6 V · 6 V lithium manganese dioxide pack
CR-P2 is a 6 V lithium/manganese dioxide pack. Energizer sells it as 223 (EL223). The sheet prints ANSI-5024LC, IEC-CR-P2, 1500 mAh to 4.0 V on 200 Ω at 21°C. Note the cutoff: 4.0 V, not the 2.0 V cutoff on the 2CR5 sheet, so the two '1500 mAh' ratings are not the same test. The guide's other labels are RL223A, CRP2P and K223LA.

Can I substitute it?
Not a 2CR5. Both are 6 V lithium packs rated 1500 mAh on Energizer's sheets, to different cutoffs, in different cans.
Size check at real size
Lay the old cell on the outline. This shows the top outline and the front outline at 1:1 once the screen is calibrated.
CR-P2 outline, envelope maximums. Not a photograph, drawn from the figures above.
Calibrate this screen
Screens scale pages differently, so true size is only true after calibration. Hold a bank card or ID card (85.60 mm wide, ISO/IEC 7810 ID-1) against the bar and slide until the bar is exactly as wide as the card.

Small lithium cylinders and camera packs
CR123A, CR2, CR-P2 and 2CR5 are lithium/manganese dioxide, the same chemistry as a CR coin, in a different can. Energizer 123 is the CR123A type: the sheet prints IEC-CR17345, ANSI-5018LC, nominal 3.0 V, and 1500 mAh to 2.0 V on 100 Ω at 21°C. The drawing's maximums include 17.00 mm and 34.50 mm. It is a single 3 V cell. It is not an AA, and it is not the 12 V A23, which is a stack of alkaline button cells in a thinner tube.
CR-P2 (Energizer 223) and 2CR5 are 6 V packs used in cameras and some fobs. Each Energizer sheet rates 1500 mAh. The cutoff on the CR-P2 sheet is 4.0 V; on the 2CR5 sheet it is 2.0 V. Same milliamp-hour headline, different test. The cans are prismatic. A diameter-and-height search does not apply, and the pages say so.
CR2 is on Energizer's replacement guide (cell size 1CR2, labels CR2, RLCR2, KCR2, photo and connected-home devices). A product datasheet for it was not available at the URLs we tried, so voltage, capacity and millimetres are left blank rather than filled in from memory.
