EZMoney Bob Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have been using the high capacity Eneloops. I think they are around 2550 mah. I have had them for maybe a year, no issues and they seem to last very well. 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... http://www.bing.com/search?q=C+cell+Eneloop&form=MS8TDF&pc=MS8TDF&src=IE-SearchBox 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... http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?287461-Eneloop-C-amp-D-Cells-Exposed 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 ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/141388516443 or these adapters that use 3 AAA cells to make a C cell... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K86RXQU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wow, that is really cool! Multiple AA to D cell adapters - who knew? Not me anyway. I have some that convert a single AA to a D but no life doing that. I am going to get some just because I have a ton of AA rechargeable batteries. Thanks!

rumblefish Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 There are some C cells that are shorter in length than the regular ones - I forget what they are called. Make sure you get the right ones for the charger/machine you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 They had a whole assortment of solar charging products at Costco in Spanish Springs yesterday. http://www.goalzero.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sourdough Scott Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Well I bit the bullet and purchased a solar panel and solar generator. This will take care of my detector battery charging in the goldfields. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
