AW's have 1Ah more capacity but less maximum current handling due to different chemistry, a protection circuit, and are 12mm shorter.

AW's C is sized Size : 25.5mm (diameter) X 53.5mm (length)
Voltage : 3.7V nominal
Capacity :3300mAH
Recommended Max. Continuous Discharge Rate : 5A
Anti-explosion PTC/ Vent module
Full protection : Overcharge, Over-discharge, Short circuit
The optimal charging rate of these C cells is 2.0 - 2.5A.
