CR1612 equivalents

Similar size, check the fit

Same diameter, different thickness. These are not drop-in replacements.

Cell Size Verdict
CR1616 16 × 1.6 mm Same 16 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 1.2 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
CR1620 16 × 2 mm Same 16 mm diameter, but 2 mm tall instead of 1.2 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
CR1632 16 × 3.2 mm Same 16 mm diameter, but 3.2 mm tall instead of 1.2 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.

Do not use

These are the same size or a similar code, and they are not equivalents.

  • LIR1612

    Rechargeable Li-ion: 3.6-4.2 V and far less capacity; only for devices built for it.
