Difference between BM42 and BM45?

I am currently using the Redmi Note, and is planning to get a new phone soon, but can't decide to get the Redmi Note 2 or Redmi Note 3.

Since I currently have 3 original BM42 batteries for my Redmi Note, I am thinking to get the Redmi Note 2 if these batteries work for this phone. After some research I know that the Redmi Note 2 uses the BM45 battery, and not the BM42. But images of these two battery look almost identical to me, even the specs look almost the same.

Does anyone know if the BM42 battery can be used for Redmi Note 2 as well? I hate waiting for my phone to charge whilst connected by a wire so even though Redmi Note 3 looks better, the fact that it does not have a removable battery is a negative point to me...

I have both phones. No, they are of different sizes and thus cannot be used interchangeably.
