thanks.for filling in...

Also, I just googled, the issue I had in mind about the 2 letters not
mattering, and only the number mattering, was that there is a
lithium, round, 2032 battery made by duracell, but duracell instead of
calling it the proper technical abbreviation CR .. they use the brand
name DL(as in duracell) .. So, Duracell call theirs DL2032 instead of
CR2032.
