This model is not currently offered as a verified ready to buy print.
What it does
- Cylinder shape matches a C battery slot so your AA battery can sit inside it
- Thin wall design keeps the adapter simple and easy to slide into place
- Open ends let battery contacts line up with the slot for a plain fit
- Made for household gear that takes C batteries but you only have AA on hand
- Simple round profile fits standard C battery compartments
AA to C Battery Adapter sits inside a C battery slot and gives your AA battery a place to fit. It is shaped as a plain cylinder, open at both ends so the battery can slide in and its contacts can reach the terminals.
This adapter is built for anyone who owns a flashlight, radio, or other device that calls for a C battery, but only has AA batteries at home. Instead of buying a new size, you just add this piece around your AA battery to change its shape to match the bigger slot.
The design keeps things simple with a thin wall so the cylinder stays light and easy to handle. It is a small helper for a common mismatch, made to fit right into your existing battery compartment.

Printed plastic is strong for its size, but it is not metal. We have not load tested this design, so we do not publish a weight rating. Keep it out of a hot car and away from open flame.
