When someone asks you about a Sub C cell are you forced to mutter something vague and quickly leave the room? When someone called trying to locate a 4/3 Fat A did it hurt your feelings? Did you think that only inarticulate Canadians said A-A-A-A? This used to happen to us all the time, so we created the following chart! But keep the following things in mind:

  • Diameter can vary as much as 1 mm between different manufacturers
  • Length can also vary, and also increase with a protruding end cap.
  • Weights listed are just the first thing we found in a catalog in that size. YOU CAN'T COMPARE WEIGHTS OF DIFFERENT CHEMISTRIES FROM THIS CHART. Weight of a cell depends on a lot of manufacturer - dependent things. The purpose of the weight column is to give a feel for how heavy a cell will be. Your results will vary. Batteries not included.
  • Not all the sizes in this chart can be found off-the-shelf. But we can get just about any size made for you. Just ask!
