Commonly confused with

CR13NCR123A

Not a substitute

Different size family — CR1/3N is not CR123A

CR13NLR44

Not a substitute

One CR1/3N can replace two LR44 only when a device manual lists both (e.g. Minolta X-700) — not a general drop-in

CR13NSR44

Not a substitute

One CR1/3N can replace two SR44 only when the device manual lists the lithium option

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 CR13N — not generic advice.

Keep button cells away from children.
Do not use 1.35V mercury MR44 / PX625-class cells; the manual forbids mercury lookalikes.

Notes

3V lithium cell roughly the height of two LR44/SR44 stacked. Common alternative in Minolta X-700 / Nikon FM-class manuals. Trade label often written CR1/3N. Not a CR123A.
