CR2330 equivalents
Upgrade or downgrade
Same size, different chemistry. Read the verdict before you buy.
| Cell | Chemistry | Voltage | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| BR2330 | — | — | 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 |
|---|---|---|
| CR2320 | 23 × 2 mm | Same 23 mm diameter, but 2 mm tall instead of 3 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR2325 | 23 × 2.5 mm | Same 23 mm diameter, but 2.5 mm tall instead of 3 mm. Only if the holder fits; thinner cells can lose contact. |
| CR2354 | 23 × 5.4 mm | Same 23 mm diameter, but 5.4 mm tall instead of 3 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.

LIR2330
Rechargeable Li-ion: 3.6-4.2 V and far less capacity; only for devices built for it.
