the C cell

[Thief]

I have noticed and the question repeats as time goes by

WHY?.....are C cell batteries NOT rechargeable

am I looking in the wrong direction?
don't seem to recall ever seeing that size battery AS a rechargeable

I recall about 20 years ago having rechargeable sizes off all batteries. You could find them at Radio Shack. Remember that name? Maybe that's why you can't find them now.

yep.....and the store went bye-bye
and the batteries went with them?

I'm wondering if there is some patent in the way?
or some behind the scene double dealing

I think it is mostly a matter of market. Most devices today us AA or AAA. Very few use C or D any more. So, the rechargeable ones are made for sizes that are used: AA and AAA.

I have seen C and even D as rechargeable batteries, but it was a fairly long time ago.

I think they were specialists in dying tech. I recall other manufacturers had them, but Radio Shack was the place you'd find all kinds of stuff that no one else was carrying anymore. I guess the demise of 5 1/4 inch floppy disks may have led to their final collapse.

People these days use LED flashlights and CD players are at least 20 years out of date: most modern computers simply don't have them any longer.

Better than the alternative.

Getting?
I remember seeing you throwing TP over Abe Lincoln's cabin on Devil's night.

You have a flashlight? What the heck!

I have an app on my phone for that.

I love C cells. Especially Car-T Cs1 cells.

Anybody interested can look it up.

Snob.
I've got a trusty LED flashlight that's really bright and the batteries last for years. I'm playing my CD player right now.

It would be nice if they only had a standardized version of batteries.

Well there's always de potatoes in the cellar...... Now where's that science set I had when I was a kid?
