Reliable power for your optics

Plenty of airsoft red dot sights, scopes and rangefinders run on the CR2 lithium cell rather than the more common coin cell. This genuine Panasonic CR2 delivers a steady 3V and 850mAh of capacity, so your optic stays bright and your electronics keep working right through the game.

Panasonic quality

Unbranded batteries can under-deliver on capacity and die without warning. Panasonic’s lithium manganese dioxide cell gives you the consistent output and long shelf life the brand is trusted for, which matters when a dead battery means a dark reticle mid-firefight.

Built for the field

Rated from -40C to +70C, it holds voltage in the cold where lesser cells sag, making it a dependable choice for winter skirmishing and milsim weekends.

Wide compatibility

Beyond airsoft optics, the CR2 also powers torches, cameras and other compact devices, so it is a handy cell to keep spares of. Find it alongside more gear in our airsoft accessories range.

Handling note

This is a non-rechargeable primary cell. Store it in a dry place, keep a spare in your kit, and recycle it responsibly once it is flat.

Frequently asked questions

What does a CR2 battery power?

The CR2 is common in airsoft red dot sights and scopes, plus torches, rangefinders and compact cameras. If your optic takes a CR2 rather than a CR2032 coin cell, this is the one you need.

Can I recharge it?

No. The Panasonic CR2 is a primary lithium cell, so it is single use. Do not attempt to recharge it. Dispose of it responsibly at a battery recycling point when it is flat.

What is the capacity and voltage?

It is a 3V cell with an 850mAh nominal capacity, using lithium manganese dioxide chemistry for stable output and a long shelf life when stored correctly.

Will it work in cold weather?

Yes. Panasonic rates it from -40C to +70C, so it holds up well through a cold winter skirmish day where some cheaper cells fade.

Is it genuine Panasonic?

Yes, this is a genuine Panasonic CR2, so you get consistent capacity and the reliability the brand is known for rather than an unbranded cell of unknown quality.
