Because non-rechargeable lithium batteries have over twice the voltage of alkalines we created a "Double C", a single cell twice as long as an alkaline C cell with 3.6 volts. This battery replaces two C cells in series. For systems that cannot accept the higher voltage of 3.6 volts we offer the 3.0 volt lithium manganese type cells.

Advantages:

From 2.2 to 6 times the capacity of two C cells in series
Much better voltage hold-up during discharge
Extremely long shelf life--up to 20 years
Welded steel shell, cannot leak

Disadvantages

Peak currents are not as high as alkaline C cells, but are great for most purposes such as trenchless transmitters.
Cannot be charged under any circumstances.
For use in pairs to power "4 alkaline cell" systems use the PowerStream exclusive DoubleC-CR which is a 3 volt chemistry. Trenchless transmitters cannot accept the higher voltage 3.6 volt cells when used in pairs, so this is the perfect cell for 4 cell systems.

Size	Type	Nominal Voltage	Nominal Capacity Amp-hrs	Nominal Current mA	Pulse Current mA	Mass	Size	Price quantity of 1-10 cells	Price quantity of 11-50 cells	Price quantity of 51-100 cells
DoubleC-H	High Capacity lithium thionyl chloride	3.6 V	17 AH	200 mA (note 1)	800 mA	108 grams	CC 26.2 mm dia x 102 mm long	$56.00	$47.50	$38.72
DoubleC-CR	Lithium manganese dioxide	3.0V	12AH	1000mA	2000 mA	110 grams	CC 26.2 x 102 mm long	$42.00	$36.30	$25.20

Note 1: The battery voltage will stay above 3 volts for entire discharge when discharged at 200 mA or less.

Quantity pricing is based on one order, one shipment.
