In principle you can go down to 0v if the OS or a 3rd party app sets
the time correctly on bootup - if its in an online pc.

IRL batteries decline in output relatively quickly near end of life,
so its not normally worth trying to squeeze every drop out. If you're
willing to gamble on it working ok and on leaking & corrosion, you can
leave it till it dies. CR2032s are more leak resistant than ZnC etc.

Uh, 1.1V?  From your own experiment?

Hi,

I am using the RTC DS1337 with a CR2032 battery. I know that when
these battery shows 2.7v, it needs replacing, Although the RTC can go
down to 1.4V from the spec sheet. I even powered it through my power
supply at 1.1V and it was keeping time correctly. I am only power the
RTC from the battery. My question is : How low of a voltage can I go
before replacing in a real life situation ?
