Difference between the 2016 and 2032 button batteries?

I have a set of 3V CR2032 and 3V CR2016 batteries. I notice the 2016
are thinner, but they have the same voltage. As a newbie, what is the
major difference between the two?

Thickness (3.2 mm versus 1.6 mm) and energy capacity (225
milliampere hour versus 90 milliampere hour).

So, the 2032 hold their charge longer, right?

On the shelf, maybe, maybe not. With a given current drain
rate, yes. For instance if their load drains 10 micro
amperes, the 2032 will last about 2 and a half years, while
the 2016 will last about a year.

The thickness; 3.2mm VS 1.6mm.

Not necessarily.
Dependent on thermal history.
Hallmark once used to make greeting cards that played music when
opened; used a dinky ASIC, a piezoelectric sounder, and a lithium battery.
Most of them arrived at stores DOA because Hallmark, in their
stupidity treated these greeting cards exactly like all other greeting
cards: they went into hot warehouses for later distribution.

They have different energy capacities, just like the difference
between AA, AAA, C and D cells (which are all 1.5V nominal).
The CR2032 will be able to deliver a given amount of power for a
longer period of time than the CR2032.

It's like the petrol tank in a car. The engine will use the same
amount of petrol (power into a load) regardless of the size of the
tank, but a bigger tank (greater energy capacity) will get you further
than a smaller tank.

actually,lithium cells have a long shelf life,and a wide temp range.

The type number of lithium coin cells indicates their size
The first 2 digits are diameter in mm, the second 2 the thickness in units of 0.1mm.
Capacity is rougly proportional to volume.

They probably used a super-cheap alkaline battery (I'd guess maybe 1
cent each) rather than spend an order of magnitude more for a Li cell.
