Iow, what I was aiming at was to replace 2 thins (2016s) with TWO thicks (2025s or 2032s) and this would be a no-no (because of the size of the slot). What I thought I would be getting with the thicker ones was more BRIGHTNESS of the light (power), but each one of these buttons is 3V, so what we're saying here is that the THICKER ones "just" have more longevity NOT more power.

Yes, you'd be getting more endurance from the same voltage. krispos42 Mar 2012 #13

O.K., your last sentence clinched it for me, totally. Thanks. UTUSN Mar 2012 #14
