Does anyone know C rechargeable batteries

C sized rechargeable batteries?
Was looking into those years ago and they all seemed to be AA cells in a C sized package.
sorry no current information though.
Don't think I even have anything that uses C sized cells.

If you mean C size Cells like these try here.........

I thought it said rechargeable?

I made that assumption based on the mah capacities of the 2 different sized cells of the time.
The C sized Nimh cells seems to have the same capacity as the highest capacity AA cells.
Alkaline based cells were an entirely different beast though with the larger sized cells having much more capacity.
AA vs C
AAA, AA, C, D batteries all are rated at 1.5 volts but besides the difference in physical size there is a big difference between them all. ... That's where battery size comes in. The D size battery will deliver more current than the C, AA, and AAA size battery.

How about these and from Harbor Freight?

One thing about rechargeable Nimh cells they do not put out as much voltage as alkaline and may not work well in all applications.
They are 1.2 volts output where Alkaline and Carbon Zinc are 1.5 volts per cell.

I don't know. I will go with the Amazon ones. It will be a while, though. The last alkaline has to go.How about these and from Harbor Freight?

Browsing a bit it seems that AA, C, and D cell Nimh cells all still have around the same mah capacity.
fyi:
10280 = N cell
10440 = AAA
14250 = 1/2 AA
14500 = AA
15266 = CR2
17340 = CR123A
17335
17670 = 2 X CR123A, Pila 168S/600S
17500 = Pila 150S/300S
18650 = Pila 168A/600P
18500 = Pila 150A/300P
25500 C battery
32650
33600 D battery
I have been able to use 2 26650's to replace 4 C's.. They fit most of the C tubes and/or holders. I have also used 14650's to replace 2 aa's. Trick is to use a spacer. If you are powering an LED light, you have to be careful with too high a current. LED's need a minimum voltage to bloom. But you can power them in a high voltage circuit by limiting the current with a resistor. All you have to do is the math to figure out the size of the resistor from the higher voltage, and use that in a slug spacer. If it is a mag light with a halogen bulb, you can get a higher resistance bulb for the higher voltage.
