What is a CR2430 battery?

CR2430 is a 3-volt lithium coin cell about 24.5 mm across and 3.0 mm thick (ANSI 5011LC; packs may say DL2430 / ECR2430). Polar’s s3+ stride sensor names CR2430. Same diameter class as CR2450 and CR2477 but thinner — see CR2450 vs CR2430 vs CR2477. BR2430 is a different lithium subclass — not a pack label for CR2430. Not a drop-in for CR2450 or for smaller CR2032 trays.

What do the letters in CR2430 mean?

Under the IEC naming system, C is the assigned code for lithium–manganese dioxide — not taken from the spelling of those chemicals — and R means round (coin or button). The numbers encode size. Same diameter with a different first letter is a different battery. Full guide: CR vs LR vs SR.

What is CR2430 also called?

CR2430 pack labels and aliases on this site include DL2430, ECR2430, 5011LC, KCR2430, KECR2430, 2430, GPCR2430. These are names for the same battery entity — not chemistry substitutes.

Not a substitute

Same diameter; height differs

CR2430CR2477

Not a substitute

Same diameter class (~24.5 mm); height/capacity differ (3.0 vs 7.7 mm)

Rechargeables are not equivalents

Rechargeable coin cells (LIR, ML, VL, CTL and similar) are not drop-in replacements for disposable CR cells — voltage and charging requirements differ. Same size does not mean the same battery.

Device-specific caveats

From manufacturer-backed notes on devices that use CR2430 — not generic advice.

Keep coin cells away from children.
Sensor must be taught/paired to the Polar training computer after battery work if previously unpaired.
