Energizer Industrial C LR14 Alkaline Batteries (12 Pack)

Energizer Industrial C LR14 alkaline batteries are 1.5V cells supplied in a 12-pack box designed for professional and industrial use. Each cell measures 25.4mm diameter by 50mm height (standard C size) and uses alkaline chemistry to deliver consistent voltage output across extended discharge cycles. The Industrial range is built to the same manufacturing standards as Energizer's retail batteries but packaged in bulk for trade, facilities management and original equipment manufacturers.

These batteries power medium to high-drain devices including wireless security systems, portable radios, emergency torches, industrial timers, medical equipment and building automation sensors. The alkaline chemistry provides higher capacity than zinc-carbon equivalents, with stable voltage delivery until the cell reaches depletion rather than gradual fade. The shelf life when stored at room temperature is typically 7-10 years from manufacture date, making the 12-pack format practical for maintaining stock in maintenance stores or facilities cupboards.

The pack weight of 0.79kg reflects twelve full-size C cells plus protective cardboard packaging. Each cell delivers approximately 7,000-8,000mAh capacity depending on discharge rate, which translates to months of runtime in low-drain devices like sensors and timers, or tens of hours in high-drain applications like portable audio equipment and LED torches. The Industrial branding indicates these are factory-direct cells without retail markup, positioned for procurement by facilities teams, electrical contractors and businesses buying consumables in bulk.

What devices use C batteries?

C cells are commonly used in wireless doorbells, portable radios, torches, security motion sensors, building automation timers, some medical devices and children's battery-operated toys. They provide more capacity than AA cells where physical space allows the larger diameter.

How do Industrial batteries differ from retail Energizer batteries?

Energizer Industrial batteries are the same cells as the retail Max or Power ranges but packaged in bulk cartons rather than blister packs. They're sold through trade channels for commercial procurement, typically at lower per-unit cost when buying multiple packs.

What is the shelf life?

Energizer alkaline batteries have a shelf life of 7-10 years from manufacture when stored at room temperature in a dry environment. The expiry date is printed on the packaging.

Are these rechargeable?

No. These are single-use alkaline cells. Once depleted they should be disposed of through battery recycling. Rechargeable C cells use NiMH chemistry and are sold separately as a different product line.
