CR2477 battery

What replaces a CR2477
DL2477, ECR2477, BR2477A, CR2477N
3 V lithium (primary), 24.5 × 7.7 mm (diameter × height)

The CR2477 is a single-use 3 V lithium (primary) coin cell. 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

Different manufacturers, one physical battery. Voltage, chemistry and dimensions all match.
Code Fits?
DL2477 Yes — same cell
ECR2477 Yes — same cell
BR2477A Yes — same cell
CR2477N Yes — same cell

Codes that look close but are not

Code Why it is not a substitute
CR2450 Same diameter, 2.7 mm shorter. It will drop into a CR2477 holder without reaching the top contact.

The CR2477 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

  • Long-life asset and cargo trackers
  • Industrial sensors and data loggers
  • Utility and gas meter memory backup
  • Some cochlear implant remote controls

The largest common lithium coin cell. Rated capacity spans roughly 950–1000 mAh across Panasonic, Renata and Murata to a 2.0 V cut-off.

Common questions

What is equivalent to a CR2477?
DL2477, ECR2477, BR2477A, CR2477N — all the same 3 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
Can I use a CR2450 instead of a CR2477?
Same diameter, 2.7 mm shorter. It will drop into a CR2477 holder without reaching the top contact.
Is the CR2477 rechargeable?
No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
