CR15H270 battery
What replaces a CR15H270
CR15H270, DLCR2, EL1CR2, 5046LC, KCR2, RLCR2
3 V lithium (primary), 15.6 × 27 mm (diameter × height)
The CR15H270 is a single-use 3 V lithium (primary) cylindrical. The codes below are the same physical cell sold under different manufacturer names, and any of them will fit.

Codes that mean the same battery
| Code | Fits? |
|---|---|
| CR15H270 | Yes — same cell |
| DLCR2 | Yes — same cell |
| EL1CR2 | Yes — same cell |
| 5046LC | Yes — same cell |
| KCR2 | Yes — same cell |
| RLCR2 | Yes — same cell |
| CR-2W | Yes — same cell |
Codes that look close but are not
| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
|---|---|
| 15270 / RCR2 | The rechargeable lithium-ion version at 3.7 V nominal. Higher voltage and about a third of the capacity. |
| CR123A | Larger in every dimension — 17 × 34.5 mm — and often confused because both are "3 V camera lithiums". |
The CR15H270 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
- Instant cameras and older compact film cameras
- Golf rangefinders
- Some Sylvania and Streamlight torches
- Wireless door and window sensors
Common questions
- What is equivalent to a CR15H270?
- CR15H270, DLCR2, EL1CR2, 5046LC, KCR2, RLCR2, CR-2W — all the same 3 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
- Can I use a 15270 / RCR2 instead of a CR15H270?
- The rechargeable lithium-ion version at 3.7 V nominal. Higher voltage and about a third of the capacity.
- Is the CR15H270 rechargeable?
- No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
