Product Information

Full details

This guide is for users of Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries who need to power devices requiring C size batteries. The key benefit is the ability to use your existing AA rechargeables in C-size devices without purchasing new batteries. A minor caveat is that these are adapters, not batteries themselves, and require Eneloop AA batteries to function. These adapters allow eneloop AA batteries to be used in devices that typically require C size batteries, maintaining the performance characteristics of the AA cells. Key features include their compact and lightweight design, enabling AA batteries to fit into C-size applications.

FAQs

Can I use regular alkaline AA batteries with these adapters?

No, these adapters are specifically designed for use with Panasonic Eneloop Ni-MH rechargeable AA battery cells only. They are not compatible with alkaline AA batteries.

How many AA batteries do I need per C-size battery requirement?

You need one Eneloop AA battery per C-size battery your device requires. For example, if your device needs two C-size batteries, you will use two AA batteries, each in its own adapter.

Will using AA batteries in adapters affect my device's performance?

The adapters are designed to maintain the performance characteristics of Eneloop AA batteries. However, actual performance may vary slightly depending on the device's power requirements and the specific capacity of the AA battery used.

How do I know if the AA battery is inserted correctly into the adapter?

Look for the polarity markings (+) and (-) on both the AA battery and the adapter. The positive end of the AA battery should align with the corresponding positive contact in the adapter.

What is the weight of each adapter?

Each adapter weighs approximately 0.35 ounces without a battery inserted.

Are these adapters rechargeable?

No, the adapters themselves are not rechargeable. They are passive components that allow rechargeable AA batteries to fit into C-size devices. You recharge the Eneloop AA batteries separately.

What is the warranty for these adapters?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer or manufacturer at the point of sale. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Device not turning on after inserting adapter

Ensure the Eneloop AA battery is correctly inserted into the adapter and the adapter is correctly oriented within the device's C-size battery compartment. Check that the AA battery is charged.

Adapter feels loose in the device

While designed for a snug fit, slight looseness can occur depending on the device's battery compartment tolerance. Ensure good contact is made. If significant looseness affects performance, consider securing it with a small piece of tape if possible, being careful not to obstruct contacts.

Device runs out of power quickly

The Eneloop AA battery may be depleted. Recharge the AA battery. If the problem persists with a fully charged battery, the AA battery's capacity might be lower than a dedicated C-size battery, or the device may have a higher drain than the adapter can optimally support.

Adapter difficult to insert or remove

Ensure you are using the correct size adapter (C size for C size). Gently wiggle the adapter while inserting or removing. Do not force it, as this could damage the adapter or the device.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enables the use of readily available Eneloop AA batteries in C-size devices.
  • Avoids the need to purchase and maintain separate C-size disposable or rechargeable batteries.
  • Preserves the original performance characteristics of Eneloop AA batteries.
  • Lightweight and compact, adding negligible size or weight.
  • Cost-effective solution for powering C-size devices with existing AA batteries.

Cons

  • Requires Eneloop AA rechargeable batteries to function; they are adapters, not power sources.
  • May not be suitable for extremely high-drain C-size devices where the AA form factor's current delivery is a limitation.
  • Adds an extra component to the battery setup, potentially increasing points of failure if not handled carefully.
  • The size difference means a slightly bulkier setup than a native C-size battery.
  • Not compatible with standard alkaline AA batteries, only Eneloop Ni-MH AA cells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Take an Eneloop AA rechargeable battery.
  2. Carefully insert the AA battery into one end of the Eneloop C size battery adapter.
  3. Ensure the AA battery is correctly oriented within the adapter, matching positive (+) and negative (-) terminals as indicated.
  4. Place the adapter (with the AA battery inside) into the device's C-size battery compartment.
  5. Verify correct polarity within the device's battery compartment.

Compatibility:

  • Batteries: Exclusively designed for use with Panasonic Eneloop Ni-MH rechargeable AA (R6) battery cells.
  • Devices: Compatible with any device that requires one or more C size (LR14, R14) batteries.

Care:

  • Keep the adapters clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them if necessary.
  • Avoid exposing the adapters to extreme temperatures or moisture.
  • When not in use, store the adapters in a clean, dry place, preferably with batteries removed to prevent accidental discharge or corrosion.
