Description
This is a pair of C size alkaline cells from the Energizer Max Plus range, supplied together on one retail card. The C cell is the short, wide cylinder that sits between an AA and a D in the drawer, and its formal code is LR14. If the cell you are replacing is stamped LR14, C or R14, this pair is the direct swap. Each cell gives the usual 1.5 volts of an alkaline round cell, and you receive two of them on the card.
C cells turn up wherever a device needs more capacity than an AA can carry but does not warrant a D. Rubber torches and camping lanterns, portable radios, wall mounted door chimes, automatic soap dispensers and larger children's toys and ride on cars are the usual homes for them. Because the size is bought less often than AA, it tends to be the one a household has run out of at the worst possible moment, so a spare card in the kitchen drawer or the van earns its place.
Alkaline is the straightforward choice here: nothing to charge, nothing to set up, and a steady output in kit that draws power in bursts rather than running flat out. The pack states a 10 year shelf life, so a spare pair kept somewhere cool and dry will still be worth reaching for long after the day you bought it. One unit of this listing is a card of two cells, and the minimum order is six units, sold in multiples of six. That suits a household stocking up in one go or a workshop keeping a box topped up. It sits alongside our wider range of Energizer batteries in AA, AAA, C, D, 9V and coin cell sizes.

Frequently Asked
How many cells do I actually get?
One card carries two C cells. If your device takes four, you will need two cards to fill it in one go.
My old battery is marked LR14 or R14 rather than C. Will this fit?
Yes. C, LR14 and R14 all name the same cylindrical cell, so any device asking for one of those codes takes this one.
What voltage do these give?
Each cell is 1.5 volts, the standard output for an alkaline round cell, so four in series give a device six volts.
Can I recharge them once they are flat?
No. These are alkaline cells, which are single use by design. For repeat charging you would need a rechargeable C cell instead.
How long can I keep a spare card before using it?
The pack states a 10 year shelf life. Keep the card sealed and somewhere cool and dry rather than in a hot loft.
Is there a minimum quantity on this listing?
Yes, six units, sold in multiples of six. Each unit is one card of two cells, so the smallest order is twelve cells.
