CR2016 vs CR2032 and CR2025
Batteries people mix up with the CR2016. Close, but not the same.
| Battery | Size, voltage | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| CR2016 | 20 × 1.6 mm3 V | This page. |
| CR2032 | 20 × 3.2 mm3 V | Twice as thick (3.2 mm). Two CR2016 are not a substitute for one CR2032: stacked they make 6 V. |
| CR2025 | 20 × 2.5 mm3 V | Thicker (2.5 mm). It won't fit most CR2016 holders. |
Good to know
- DL2016 is Duracell's name, ECR2016 is Energizer's and 5000LC is the ANSI code.
- Some devices take two CR2016 stacked, for 6 V. Put both back the same way round, and only where the device is built for it.
- Keep coin cells away from children. A swallowed coin cell can burn through the throat within hours, so treat it as an emergency and get help straight away.

The finder in the app knows every code on this page. Search any of them, or point the camera at a coin cell to read it.
