CR-P2 battery
What replaces a CR-P2
223, 223A, CR17-33, DL223A, EL223AP, 5024LC
6 V lithium (primary), 35 × 19.5 × 36 mm

| CR17-33 | Yes — same cell |
| DL223A | Yes — same cell |
| EL223AP | Yes — same cell |
| 5024LC | Yes — same cell |
| K223LA | Yes — same cell |
| CRP2 | Yes — same cell |
| 6204 | Yes — same cell |
| BR-P2 | Yes — same cell |
Codes that look close but are not
| Code | Why it is not a substitute |
|---|---|
| 2CR5 | The other 6 V photo lithium, 34 × 17 × 45 mm with a different terminal layout. They are not interchangeable in either direction despite both being "6 V camera batteries". |
| Four AA cells | Four alkaline AAs also make 6 V, and adapter trays exist, but they cannot supply the flash-charging current a CR-P2 was chosen for. |
The CR-P2 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
- Film SLRs and medium format backs
- Automatic taps and hands-free flush valves
- Some Sloan and Toto sensor plumbing
- Older camera flash units
Common questions
- What is equivalent to a CR-P2?
- 223, 223A, CR17-33, DL223A, EL223AP, 5024LC, K223LA, CRP2, 6204, BR-P2 — all the same 6 V cell under different manufacturer codes.
- Can I use a 2CR5 instead of a CR-P2?
- The other 6 V photo lithium, 34 × 17 × 45 mm with a different terminal layout. They are not interchangeable in either direction despite both being "6 V camera batteries".
- Is the CR-P2 rechargeable?
- No. It is a primary cell — charging one risks rupture or fire. Rechargeable look-alikes exist in the same size under different codes.
