Energizer Size C

ENERGIZER SIZE C BATTERY (ALKALINE)

PRIMARY USES

1. Reliable Power Source for Medical Equipment Requiring Mid-Sized Batteries
Primary Use: Provides stable 1.5V DC power for medical devices that require C-sized batteries, including portable suction pumps, nebulizers, oxygen concentrators, medical scales, patient monitors, and diagnostic equipment where consistent voltage output is essential for accurate operation.
How it helps: For the hospital biomedical engineer and clinical equipment manager, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery in mid-sized medical devices is critical for patient care. The Energizer C alkaline battery delivers a nominal voltage of 1.5V with a fresh internal resistance of 150 to 300 milliohms, ensuring consistent power delivery throughout the discharge cycle . The battery features a plastic label jacket that provides electrical insulation for the metal can, reducing the risk of short circuits in multi-battery devices . With a typical capacity of approximately 8,000-8,350 mAh , these batteries provide extended runtime for power-dependent medical equipment.

2. Long Shelf Life for Emergency Medical Equipment and Backup Systems
Primary Use: Energizer MAX C alkaline batteries provide up to 10 years of shelf life at 21°C, making them ideal for emergency medical kits, backup monitoring equipment, disaster preparedness supplies, and medical “go-bags” where infrequent replacement and immediate readiness are critical.
How it helps: For the emergency physician and public health advisor, ensuring that emergency medical equipment functions when needed requires power sources that retain capacity during extended storage. Energizer C batteries maintain their power for up to 10 years while in storage . The PowerSeal™ technology delivers energy you can rely on, with leakage protection that is particularly important for sensitive medical equipment . For the healthcare facility and emergency response team, this means reduced inventory management burden and confidence that backup devices will function when needed.

3. High-Capacity Power for Portable Medical and Laboratory Devices
Primary Use: Powers portable medical and laboratory equipment including digital scales, motion sensors, multimeters, portable centrifuges, field testing equipment, and diagnostic devices where C battery compatibility and high energy density are required for extended operation.
How it helps: For the laboratory manager and field researcher, portable diagnostic equipment requires reliable power for accurate results. The Energizer C alkaline battery provides superior service performance at all drain rates, with higher energy density compared to standard batteries . The operating temperature range of -18°C to 55°C (0°F to 130°F) allows for use in diverse environmental conditions . For the clinician and researcher, this means dependable power for diagnostic and monitoring equipment during patient encounters or field work in any setting.

4. Safe, Mercury-Free Construction for Healthcare Environments
Primary Use: Contains zero added mercury and zero added cadmium, complying with environmental regulations for disposal and reducing toxic exposure risk in healthcare settings, clinics, hospitals, and home care environments.
How it helps: For the occupational health physician and environmental safety officer, the elimination of added mercury and cadmium reduces health hazards associated with battery manufacturing, use, and disposal. The alkaline chemistry consists of Zinc-Manganese Dioxide (Zn/MnO₂) with no added mercury or cadmium . Special disposal is not required, though local regulations should always be followed . For the healthcare facility, this means compliance with hazardous waste regulations and reduced environmental impact while maintaining high-performance standards.

5. Durable Construction for Demanding Clinical and Industrial Environments
Primary Use: Engineered with PowerSeal™ technology for leakage resistance and lower internal resistance for superior cold temperature performance, making these batteries suitable for medical equipment used in construction sites, field clinics, facility maintenance, and commercial spaces with challenging environmental conditions.
How it helps: For the facilities manager and clinical engineer, medical equipment may need to operate in diverse environments including temporary field clinics, construction site medical trailers, or outdoor emergency response settings. The Energizer Industrial Alkaline C battery offers lower internal resistance, superior cold temperature performance, and greater resistance to leakage compared to standard batteries . These batteries are date-coded and 100% mercury-free . For the healthcare provider working in challenging conditions, this means medical equipment remains operational when and where it is needed most.

SECONDARY USES

1. Powering portable diagnostic and monitoring equipment in low-resource settings: For mobile health clinics, community health worker programs, and medical missions, C batteries provide reliable power for portable devices such as handheld ECGs, portable ultrasound devices, fetal dopplers, and diagnostic equipment, enabling care delivery in areas without reliable mains electricity.

2. Operation of therapeutic devices requiring C batteries: Powers medical and therapeutic devices including portable TENS units for pain management, muscle stimulators used in physical therapy, therapeutic heating pads, and other rehabilitation equipment used in home and clinical settings.

3. Powering emergency alert systems and facility communication equipment: For healthcare facilities, emergency communication devices, public address systems, and wireless call systems may rely on C batteries for backup power, ensuring continued operation during mains power interruptions.

4. Operation of laboratory and field testing equipment: For medical laboratories and field researchers, portable diagnostic equipment including scales, timers, meters, and battery-powered sample processors use C batteries, enabling diagnostic testing in remote locations or during power outages.

5. Consumer medical devices in home healthcare: For patients managing chronic conditions at home, C batteries power devices such as blood pressure monitors, handheld massagers, digital thermometers, and other home medical equipment requiring mid-sized battery cells.
