CR1616 Battery Equivalent
CR1616 is the same cell as DL1616 and ECR1616, so any of those codes will fit; no other cell here is 16 × 1.6 mm at 3 V.

CR1616 equivalents
Direct replacements
The same cell under another code. Any of these fits, whatever the brand.
- DL1616
- ECR1616
Similar size, check the fit
Same diameter, different thickness. These are not drop-in replacements.
| Cell | Size | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| CR1612 | 16 × 1.2 mm | Same 16 mm diameter, but 1.2 mm tall instead of 1.6 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 1.6 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 1.6 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.

LIR1616
Rechargeable Li-ion: 3.6-4.2 V and far less capacity; only for devices built for it.
