Description
The CRP2 is a 6V lithium cell built as one squat rectangular block with both terminals on the top face, and this listing supplies a single cell in a blister pack. Panasonic marks the cell CR-P2 and 2CP4306, while the pack front reads CRP2 and Lithium Power, so a manual quoting any of those codes is asking for this same battery. Lithium holds its voltage close to nominal through most of its working life rather than tailing off gradually, which is what equipment with a low voltage cut-out needs. It is a primary cell: used once, then replaced.
The pack is marked Photo Power and carries a camera icon, so photographic kit is the use Panasonic points it at. If you are replacing a cell in an older camera, take the spent one out and compare the printed code and the terminal layout before ordering, because a device running two 3V CR123 cells is a different fitting even though the total voltage matches. The same caution applies to anything else built around a 6V lithium block, whether a sensor, a meter or a piece of access control: match the code, not just the voltage. With one cell per blister, buying a spare to keep with the kit is straightforward.
Sold as one cell, so nothing in the pack needs splitting; the minimum order is 10 units, in multiples of 10, which suits a shop, a studio or a maintenance stock rather than a one-off purchase. The manufacturer does not print a shelf life figure in years, so we quote none, and the cells keep best unopened and at room temperature. It sits alongside our other Panasonic lithium cells, including CR123, CR2 and the CR2032 coin cells, if you keep more than one format on hand.

Frequently Asked
Is CRP2P the same cell as CR-P2?
Yes. CRP2P is how the cell is listed to the trade, CR-P2 and 2CP4306 are the codes printed on the cell itself, and all three name this one 6V lithium format.
How many batteries do I get, and is there a minimum order?
Each unit is a single cell in its own blister. The minimum order is 10 units, bought in multiples of 10, so the smallest purchase is 10 cells.
Can this cell be recharged?
No. It is a primary lithium cell, which means it is designed to be used once and then replaced rather than put on a charger.
Will two CR123 cells do the same job?
Not usually. Two 3V CR123 cells add up to 6V, but the CRP2 is one body with a fixed terminal layout, so the battery compartment has to suit it.
Does the manufacturer state a shelf life?
No figure in years is printed.
