CR1620 Battery Equivalent
CR1620 is the same cell as 5009LC, DL1620 and ECR1620, so any of those codes will fit; no other cell here is 16 × 2 mm at 3 V.

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 2 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR1616 | 16 × 1.6 mm | Same 16 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 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 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.
