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
3 V
Size (Ø × H)
20 × 2.5 mm
Typical capacity
160–165 mAh

CR2025 at actual relative size: 20 mm across, 2.5 mm thick. The dashed circle is a US quarter, 24.26 mm across (US Mint coin specifications).

CR2025 equivalents

Direct replacements

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

  • 5003LC
  • DL2025
  • ECR2025

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.

  • LIR2025

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