Customer Reviews

These batteries deliver!
These batteries are absolutely amazing. Low self discharge, high capacity, and capable of super high currents. They might seem pricey, but if you have high drain devices that use C-cells, then you NEED these batteries. I make custom high-output LED flashlights and these are a perfect, safe, high-output power solution that provides always ready, high output and long runtime in four of my favorite 3*C-cell torches.

If your application fits ordinary Alkaline C-cells snugly, then these might not fit as they are a hair wider. I have also found that the ones branded AccuPower Evolution are slightly fatter than the newer ones branded AccuEvolution.

AccuEvolution Ultra Low Self Discharge - Size C
I heartily agree with the earlier reviews, this IS a very impressive battery, and you have to shop for good prices. I have found excellent prices on this battery here on Amazon - simply by looking around.

A bit of caution: Size C Low Self Discharge batteries are often just a AA LSD inserted into a C shell. This is NOT the case with the AccuEvolution. The AccuEvolution C is a real battery through and through - with a capacity of 4,500 mAHs (over twice as much as a 2,200 mAH re-wrap). This is why the AccuEvolution is noticeably heavy.

Real cost: I recently came across an interesting article online that compares the actual cost per amp hour of a typical alkaline battery vs this battery. A name brand size C alkaline on sale for $0.94 is shown to cost $46.81 for 100 mill amp hours, while an AccuEvolution size C priced at $9.98 costs just $0.19 (including cost of electricity and charger) per 100 milli amp hours. This is a difference of slightly over 300%.

Great Batteries, but price is a joke.
Price is way to high on these. Their D size can be had on other sites for under $20 per pair.
