Default Lithium Ion vs NiMh battery

All of my speedos use 2032 cells. I used to just buy
a card of them and insert new ones. Then I realized
that they are Li-ion. Do these things charge up again?


No. The common CR2032 Lithium (not Lithium-Ion) cell is NOT
rechargeable. However, you can buy an ML2032 cell that is
rechargeable in a suitable charger.

Be careful when shopping. Some of the ML2032 cells for sale on eBay
are counterfeits or reworked CR2032. Real ML2032 cells are
considerably more expensive than CR2032. For example:

I bought some of these:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-Maxell-ML2032-Rechargeable-2032-3V-CMOS-Backup-Battery-/110860774466
which turned out to be genuine.

The chargers are quite cheap:

If you're going to make your own charger (such as a solar charger),
note that the ML2032 is rated at 2ma maximum charging current:
