Upgrade or downgrade
Same size, different chemistry. Read the verdict before you buy.
| Cell | Chemistry | Voltage | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| BR1632 | — | — | Same size, other lithium chemistry Usually works in low-drain devices like memory backup, scales and remotes. BR cells cope better with heat but give less pulse current, so CR is the safer pick for key fobs and LED devices. |
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 3.2 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 3.2 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 3.2 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.

LIR1632
Rechargeable Li-ion: 3.6-4.2 V and far less capacity; only for devices built for it.

CR1632 questions
- Is DL1632 the same as CR1632?
- Yes. DL1632 is another code for the same cell: lithium (Li-MnO2), 3 V, 16 × 3.2 mm.
- Is ECR1632 the same as CR1632?
- Yes. ECR1632 is another code for the same cell: lithium (Li-MnO2), 3 V, 16 × 3.2 mm.
- Can I use BR1632 instead of CR1632?
- Usually works in low-drain devices like memory backup, scales and remotes. BR cells cope better with heat but give less pulse current, so CR is the safer pick for key fobs and LED devices.
- Will CR1612 work in place of CR1632?
- Same 16 mm diameter, but 1.2 mm tall instead of 3.2 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
- Will CR1616 work in place of CR1632?
- Same 16 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 3.2 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
- Can I use LIR1632 instead of CR1632?
- No. Rechargeable Li-ion: 3.6-4.2 V and far less capacity; only for devices built for it.
