CR1225 drawn to scale: 12.5 mm across and 2.5 mm thick, beside a US quarter at 24.26 mm across. US quarter Ø 12.5 mm 2.5 mm thick
CR1225 at actual relative size: 12.5 mm across, 2.5 mm thick. The dashed circle is a US quarter, 24.26 mm across (US Mint coin specifications).

CR1225 equivalents

Direct replacements

The same cell under another code. Any of these fits, whatever the brand.

  • 5020LC

Similar size, check the fit

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

Cell Size Verdict
CR1216 12.5 × 1.6 mm Same 12.5 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
CR1220 12.5 × 2 mm Same 12.5 mm diameter, but 2 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.

  • LIR1225

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

About the CR1225 cell

Maximum discharge current: 1 mA. Maximum pulse discharge current: 5 mA.

CR1225 questions

Is 5020LC the same as CR1225?
Yes. 5020LC is another code for the same cell: lithium (Li-MnO2), 3 V, 12.5 × 2.5 mm.
Will CR1216 work in place of CR1225?
Same 12.5 mm diameter, but 1.6 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
Will CR1220 work in place of CR1225?
Same 12.5 mm diameter, but 2 mm tall instead of 2.5 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact.
Can I use LIR1225 instead of CR1225?
No. Rechargeable Li-ion: 3.6-4.2 V and far less capacity; only for devices built for it.
