what is the difference between "C" batteries that are copper top & procell
405696
No idea if there is actually a difference or simply a marketing tactic, but in my area, the pro cells are sold only at places like hardware stores. They tend to be in bulk packages which may be the only difference. I'd like to think they have more juice but i don't have any evidence of this.

In my estimation, the difference is in only the name. I have used the PROCELL extensively and have not noticed any difference. Good luck!

Re: Duracell Procell vs regular Duracell...any difference?For product manufactured in the US, we have been told by our Gillette reps that there is no difference between "Procell" and regular Duracell Coppertop.The only problem we have is we can often buy regular Duracell consumer packs on sale at a retailers with a per cell price, cheaper than we buy Procell direct.

I am no expert on batteries, but I can tell you the battery life on the procell battery was double, if not triple of any other battery I have bought.

I guess I don't know what protected/unprotected lithium cells are. I can tell you that the one that came with my radio didn't last very long and the new one I ordered doesn't appear that it is going to be much better. It is suppose to be 3.7 volts but neither of them lasted very long. I can only get to to charge up to 3.58 volts by hand. I know that the crank is running the voltage up to the 5 to 6 volt range, so it should charge higher. Not sure what I will do now? Don't know where I can buy another battery this size at 3.7 volts?

I've been using them (the original eneloop batteries) in my Fuji semi-pro HD camera (photos and movies) for past two years and they appear to last slightly longer than the alkaline Duracell copper top batteries. Currently, testing Panasonic eneloop batteries in my Panasonic pro camera and first usage is better than original eneloop batteries. Note: My Panasonic camera is not HD.

I've had problems with button top batteries in my mods. Flat top seems to be the only ones that work honestly. I have use these batteries in my sigelei zmax.

I'm using AA Duracell Coppertop at present but I will switch to Energizer Ultimate lithium after my next trip to the market. They last much longer and are much more cost efficient for cameras. Hope this helps.

The 4400mAH is a six cell battery, the 7800mAH is nine cells. The nine cell battery is obviously bigger, which will give additional runtime over the six cell. The larger battery will create a small bulge along the back edge of your laptop when sitting on a flat surface. Not a problem unless you have a very snug fitting carry case.

I went to the duracell website and pulled the spec sheets for the PC1500 and the MN1500 which are the Procell and Coppertop versions and found that specifications and all performance charts (six of them) are identical. You can find them here:http://www1.duracell.com/procell/productdata/# (if the link is removed just google: duracell procell batteries overview)I think they are positioned for different market segments. Consumer or industry. The procells are not retail packed.

The Procell line by Duracell is essentially the same battery that is marketed to consumers (coppertop), but made to more "rigorous" standards as the Procell line is marketed for industrial use (this comes from the Duracell site). With that being said, it looks like more of a marketing gimmick because the only difference I can see is the sticker on the outside of the battery and the box.

These are better than the black label ones, in my opinion. However, I still don't get as good a battery life as I do with the brand name copper-top batteries.

The size difference is not evident to the naked eye (I did a side-by-side and couldn't tell any significant difference). The APC battery has a plastic shield on the positive connection tab, but other than that the two batteries appear to have the same form factor. I simply hooked it up, slotted it in, and it's working fine. The fit is excellent.

The C rating is the rate of Amps at which the battery can discharge in a continuous burst. To do the math to get 1C which is for charging (don't charge higher than 1C) you take the mAh and divide by 1,000. In this case, 10,000 mAh (milliamperes per hour) divided by 1,000 will have a charge rate at 10 Amps. To see the safe discharge rate you multiply the 10 Amps by 35C and it can discharge at a rate of 350 Amps safely without damaging the battery. BTW this battery is like having two 5,000mAh batteries stacked on top of each other. It's a large battery.

They are the same batteries. I guess they chose different colors to make it easier for you to seperate which batteries are charged and which need recharging after you stert usiung them.

I personally have no idea what the manufacture did that makes these any different. I do know that I purchased them in the past, and had very good luck with them, and the price is a lot better on these Pro Cells.

This one uses 3 c cells. Both of the C cell toys we bought our cat failed almost immediately. We found another for more money that uses AA cells and it works.

The difference are the batteries, the charger has the same model # BQ-CC17. The "pro" batteries have a capacity of 2450mAh but only 500 recharge cycles, the "non pro" batteries have a capacity of 2000mAh but the famous ____2100____ recharge cycles. The charger is slow, but that is the method Panasonic uses to get 2100 cycles. So it is a trade off, more power for the same time period, 25% more, (or same power for 25% longer) but at 500 recharge cycles versus 2100 cycles. Hope that helps CC

I use Duracell coppertop in all my battery products including the chime door bell. They last the longest of other top brands.

If the batterys have the good gauge on them, they won't work. Copper tops are not usually used in cameras. I use the Duracell extreme silver colored battery, you will get 100-150 more pbotos out of tjem.
