triple AAA, C, and D batteries, the negative end (flat end) of the battery goes on the spring and the positive end (side with a nub) goes to the positive end.
