Coin cell battery size chart

Every CR coin cell is 3 V. The code is the size: the first two digits are the diameter in mm and the last two the thickness in tenths of a mm, so a CR2032 is 20 mm × 3.2 mm. Cells of the same diameter fit the same holder, but only the right thickness makes good contact.

BR cells (for example BR2032) have the same sizes but a different lithium chemistry that handles heat better and delivers less current; use them only where the device allows. LIR / ML cells are rechargeable versions with different voltage: see LIR2032.
