*C SIZE BATTERY*

*R14 BATTERY*

.

-the [c battery] is a ‘standard size’ of ‘dry cell battery’ typically used in ‘medium-drain applications’ such as [‘toys’ / ‘flash-lights’ / ‘musical instruments’]-

.

As of 2007, C batteries accounted for 4% of alkaline primary battery sales in the United States.

In Switzerland as of 2008, C batteries totalled 5.4% of primary battery sales and 3.4% of secondary (rechargeable) battery sales

Properties

D, C, AA, AAA, AAAA & 9-volt batteries

A C battery measures 50 mm (1.97 in) length and 26.2 mm (1.03 in) diameter.[3]

The voltage and capacity of a C-size battery depends on the battery chemistry and discharge conditions.

The nominal voltage is 1.5V. Alkaline C batteries have a storage capacity up to 8000 mAh while rechargeable NiMH C batteries can hold up to 6000 mAh. Zinc-carbon C batteries usually hold up to 3800 mAh.[citation needed]

Standardisation[edit]
Like the D battery, the C battery size has been standardized since the 1920s.[4] The AA, AAA, and N sizes have been in common use since the 1950s.[5]

The C battery is called “14” in current ANSI standards of battery nomenclature, and in IEC standards is designated “R14”.
