Codes that mean the same battery
| Code | Fits? |
|---|---|
| 245 | Yes — same cell |
| DL245 | Yes — same cell |
| EL2CR5 | Yes — same cell |
| 5032LC | Yes — same cell |
| KL2CR5 | Yes — same cell |
| RL2CR5 | Yes — same cell |
| 2CR5M | Yes — same cell |
| EL2CR5BP | Yes — same cell |
Codes that look close but are not
| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
|---|---|
| CR-P2 | The other 6 V photo lithium. Different shape, different terminals; neither fits the other's compartment. |
The 2CR5 is a primary cell and must never be put in a charger. Charging a sealed primary battery builds gas pressure inside a can with no vent designed for it, which is how they rupture or catch fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist for several sizes and carry different codes — check the code, not the shape.
Where it turns up
- Canon EOS and Nikon film SLR bodies
- Automatic taps and sensor urinals
- Some industrial data loggers
- Older camera motor drives
Common questions
- What is equivalent to a 2CR5?
- 245, DL245, EL2CR5, 5032LC, KL2CR5, RL2CR5, 2CR5M, EL2CR5BP — all the same 6 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
- Can I use a CR-P2 instead of a 2CR5?
- The other 6 V photo lithium. Different shape, different terminals; neither fits the other's compartment.
- Is the 2CR5 rechargeable?
- No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
