The CR2325 is a 3 volt lithium coin cell measuring 23 mm across and 2.5 mm thick, with about 190 mAh. Renata keeps this size in mainstream production, and it turns up in ski pass transponders, instrument backup circuits and older imported electronics.

BR2325: Wide-temperature carbon-monofluoride version of the same size.
Buying and replacement notes
This is the most available of the 23 mm lithium cells, largely thanks to Renata. It offers CR2032-class capacity in a wider, thinner package. Nothing in the common 20 mm family substitutes for it, and the 24.5 mm CR2430 is too wide, so order the exact size when a device calls for it.
⚠️ Keep away from children. Swallowed button batteries, especially 20 mm lithium coins, cause severe injury within hours. If a child swallows one, call the 24/7 National Battery Ingestion Hotline (US) at 800-498-8666 or poison control at 800-222-1222 immediately. What every parent should know.
Frequently asked questions
What battery can replace a CR2325?
Another CR2325, or the BR2325 where temperature extremes matter. The CR2320 fits some of the same holders with less capacity. Despite similar names and capacity, the CR2032 (20 mm) and CR2430 (24.5 mm) do not fit a 23 mm holder correctly.
Who still makes the CR2325?
Renata is the principal brand, with Panasonic stock also circulating. It remains a standard item at watch-parts and electronics distributors even though supermarkets rarely carry it. Check date codes when buying, as some retail stock sits for years.
How long does a CR2325 last?
In memory backup, five years or more; in a transponder card, several seasons of regular use. Its 190 mAh and lithium chemistry's tiny self-discharge mean shelf life, not usage, often determines when replacement is due in low-drain roles.
