What are D Batteries?

D batteries are a type of large cylindrical dry cell commonly used in devices that require a substantial amount of power. With a diameter of around 32mm and a length of 61mm, D batteries are often found in torches, portable radios, toys, and other high-drain electronics. They typically provide 1.5 volts of power and are available in both alkaline and rechargeable varieties. Their size and capacity make them ideal for devices that need long-lasting energy but aren’t suited for smaller, more compact batteries.

FAQ

What devices use D batteries?

D batteries are typically used in devices that require a lot of power over extended periods. Common examples include large torches, portable radios, toys, electric shavers, and some musical instruments.

Can I use rechargeable D batteries?

Yes, you can use rechargeable D batteries. These are typically nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries and offer a more eco-friendly option since they can be recharged multiple times. However, they may have slightly lower voltage and shorter runtime compared to regular alkaline D batteries.

How long do D batteries last?

The lifespan of a D battery depends on the device it's used in and how much power is required. In low-drain devices like a clock or remote control, they can last several months to a year. In high-drain devices, such as a torch, the battery may only last a few hours.

How do I store D batteries?

Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources or direct sunlight. It's important to store them in their original packaging or in a battery storage case to prevent short-circuiting.
