Overall envelope is not a verified terminal layout or fit.
The type status describes documentary checks of core specifications, not every fact or suitability for a device.
Understanding 2CR5 before replacement
Documented battery characteristics
2CR5: Lithium / manganese dioxide, 6 V, 34 × 17 × 45 mm. These are reference battery dimensions, not a verified device fit. Cell and battery pack shapes, contact layout and charging requirements can differ.
This is a primary battery; never attempt to recharge it.

These markings resolve to this type in documented sources. The exact variant and device requirements still matter.
Conditional replacement: review requirements
No conditional cross-type relation is recorded.
Known obstacles to direct replacement
No explicit obstacle is recorded here; that is not evidence of compatibility.
Other type pairs without a recorded assessment
This pair has not been assessed. No compatibility conclusion is available.
No automatic replacement recommendation. Device compatibility has not been verified. Dimensions alone do not prove that a battery fits or works.
Documentary limits
2CR5: This package is not a conventional circular cell. Interpret the reference dimensions as length, width and height. Published technical records: Panasonic CR cylindrical group; GP 34 × 17 × 45 mm (L×W×H). Device-level compatibility must be verified separately.

Common questions
What size is 2CR5?
34 × 17 × 45 mm (L×W×H)
Can 2CR5 be recharged?
No. Do not charge primary cells.
Can 2CR5 replace another battery?
Not on the basis of size or matching names alone. Check the exact device requirements and the directed compatibility notes. This catalogue does not contain a guaranteed device-fit recommendation for 2CR5.
