Now, battery designations refer to their width and height, as all the button batteries are 3V (with a couple exception) A CR2354 is 23mm wide, and 5.4mm deep. If you can find at Bunnings for example a 23mm wide battery that is thinner, you CAN - in the short run - shim the battery with a conductor like copper sheet or even alfoil. You must make SURE the conductive shim is affixed PERMANENTLY to the centre of the battery NOT touching the outer rim or you will short circuit the battery - which is disastrous. I have done this previously. Available are 2320, 2325, 2330. You can even use a smaller diameter one too, but best to side shim that to stop movement.
