CR2025 vs CR2032 and CR2016
Batteries people mix up with the CR2025. Close, but not the same.
| Battery | Size, voltage | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| CR2025 | 20 × 2.5 mm3 V | This page. |
| CR2032 | 20 × 3.2 mm3 V | 0.7 mm thicker. It usually won't fit a CR2025 slot, and forcing it can bend the contacts. |
| CR2016 | 20 × 1.6 mm3 V | Thinner (1.6 mm) and holds less. It may work loosely, but expect it to drop out. |
Good to know
- DL2025 is Duracell's name, ECR2025 is Energizer's and 5003LC is the ANSI code.
- Common in car keys, slim remotes and fitness straps.
- 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.

Battery Inventory for iPhone and iPad
Never look up the CR2025 again.
Battery Inventory remembers which battery every device in your home takes, reminds you when one is due, and counts the spares in your drawer, so you buy the right cell before the old one dies. 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.
- Battery change reminders, free
- Monthly smoke and CO alarm test reminders
- A spares drawer and shopping list
- Cordless tool packs and chargers too
No account needed. Smoke and CO alarm features are reminders only: the app can't see or test your alarms.
