    D batteries are fine, but C batteries are not common here. We have 2 cat feeders that use 4 C batteries. If they are empty I need to order new ones on the interwebs, they just don’t have them in stores here. We now have same spare of course. But pretty annoying the first time.

    But maybe if they are just in more stuff I can buy them in a store here.

      I have a flashlight that uses 4 C batteries and just purchased a rechargeable ones, could that be an option?

      I don’t know if this is global phenomenon or just US, but 25 years ago when I lived in Europe C and D batteries were as popular as AA. But yeah, I don’t see much of C and D in local US stores.
