1998-2000 LS400 specifies Remote Key Battery CR1616.
Panasonic CR1616 specifications:
16 mm diameter X 1.6 mm thick.
Nominal capacity is 55 mAh.
Panasonic CR1620 specifications:
16 mm diameter X 2.0 mm thick
Nominal capacity is 75 mAh.
So extra capacity with the CR1620.
Anyone attempted installation of .4mm thicker CR1620?
Thanks.
Panasonic CR1616 and CR1620 drawings attached.

Crazy coincidence, I got a package from amazon yesterday that had a pack of CR1620 I didn't order in it and Amazon told me to keep it. Wasn't sure what I was going to do with them. My key fob battery could use a change, so I'll give this a try this weekend. I've actually done something similar with my infiniti fobs, replacing a cr2025 with cr2032 for the extra capacity.
