I do not believe this is correct. Lithium cell batteries are not the same thing as lithium ion batteries. They are different technology. They both involve lithium, but that's about as far as the similarity goes. PC CMOS batteries do not recharge. Saturn batteries do not recharge. Neither do cartridge SRAM batteries. They simply lose charge very slowly because the draw on them is so low.

Here is a link which explains the difference. Not my preferred information source, but on very short notice it's what you get unless you want me to offer up something more authoritative.

Yeah, 2032s aren't rechargeable. No idea what Pakopako's going on about.
