(published on ) Follow-Up #1: Batteries in series vs. So if you have 2 D batteries in series, you have 3 volts. Duracell D batteries are multi-purpose alkaline batteries ideal for reliably powering everyday devices. If you needs lots of current and try to get it from a tiny battery, it won't work as well.Īs for adding them together, you'll notice that in most electronics, you put them in so that the positive end of one touched the negative of the other. A D cell is cylindrical with an electrical contact at each end the positive end has a nub or bump.

A D battery ( D cell or IEC R20) is a standardized size of a dry cell. D cell batteries, wooden matchstick for scale. The D cell batteries can give more current than the C batteries. D battery A carbon-zinc D battery, positive terminal up. Some electronics need lots more current but don't need more voltage. 1-24 of 252 results for 'D Batteries' RESULTS Amazon's Choice Amazon Basics 12 Pack D Cell All-Purpose Alkaline Batteries, Easy to Open Value Pack Single Use 12 Count (Pack of 1) 90,166 12 56 (1.05/Count) 15.49 11. And current is like the amount of water flowing down the pipe. The voltage is like the water pressure which pushes things down the pipe. The classical way you hear them talked about is by comparing them to a pipe with water in it. In an electrical circuit or device, there are 2 really important things.

But there is a big difference between them all. If they're the same voltage, why not just use all AAA batteries and make things lighter and smaller. That makes you wonder what the difference is. You're right, C and D batteries both are 1.5 volts.
