I HAVE ONLY ONE ITEM IN MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF A C CELL, SO I DO NOT WANT A QUANTITY OF THEM SITTING IN THE DRAWER AS I DO NOT WANT THEM TO LOSE THEIR POWER. I DO NOT WANT TO USE THE KIND WHERE YOU PLUG THEM IN AND POWER THEM UP AGAIN. THAT KIND HAS NEVER SEEMED TO WORK WELL FOR ME, NOR FOR THOSE I KNOW WHO HAVE USED THEM. ONE OF MY FRIENDS HAD A HUSBAND WHO INSISTED THEY USE THE TYPE THAT COULD BE REPOWERED.....ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, I N THE MIDST OF OUR EVENING WALK AND TALK, IT WAS HER FLASHLIGHT THAT WENT DEAD AND MINE THAT STILL HAD PLENTY OF LIGHT.MY C CELL "APPLICANCE", IS, ODDLY ENOUGH, A VERY NICE CLOCK THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR MY HUSBAND AND I AS A GIFT. IT IS A SMALL GRANDFATHER TYPE CLOCK THAT HANGS ON THE WALL AND HAS THE PENDULUM THAT SWINGS BACK AND FORTH. IN ADDITION, IT TONES ON THE QUARTER OF THE HOUR. IT DOES, INCIDENTLY, DRIVE PEOPLE NUTS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE HOUSE FOR LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, BUT PAST THAT, THE BRAIN SHUTS OUT THE "NOISE" OF THE QUARTER HOURLY BONG AND SIMPLY NOTIFIES THE HOUSE OCCUPANT THAT A QUARTER OF AN HOUR HAS PASSED.NOW, WE HAVE HAD THIS CLOCK FOR YEARS, AND I MUST ADMIT THAT TO ME A C CELL OF THE ALKALINE, NON RENEWABLE NATURE, IS A C CELL. I DO NOT STAND BY THE CLOCK FOR 6 OR 8 MONTHS TO SEE JUST HOW MANY MORE HOURS OR MINUTES ONE STANDARD C CELL OUT POWERS THE NEXT STANDARD C CELL. THAT MAY BE THE AREA OF INTEREST FOR SOME, BUT I HAVE USED ENOUGH OVER THE YEARS TO REALIZE, THAT FOR THE USE OF THE CLOCK, THE DIFFERENCE IN BATTEREY LIFE IS NOT THAT MUCH DIFFERENT AND NOT WHAT I AM INTERESTED IN.BEING THE HOUSEWIFELY TYPE WHO IS KEEPING UP WITH THE PURCHASE OF THESE LITTLE RASCALS, I HAVE OTHER INTERESTS IN MIND, THE MOST PROMINENT OF WHICH REVOVLES AROUND1. STORABILITY WHICH SAVES ON LENGTH OF LIFE. I DO NOT WANT TO BUY ONE OF THOSE SUPER ECONOMICAL, 10-20 BATTERY PACKS, BECAUSE BY THE TIME , I HAVE USED TWO OR THREE OF THEM, SOMEONE ELSE HAS COME ALONG, ROOTED AROUND IN THE BATTERY DRAWERS AND SPREAD THE C CELLS ALL OVER SO THAT VARIOUS OF THE ENDS TOUCH, SOME HAVE ROLLED OFF UNDER THE TRIPLE A'S AND ALL OTHER SORTS OF UNMENTIONABLES HAVE OCCURRED, AND I END UP GETTING THE USE OF ONLY 2 OR 3 BATTERIES FOR MY SUPER GREAT PRICE DEAL.2. SO I LIKE THESE BECAUSE THERE ARE ONLY 4 OF THEM. I HAVE LEARNED THE HARD WAY TO EITHER TAPE THIS PACKAGE SECURELY AFTER THE REMOVAL OF EACH BATTERY, OR TO PUT THEM IN A SMALL CONTAINER IN WHICH ALL THE BATTERIES CAN BE STORED IN ONE DIRECTION, SO THE PERSON WHO IS REALLY ON THE HUNT FOR THE AA'S DOES NOT INNOCENTLY, OR NOT SO INNOCENTLY, DESTROY A WHO DRAWER FULL OF BATTERIES BY PAWING THROUGH THEM LIKE A RACCOON.3. PACKAGING: THIS IS FAIRLY EFFICIENT PACKAGING. I LIKE THE KIND BETTER THAT CAN BE SNAPPED CLOSED AFTER THE REMOVAL OF ONE OR TWO RELATIVELY LARGE BATTERIES, BUT AT LEAST, THIS PACKAGE CAN BE TAPED SO THAT THE CELLS DO NO ROLL AROUND AND DEENERGIZE ONE ANOUTHER WHILE STILL WAITING TO BE USED.4. I AM HAPPY ENOUGH WITH THIS BATTERY BRAND AND METHOD OF PACKING TO REPURCHASE. UNLESS ONE HAS A CALL FOR MANY A C CELL IT BECOMES VERY EXPENSIVE TO BUY ONE AT A TIME, OR TO TRY PURCHASING A LARGE LOT AND THEN SEEING THEM DEENERGIZE OVER TIME.THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST C CELL BUYS THAT AMAZON OFFERS AT THIS TIME: OCT 2014.Es económica y cumple la misma función que una costosaFast delivery, great price! You need batteries - buy them here!Second Christmas season buying these - 48 batteries, "C"'s. I put a battery operated flickering candle in each window of our house, and each one requires 2 batteries. In fact, I keep 5 candles in the bay windows all year long.This is a good deal, even though they are expensive. But after comparing with the Walmart prices, local hardware stores, this is the only way to buy 48 of them. They lasted well...from dusk to dawn, everyday, for almost 3 months. Recommend them highly.I did a ton of research, and you really can't go wrong with these Energizer batteries! I ordered some in virtually every size just to be prepared, after reading several reviews and watching some scientifically conducted comparisons for output and longevity on YouTube. I also replaced all of the cheapie batteries that came in my remotes and such with Energizers.I have a bad feeling about this purchase, we shall see. When it says "BULK PURCHASE" I assume that means that they won't be in lovely little boxes of 12, not what I received. It is a box of loose batteries rolling around, some + side up, some + side down. No plastic, even around all of them. I have a feeling they are repurposed, or something, but I am going to use them right away to see if they last. I will report back.Great valueFor whatever's needed everything is fineenergiser batteries, arrived in date so no problemsexcellent
