C battery

Baby, baby cell, and C are common names for a standardized, widely used size of batteries and accumulators. It is cylindrical round cells with a diameter of about 27 mm and a height of about 50 mm. This results in a volume of about 29 cm ³ yields. Baby cells are produced with different electrochemical systems, which can be clearly different from the rated voltage, capacity and resilience. Depending on the system more often manufacturer-specific, non-rechargeable and rechargeable names for baby cells are used.

Baby cells are used primarily in larger, portable electrical equipment. Examples are toys, flashlights, tape recorders, transistor radios and equipment combinations (especially radio recorder). Due to the increased efficiency of the alkaline manganese cells occurs in newly developed devices that consume less power and often the size Mignon used. The even larger mono- cells are used due to their size and the higher load only rarely for new portable devices.
