Rechargeable NiMH C-size (HR14) Battery Voltcraft 4500 mAh 1.2 V

Voltcraft rechargeable NiMH C-size (HR14) battery with 4500 mAh capacity and nominal voltage 1.2 V is a high-capacity cell intended for devices that require C/HR14 format. The cell delivers stable voltage under load, supports multiple recharge cycles and features reduced self-discharge characteristics for extended readiness compared with standard single-use alkaline cells. This rechargeable battery is suitable for frequent-use applications and helps lower running costs over time.

Advantages

The battery offers a relatively high 4500 mAh capacity in the C-size (HR14) format, providing longer runtime between charges for power-hungry devices. Rechargeable NiMH chemistry ensures good cycle life and predictable voltage behaviour under varying loads. Reduced self-discharge helps maintain charge during storage, and the robust construction provides reliable contact and safe handling in compatible devices.

Suitable for

• Toys and electronic playthings
• Handheld flashlights and lanterns
• Portable audio devices and radios
• Household gadgets such as remote controls and clocks requiring C/HR14 cells
• Measurement tools and instruments with C-size battery compartments

Key specifications

• Battery chemistry: Nickel‑Metal Hydride (NiMH)
• Cell size: C (HR14)
• Nominal voltage: 1.2 V
• Rated capacity: 4500 mAh
• Rechargeable: yes, multiple cycles
• Designed for moderate to high drain loads
• Reduced self-discharge compared to older NiMH types

How to use

Install the cell into the device’s C/HR14 battery compartment observing correct polarity. Charge the battery before first use and follow the charger manufacturer’s instructions appropriate for NiMH chemistry and C-size cells. Use a charger with the correct charging current for the rated capacity to avoid shortened life; avoid charging with incompatible charger types. When the battery is discharged, remove it from the device and recharge promptly to maintain performance.

Usage recommendations

For longest service life, use a dedicated NiMH-compatible charger with temperature or delta‑V cut-off and avoid deep discharge whenever possible. Store batteries in a cool, dry place and recharge them every few months if left unused to prevent excessive self-discharge. Do not expose the cells to high temperatures or open flames and dispose of according to local regulations for rechargeable batteries.
