Comparison

CR2032 vs CR2025

Same 20 mm diameter and 3V lithium chemistry — CR2032 is thicker (3.2 mm) than CR2025 (2.5 mm). Not interchangeable.

What is the same

Both are 3-volt lithium coin cells about 20 mm across. Pack labels such as DL2032 / ECR2032 or DL2025 / ECR2025 are brand names for the same IEC size — not a different battery.

What is different

Thickness: CR2032 is about 3.2 mm; CR2025 is about 2.5 mm. A thinner cell can sit loose or lose contact; a thicker cell may not fit the tray or can stress the cover.

Capacity and runtime also differ because of the volume difference — do not assume “close enough” from looking at the face of the cell.

Examples on this site

Apple AirTag specifies CR2032. Polar H10 / H9 specify CR2025. Match the code named on the device page — not a random coin cell from a drawer.
