CR2025 Battery Equivalent
CR2025 is the same cell as 5003LC, DL2025 and ECR2025, so any of those codes will fit; no other cell here is 20 × 2.5 mm at 3 V.
- Chemistry
- lithium (Li-MnO2)
- Voltage

Similar size, check the fit
Same diameter, different thickness. These are not drop-in replacements.
| Cell | Size | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| CR2012 | 20 × 1.2 mm | Same 20 mm diameter, but 1.2 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR2016 | 20 × 1.6 mm | Same 20 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR2020 | 20 × 2 mm | Same 20 mm diameter, but 2 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR2032 | 20 × 3.2 mm | Same 20 mm diameter, but 3.2 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR2040 | 20 × 4 mm | Same 20 mm diameter, but 4 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR2050 | 20 × 5 mm | Same 20 mm diameter, but 5 mm tall instead of 2.5 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.
