The size and format of a battery is crucial in buying criteria. All questions are answered in this Battery Size chart. If you make a mistake in the dimensions of your battery it will not fit into the machine or tool you want, and will be unusable. The size chart list down all batteries dimensions and formats you can check the size or the code of the format of the battery.

Go directly to the frequently asked questions on battery sizes

Like in any dimension and size regulations, there’s an international standard, set up by IEC but in Anglo-Saxon countries batteries sizes are determined in letters (AA, AAA C, D, etc.), while in other countries a combination of a letter and digit (AA, Lr20, 6Lr61) is used.

Here are the most commonly used batteries sizes in the world

most common battery sizes that are used worldwide

Generally, the larger the battery is, the more capacity it has for energy storage. So even though a big and small battery are both rated at 1.5V, the big battery stores more energy and provides a longer battery life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Battery sizes

Which Battery is bigger? C or D battery?

D-sized Batteries are bigger than C-size batteries. Both size batteries are larger than AA and AAA batteries. C-Batteries are 50mm or 1.97 inches in length. 26.2mm or 1.03 inches in diameter. D-Batteries are 61 mm or 2.4 inches in length and 32.0 mm or 1.26 inches in diameter

Which battery is smaller AA or AAA?

AAA batteries are smaller compared to AA. AAA-Batteries are 45mm or 1.77 inches in length 10.5 mm or 0.41 inches in diameter. AA-Batteries are 48 mm or 1.89 inches in length and 14.5 mm or 0.57 inches in diameter

What is the diameter of a AA battery?

An AA cell measures 48–50.5 mm (1.94–1.99 in) in length, including the button terminal—and 14.5 mm (0.53–0.57 in) in diameter.
