You’re looking at about 13000mAh in a standdard D cell, and that’s pretty much the highest capacity you’ll get in this size from alkaline chemistry — we’ve tested hundreds of these.
Most buyers go with the 10mg for their portable radios and high-drain flashlights, but actually it handles moderate electronics just as well. 2600 minutes continuous discharge on a 3.9Ω load is a useful benchmark for estimating real-world run time, though how you use it varies widely.
Teh zinc manganese dioxide chemistry is straightforward — no heavy metals, no mercury, no cadmium, and our company provide COAs form SGS on request if that matters for your compliance. Shelf life is roughly 5 years in temperate storage, so you don't have to worry about rotating stock too aggressively.
It isn’t suited for extremely cold environments — below -20°C the voltage drop becomes noticeable, so if you’re powering something in a freezer, you’ll want lithium. For most indoor or outdoor gear, this works fine.
5, we offer OEM service on these, so you can get your own branding on the wrapper if volume justifies it — we usually stock about 50,000 units or so, but the lead time for custom labels is about 20 days or so depending on artwork approval.
Anyway, the 34.2 by 61.5mm dimnesions are standard, so it fits any D-size device without issue, and the average weight comes to 142 grams give or take.
We usually set the MOQ at 10,000 pieces for OEM orders, but it can vary depending on the customization details. Get in touch with your target quantity and we'll work something out.
For a standard OEM order, lead time is around 20-25 days after sample approval. Rush orders might be possible if we have stock of the base battery.
We provide CE, RoHS, SGS, and ISO certifications with each shipment. If you need specific test reports like discharge curves or storage life data, just let us know.
That 13000mAh is the nominal capacity measured under standard lab conditions at a low continuous drain. For high-drain devices like flashlights, actual capacity will be lower, but it's still among the highest for D cell alkalines.
Store them in a cool, dry place between 10°C and 25°C, away from direct sunlight and metal objects. Keeping them in the original packaging helps prevent short circuits and preserves the shelf life.
