Description
Duracell Plus Power C LR14 batteries are 1.5V alkaline cells supplied in a 4-pack, designed for medium-to-high drain devices including torches, portable radios, battery-powered lanterns and larger children's toys. Each cell uses alkaline chemistry to deliver consistent voltage output across the discharge cycle, avoiding the voltage drop-off that occurs with cheaper zinc-carbon batteries.
The 4-pack format suits households keeping a rotating stock of batteries for torches, camping equipment and emergency radios, as well as workplaces where portable torches and radios are kept in tool kits or emergency cabinets. The C cell size sits between AA (smaller, lower capacity) and D (larger, higher capacity), offering a middle ground for devices that need longer runtime than AA can provide without the bulk of D cells.
Duracell Plus Power batteries carry an extended shelf life, retaining charge for up to 10 years when stored at room temperature in the original packaging. This makes them suitable for emergency preparedness kits, seasonal equipment (camping lanterns, holiday decorations) and backup supplies stored in cupboards or glove boxes. The cells are date-coded on the base, showing the month and year of manufacture to help track storage time.

Frequently Asked
What devices use C batteries?
C cells are commonly used in medium-sized torches, portable radios, battery-powered lanterns, larger musical toys, and some older clock radios. They provide more capacity than AA batteries without the size and weight of D cells.
How long do Duracell Plus Power C batteries last in storage?
When stored at room temperature in the original packaging, Duracell Plus Power alkaline batteries retain charge for up to 10 years. Check the date code printed on the base of each cell to confirm the manufacture date.
Can these be used in high-drain devices?
Yes. Alkaline C cells handle medium-to-high drain devices well, including torches and portable radios. For very high-drain devices used frequently (such as professional camera flash units), rechargeable NiMH C cells may offer better value over time.
Are Duracell Plus Power batteries rechargeable?
No. These are single-use alkaline batteries and must not be recharged. Attempting to recharge alkaline cells can cause leakage or rupture. For rechargeable C cells, look for NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries instead.
