There is. But usually not on the sales package, you'll have to go to the mfg's web site. Their capacity depends on the load and they usually present several discharge curves as examples.

Great, this bit of info could come handy.

They don't make this stuff easy to find, so here is the relevant section for Duracell MN:
Retail cost of a CR2032 is closer to $0.20:
You can sometimes get them for less on eBay.
If you buy in bulk it's more like $0.15:

I hope they poured him a nice cup of coffee, ahm, Java. At least there we have choices. When it comes to stuff like pool equipment you usually don't. I just replaced the leaf bag on our pool sweep which cost a whopping $32 or so. Days later the hose broke. Which, of course, is a custom piece again. Talking about profit margins I guess we are all in the wrong business.
A couple hours ago I talked with a guy who spent $7 for a single replacement button cell to power a $19 instrument. There are some very high prices for convenience out there.
Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

Talking about profit margins, I've been seriously considering making a little pill mold and getting some blue-green powdered sugar and selling counterfeit Viagra. ;-)
For one thing, it'd be interesting to see the potential placebo effect, and for the other, who are they going to complain to about black market viagra if it doesn't work? ;-)

I've got one of those -- it's a desktop calculator with "big buttons". It takes batteries. It runs exclusively on those batteries, they are not a backup. The front of the calculator has a graphic representation of a solar cell printed on it (4-5 brown squares with gold bits between). It's just a picture, it's not electrically functional. It also has a little "sun" icon on the box, and claims solar power.
Too cheap to be bothered returning it as "not as described" or "unfit for intended purpose". It worked, solar wasn't really a requirement, and it just struck me as a rather dumb thing to do.
Have you not seen the "non-functional" shake-to-power torches? Real ones have a rare-earth supermagnet, coil, rectifier, capacitor etc. Fake ones have a piece of shiny metal bar ("magnet") a coil of wire (not connected), and a non replaceable battery ("capacitor"). Crazy ...
I've read about them; I was surprised that building a fake is actually cheaper than buildling the real things!

Plastics is made of hydrocarbon and that was alife a long time ago. Powered and grown by sun. So it "was" sun-powered or simply solar ;-)
