What type of battery goes into Casio G shock MTG900, Module 2638

The site shows a CTL 1616, but when I call about it they said it isn't a rechargeable battery. I thought the one in the watch now is a rechargeable battery. Would appreciate any help you can give me with finding a replacement battery.

CTL is the designation for a rechargeable secondary battery. The CR is a primary disposable battery and is a 3 volt cell. The CTL1616 while the same size as the CR1616 function completely differently and are not interchangeable. The CTL1616 is 2.3 volts and is recharged by solar or light or kinetic movement. The CR1616 is 3 volts is not rechargeable and will not function properly in a time piece designed for a 2.3 volt circuit. There is only one manufacturer of the CTL1616, Panasonic and they sell through Casio parts distribution.

The site shows the right one. To be 100% sure, you can take out original battery and read the writings- these will be exactly what you're looking for.
As these are 3 Volt Lithium batteries, they last quite a long time and I suggest that's why you thought they are rechargeable. Some of them can power up the watch up to 9 years (depending on watch movement).
When buying the new battery, do not mind the letters and manufacturers name- they may vary. Just make sure the brands name is familiar to you (SONY, CITIZEN, MAXELL, RENATA, CASIO, YAMAHA, etc) and the numbers are EXACTLY the same as on old battery, in this case 1616. Those numbers actually are the size of this particular battery: diameter 1.6 cm X height (thickness) 1.6 mm.
So, if you will get the wrong numbers, your battery will not fit in to the watch simply by size.
I hope this solves your question.

Do not forget to rate, please.

    THIS battery does NOT have a voltage of 3 V but 2.something! In this case, there are also the LETTERS CTL important - they indicate a special sort of Lithium battery.

    You are incorrect, CTL 1616 is a rechargeable cell and is NOT a 3 Volt Lithium battery.

    In fact a "single" cell can not be a battery at all, in that a battery, is more than one functioning together, as coined by Benjamin Franklin in his Leyden jar experiments.

Casio G Shock MTG-910DA 2638 Spring

You would have to make one. Why not look for the one you lost? Presumably you didn't do it outside sitting on the grass? Or return it to Casio for Service.

Mtg 900 comes up charge and says recover. What do i need to do? I tried charging it under a lamp for several hours but that does not last long.

I have a watch which is solar type and the instructions say that several hours of sunlight will charge the battery but lamps need much longer (1 -2 days!), my watch now is left in a drawer.

If you haven't got instructions for your watch, to check what Casio recommend, you can get them on the net.

Battery its ctl1616 they said NO NEED FOR BATTERY CHANGE but it's not true. How many year this battery last?

The CTL 1616 is a special device.
It's not really a battery, but a "capacitor", which means, that it's mainly supplied by the energy of the light. The capacitor is designed to maintain the functions only for (short) periods of darkness.
It's NOT a "standard lithium battery", because It has a different voltage (2.3 V instead of 3 V) and consists of different materials.
Unfortunately, the capacitor loses its ability to store the energy over the time. So your watch may be able to maintain all the functions for more than 11 months of darkness in the BEGINNING, but after a few years it may only last for a few hours!
However this may be STRONGLY influenced by the use of the functions: for example the automatic reception of radio signals or using a digital compass may strain the energy seriously.
So, the use of different functions may affect the lifetime of a CTL 1616.
I also recommend to expose the watch to (bright) light as often as possible in order to maintain a HIGH level of stored energy.
I also heared that there were serious problems with the quality of this type of capacitor a few years ago. Maybe a new CTL 1616 will last for decades.

My Casio MTG900 seems to be dead. How much is a battery and where can it be serviced near Los Angeles?

Thanks all! My G-Shock was only in need of charging in direct sunlight as opposed to indoor lighting.

Casio pro-trek PRG-60T Buttons no longer activate anything.

Send it into repairs and they will send you an estimate on what it would cost to fix it. Give them a call at 800-706-2534 option 2.
