The CR2025 battery has several equivalents, and choosing the right replacement depends on size, voltage, and device compatibility. Below is a detailed guide on CR2025 equivalents, including direct replacements and possible alternatives.

Equivalent Batteries for CR2025

Battery Model	Type	Voltage	Diameter	Thickness	Capacity	Common Brand Names	Interchangeability
CR2025	Lithium Coin Cell	3V	20mm	2.5mm	~150mAh	Panasonic, Sony, Maxell, Energizer	Original battery
DL2025	Lithium Coin Cell	3V	20mm	2.5mm	~150mAh	Duracell (DL = Duracell Lithium)	Direct replacement
ECR2025	Lithium Coin Cell	3V	20mm	2.5mm	~150mAh	Energizer	Direct replacement
L2025	Lithium Coin Cell	3V	20mm	2.5mm	~150mAh	Various brands	Alternative name for CR2025
BR2025	Lithium Coin Cell	3V	20mm	2.5mm	~100-130mAh	Panasonic, Sony	Can replace CR2025, but lower capacity
CR2032	Lithium Coin Cell	3V	20mm	3.2mm	~210mAh	Panasonic, Sony, Maxell, Energizer	Can work if space allows (thicker)
CR2016	Lithium Coin Cell	3V	20mm	1.6mm	~90mAh	Various brands	Not recommended (thinner, lower capacity)

Understanding the Differences

1. Direct Replacements (Same Size & Voltage)

DL2025, ECR2025, and L2025 are different names for CR2025 used by brands like Duracell and Energizer. They are 100% interchangeable.
BR2025 is also the same size but has a lower capacity (~100-130mAh). It lasts longer in low-drain devices like clocks but drains faster in high-power devices.

2. Alternatives with Different Thickness

CR2032: Same voltage and diameter but thicker (3.2mm vs. 2.5mm). It has a higher capacity (~210mAh) and may work in some devices if the battery compartment allows extra thickness.
CR2016: Thinner (1.6mm vs. 2.5mm) with much lower capacity (~90mAh). Not recommended as it won’t last long or fit properly.

Which Battery Should You Choose?

If your device requires...	Best Replacement	Alternative (if available space)
CR2025	CR2025, DL2025, ECR2025, L2025	BR2025 (if lower capacity is acceptable)
Longer battery life	CR2032 (if thickness is not an issue)	N/A
A thinner battery	No direct replacement (consider CR2016 but not recommended)	N/A

Conclusion

Use DL2025, ECR2025, or L2025 for a direct replacement.
BR2025 can be used, but it has a lower capacity and is better for low-drain devices.
CR2032 has a higher capacity and lasts longer, but it is thicker and may not fit in all devices.
CR2016 is thinner and not a good replacement.

If you’re unsure, always check your device’s manual or battery compartment for compatibility.
