Product Details

The C size R14 UM2 Carbon Zinc Battery is a mid-size cylindrical 1.5V dry battery built for devices that need more runtime than an AA or AAA cell but a smaller footprint than a D cell. With a standard C form factor of 25 mm in diameter and 48 mm in height, it fits classic C battery compartments and works as a direct drop-in replacement for common C cells.

Each cell uses a carbon zinc electrochemical system housed in a PVC-jacketed cylinder. The battery is supplied as a primary (non-rechargeable) cell and is available in OEM colors, with brand options under Power Cel / OEM, so brand owners can match the cell to their own product identity. Free samples are available for evaluation before volume ordering.

WHY THIS PRODUCT 04

Product Advantages

  • Standard C Size Fit: A standard C size of 25 mm x 48 mm fits classic C battery compartments and works as a drop-in replacement for existing C cells.
  • Stable 1.5V Output: The carbon zinc system outputs a stable 1.5 V, which suits devices designed for standard C alkaline or carbon zinc cells.
  • Balanced Capacity & Size: Positioned between AA/AAA and D formats, the C body offers a longer working cycle than smaller cells while keeping the device compact and light.
  • PVC Jacket Construction: The PVC jacket protects the cell body during storage, transport and insertion, keeping the surface clean and easy to handle.
  • Cost-Effective, Maintenance-Free: The cell is non-rechargeable and requires no charging cycle or charger, keeping total cost of ownership predictable.
  • OEM Color & Branding: OEM color and brand options (Power Cel / OEM) let buyers align the cell with their own label and packaging design.
WHERE IT WORKS 05

Typical Applications

  • The C size R14 UM2 carbon zinc battery is designed for mid-size, often intermittent-use applications, and is a common match for vintage and classic equipment. Typical scenarios include:
  • Vintage Radios: Vintage and classic radios that were originally built around a C size 1.5 V cylindrical cell.
  • Vintage Flashlights: Vintage flashlights and old-style torches that accept a C size cell.
  • Electric Toys: Electric toys with a C battery compartment and low to moderate power demand.
  • Vintage Wall Clocks: Vintage wall clocks and similar timekeeping devices that draw a small, continuous current.
  • Shower Switches: Shower switches and similar small household switches that run on a single 1.5 V cylindrical cell.
