6V lithium cell
CRP2P is a pack label for CRP2 — same battery, different name on the package.
Common questions
- What is a CRP2 battery?
- CRP2 — packs may say CR-P2, DL223A, EL223A / EL223AP, 223A, 5024LC or CR17-33 — is a 6-volt lithium photographic pack. Nikon N6000 and AF3 (One-Touch) on this site each take one CRP2 / DL223A. It is not a single CR2 cylinder and not a 2CR5 pack — see CRP2 vs CR2 vs 2CR5. BR-P2 is a rare different lithium subclass, not a pack rename.
- What do the letters in CRP2 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 CRP2 also called?
- CRP2 pack labels and aliases on this site include CR-P2, CRP2P, 2CR-P2, DL223A, DL223, EL223AP, PC223, 223. These are names for the same battery entity — not chemistry substitutes.
- Is CRP2 interchangeable with similar codes?
- Related codes are not automatic equivalents. See CRP2 vs CR2 vs 2CR5 — match the code your device names.
- What devices use a CRP2?
- Examples on this site: Nikon N6000; Nikon AF3. Always confirm on the device page.

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.
