many rechargeable C batteries are repackaged AA batteries (in a bigger housing), so if you see a C with around 2500-2700 mAh, it is most likely one of those.

Subject: Re: Stus-List Rechargeable C cell batteries - Nicro solar vent 2800-3000 sounds low for a C cell since I've seen AAs with 2900. A quick search and I found the link below. Looks like 5000-6000 is in range. http://www.onlybatteries.com/c-nimh-rechargeable-batteries-14-2-112-1015.asp Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Nov 6, 2014 1:53 PM, "Dennis C. via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: The battery on my new style Nicro solar vent finally died (Nicro model N20703S). Seemed to last the 3-5 years in Nicro's literature. The manual states at least 2800 mAh C cell is needed. I replaced it with a Nuon 3000 mAh C cell from a local battery store. Now I'm researching them and find Nuon batteries don't get good reviews. Be interested in hearing listers experiences with other brands. Other brands are Powerizer, Tenergy, GLE, etc. Note: Must be minimum 2800 MaH. (For example: Energizers are only 2500). I'm assuming that less than 2800 would work but wouldn't work well in winter. Short days, long nights and cold temps would probably cause energy to run out in the wee hours. FYI: Changing the battery in the new style Nicro vents is a PIA. After you remove the 3 mounting screws, you have carefully pry the solar panels up to reveal the battery and change it. Flexing the panel is likely to crack it. Dennis C.
