What Are The Best Rechargeable Batteries?


Recommended Posts

I use AA Eneloops and I think Eneloops are the best quality batteries out there but I couldn't find any C cell Eneloops.  Do you know if they make them?  I bought some AA Tenergy batteries and the OD was too large to fit in my Made in USA  Mini Mag Light AA flashlight (which pissed me off)  although they seem to work OK in detectors and other devices where the size requirement isn't important. 

 

Bob, apparently they use to make C cells but now it seems that they make adapters, but it maybe possible that the C cellsare still being made...

BUT if they do still make them, one might want to read this info on Eneloops C and D cells that they did make that I found doing a search for them, apparently Sanyo put AAA cells inside the C and D cells to save cost it's assumed and it's thought that sometimes all the AAA cells inside them may not take a full charge if one of the AAA cells are defective, but I let you read it and decide if you should use the C cell Enloops if they are still being made, that all being said the topic linked below is about 5 years old and things at Sanyo could have changed to them making "real" C and D cells, or maybe not since the last post in the topic was in 2013...

or you can get adapters that use a single AA cell to make your own C cells, but you may not get the same MAH ...

or these adapters that use 3 AAA cells to make a C cell...
