Energizer "NH" series nimh cell capacity, AA, C, D

Interestingly, AA, C and D cell nimh's all have same capacity.

So is it cheaper to buy AA's and spacers, or larger cell sizes.

Certainly easier to store AA's and few spacers.

Alkalines "E" series
AA 2,850 mah
C . 8,350 mah
D . 20,500 mah

Read the engineering datasheet. The C & D have lower internal resistance and they're made in China. The AA is Made in Japan.

So the cells are not the same. I think the C and D has a lower internal resistance Sub-C instead of an AA. I had some RadioShack NiCd C's that were made with sleeves and Sub Cs

So that's a good plus point to buy the Energizer AA size only, being made in Japan, and capacity wise being equal.

Unless weight is a concern, if you're looking to use a D cell and are worried about high currents your best bet is to get a proper D sized cell from CTA or similar. Their D cell is rated 12,000mAh and easily copes with 10A+ draws.

They are a little expensive at $10 each however.

What D cell would this be? I could possibly use some cells like that...
