What is a CR1225 battery?

The CR1225 is a 3V lithium coin cell battery with a standard size of 12 mm in diameter and 2.5 mm in thickness. Because of its long-lasting power, stability, and shelf life, CR1225 batteries are used in a wide variety of small electronic devices such as watches, keyless entry remotes, blood glucose meters, and thermometers (including Vicks thermometers).

KECR1225

CR1225 vs. Other Batteries

CR1220 VS CR1225: Both batteries have the same diameter but different thicknesses, the CR1225 is 0.5mm thicker than the CR1220, Therefore, interchangeability is not recommended unless permitted by the device.

BR1225 VS CR1225: The two are the same size but have different chemical compositions. CR1225 uses lithium and manganese dioxide, while BR1225 uses lithium and barium fluoride, the latter of which performs better at low temperatures. The two are used interchangeably.

CR2032 VS CR1225: CR2032 is larger (20 mm diameter, 3.2 mm thickness), so it cannot be used as a replacement for CR1225.

CR2025 VS CR1225: Both are the same thickness (2.5 mm), but CR2025 is larger in diameter (20 mm), so they are not interchangeable.

CR1216 VS CR1225: The CR1216 is smaller in diameter and thickness than the CR1225 and therefore cannot replace the CR1225.

LR44 VS CR1225: The LR44 is a 1.5V alkaline battery while the CR1225 is a 3V lithium battery, The voltage difference makes it impossible for LR44 to replace CR1225.

How to find a suitable replacement CR1225 battery

1. Check the device manual or instruction manual to confirm the battery type.

2. Ensure that the size (12mm × 2.5mm) and voltage (3V) of the replacement battery are the same as the original battery.

3. If the replacement battery has poor contact, consider using a CR1225 battery holder to ensure stable contact.

4. Choose a well-known brand such as Duracell, Energizer or Panasonic to ensure the quality and stability of the battery.
