Description
This is a pair of Duracell Plus Power D cells, the largest of the common cylindrical household sizes. D is the tall, wide barrel that sits in the heavier end of battery-powered kit, and it is the size people most often find themselves short of, because comparatively few devices use it. Each cell is alkaline and carries the 1.5V nominal output standard to that chemistry, and the pack prints both codes you might be matching against: LR20, the international designation, and MN1300, Duracell's own. If the cell you are replacing shows either, this is the same cell.
D cells earn their keep where a device needs to run for a long time between changes rather than draw a lot of power quickly. Large rubber torches and lanterns, camping and shed lights, portable radios, older doorbell transformers and the bigger musical and ride-on toys are where they usually turn up. Two cells suit anything that takes a pair; where a torch takes three or four, order accordingly, because mixing a fresh cell with a part-used one shortens the run of the whole set.
One unit of this listing is a blister card holding two cells, and the retail pack is the one you would find on a shelf, printed with a 100% life guarantee marked by an asterisk that points to the manufacturer's own terms. The minimum order is 10, sold in multiples of 10, so the smallest purchase brings 20 cells in total, which suits a workshop drawer, a village hall store cupboard or anyone keeping a torch box topped up. Leaving them in the card until they go into the device is the simplest way to keep fresh cells from being muddled with part-used ones. This sits alongside our wider Duracell range, which also runs to lithium coin cells, silver oxide watch cells and alkaline button cells.

Frequently Asked
Is an LR20 the same thing as a D cell?
Yes. LR20 is the international code for an alkaline D cell and MN1300 is Duracell's own reference for that same size, and both are printed on this pack.
What sort of devices actually take D cells?
Typically large torches and camping lanterns, portable radios, older doorbell transformers, floor-standing fans and the bigger musical or ride-on toys, where long running time matters more than compact size.
How many cells do I receive, and what is the smallest order?
Each unit is a card of two D cells. The minimum order is 10 units, sold in multiples of 10, so the smallest purchase brings you 20 cells.
Can these cells be recharged?
No. Alkaline cells like these are primary cells, intended to be used once and replaced. Only cells sold specifically as rechargeable are designed to go back on a charger.
Will a D cell work where a C cell is fitted?
No. A C cell is both shorter and narrower, so a D will not fit the compartment, and a C sits loose in a D holder without making reliable contact.
