C Batteries

C cell batteries are a dependable power source designed for medium-drain devices that require a balance between performance and runtime. Known for their durability, reliability and long lifespan, industrial C batteries are capable of delivering stable energy output in demanding environments. They are long lasting and ideal for powering flashlights, radios and safety instruments, providing a consistent output of 1.5V.

RS Australia offers a wide selection of C cell batteries for professional and industrial use, including type C batteries, size C batteries, alkaline C batteries and C cell batteries in bulk.

What Are C Cell Batteries?

A C cell battery is a mid-size cylindrical cell that typically delivers 1.5 volts of power. These non-rechargeable batteries are designed for medium-drain devices that require steady, long-term power supply without frequent replacement. Their size allows for a greater energy capacity compared to AA batteries, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.

Key Uses of Long Lasting C Batteries

• Powering torches, flashlights and portable radios that require reliable energy over extended periods.
• Supporting sensors and monitoring devices that operate continuously in industrial environments.
• Providing backup power for emergency lighting, alarms and safety beacons.
• Used in communication equipment and field devices where battery life is critical.
• Available in bulk C cell batteries for large-scale operations and long-term storage, with a long shelf life to reduce waste and downtime.

Choosing the right type of C batteries ensures optimal efficiency and compatibility with your devices. RS offers a range of high-quality options to suit different performance needs.

Alkaline C Batteries

These 1.5V C batteries deliver consistent power and feature a long shelf life, providing a balance between cost and performance. Alkaline C batteries are ideal for everyday devices such as radios, flashlights and test instruments where reliable output is needed.

Industrial C Batteries

Built to withstand demanding conditions, industrial C batteries feature rugged construction and wide operating temperature tolerance. They are perfect for professional equipment, safety systems and sensors that require dependable energy in harsh environments.

Carbon Zinc C Batteries

A cost-effective choice for low-drain applications, carbon zinc C batteries are suitable for devices that are used intermittently, such as basic tools, meters and low-power radios. They are also an economical option for facilities that require batteries for light-duty use.

How to Choose the Right Type C Batteries

Selecting the right type of C battery ensures your device performs efficiently and safely. Consider these factors before purchasing:

Battery Chemistry

• Alkaline: Standard 1.5 V, reliable power and longer shelf life.
• Carbon Zinc: Budget-friendly for light or occasional use.
• Lithium (if available): Lightweight, extended runtime and excellent cold-weather performance.

Voltage (V) and Capacity (Ah)

• Most 1.5 V C batteries maintain compatibility across a wide range of devices.
• Capacity (in amp-hours, Ah) determines how long a battery can power a device: higher capacity suits energy-intensive tools.

Pack Size and Bulk Options

• Choose from single, twin and bulk C cell batteries in packs of 10 or 20.
• Bulk packaging is cost-effective for industrial sites or field operations needing consistent supply.

Terminal Type

• Standard flat terminals are suitable for general devices.
• Tagged terminals are used for secure connections in industrial or custom electronic setups.
• Spring or button terminals ensure compatibility with specific housings.
