Sold as a 2-pack blister, these batteries use zinc chloride chemistry suited to intermittent or low-current applications rather than high-drain continuous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for household and workplace environments where devices draw minimal continuous power, the C size format fits standard battery compartments in clocks, older torches, portable radios and some children's toys. The zinc carbon chemistry provides cost-effective power when devices are used occasionally or draw only small amounts of current between rest periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe batteries carry a mercury-free and lead-free composition, meeting environmental standards without heavy metal content. Each C cell measures 50mm in height and 26mm in diameter, matching the international standard C size specification. The blister pack protects the batteries before use and keeps them together for storage in drawers or toolboxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.06\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e83\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePanasonic Heavy Duty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCell Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCell Composition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat devices are these batteries suited for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eC size zinc carbon batteries work well in low-drain devices such as wall clocks, remote controls, portable AM\/FM radios and torches used occasionally. They are not recommended for high-drain devices like digital cameras, motorised toys or high-output LED torches, where alkaline or rechargeable batteries perform better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do zinc carbon batteries differ from alkaline?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc carbon batteries use zinc chloride chemistry and provide lower total capacity than alkaline batteries. They cost less but discharge faster under continuous or high-current loads. For devices that draw power intermittently or in small amounts, zinc carbon offers acceptable performance at a lower price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the shelf life?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc carbon batteries typically have a shelf life of 2-3 years when stored at room temperature in the original packaging. Performance degrades faster if batteries are stored in warm or humid conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these batteries rechargeable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Zinc carbon batteries are single-use and cannot be recharged. Attempting to recharge them can cause leakage or rupture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Panasonic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46075186282763,"sku":"S3945","price":1.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/S3945_1_14ec09b6-4cf7-4679-9d90-cad6e83849f1.jpg?v=1730317753","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/panasonic-c-size-zinc-carbon-batteries-1-5v-2-pack","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
