Battery for LM4F232H5QD

Bob Murphy
Prodigy 60 points

My guess someone screwed up in the Bom when they designed the Hibernate battery holder. I notice the part number for that holder is also wrong from Digi Key. The documentation says it takes a CR2032 3v Lithium. That battery is 2cm in diameter. The holder will only take about an 11mm diameter battery. Has anyone found a battery that will fit the holder. I don't want to add a 2032 holder because the board has little room for it. I prefer finding a battery that will fit the existing holder. Surely others have noted this. Thanks for any help on this.

    "Murphy's Law" - especially apt - this case...  (pardon)  Suspect that the larger battery distys would be your best bet - but do weigh your "gain" of short-term convenience against the serious reduction in (smaller/lesser) battery's service life...  Size does indeed - count - in battery energy delivery...

    Further - "beware" any, "not quite for Gov't work" replacement battery "socketing issues."  We once chose, "off-brand" (similar availability issue) and paid dearly when the slightest shock/vibration would "break" the battery contact/connection.  Short-term gain often has long lasting consequence...
