{"product_id":"philips-power-alkaline-d-batteries-lr20-2-pack","title":"Philips Power Alkaline D Batteries (LR20) - 2 Pack","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA D cell is the largest of the common cylindrical battery sizes, and this pack holds two of them. Each one is a 1.5V alkaline cell carrying the codes LR20 and Mono, which are the markings you are most likely to find stamped inside a battery compartment or printed in an appliance manual. Both cells sit on a single blister card and stay sealed until you need them, and the front of the pack is marked Long lasting power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD cells are chosen where a device needs to run for a long stretch rather than where it needs to be small: large rubber torches, camping and emergency lanterns, mains free radios, loud wall clocks, doorbell chimes and bigger children's toys. A D cell holds considerably more charge than an AA of the same chemistry and voltage, which is why manufacturers specify it for steady drain and for equipment that sits in a cupboard, a shed or a car boot between uses. Check the markings in the compartment before you order, because D and C are easy to confuse by name alone; a C cell is noticeably shorter and narrower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlkaline cells of this type are single use and must never be put on a charger; if you want cells you can top up again, a rechargeable NiMH D cell is a different product with a 1.2V nominal output. Replace every cell in a device at the same time rather than mixing a fresh one with a part used one, and take spent cells to a battery recycling point instead of the household bin. This listing is the two cell pack supplied without the inner box, and the minimum order is 12 packs in multiples of 12, which works out at 24 cells. The manufacturer does not print a shelf life figure on the pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChemistry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlkaline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCodes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLR20, Mono\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack quantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 cells\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack of 2, without inner box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12, sold in multiples of 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a D cell the same as an LR20 or a Mono cell?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
