Sized Cell
What happens when you substitutea same volt but different sized button cell battery in a device?
My spouse substituted a C cell for an LR44 and the device died within 7 days. He claims it was not the fault of the substituted cell battery - I claim it was! Who is correct and why?
The voltage should not have been an issue since C-type batteries are generally 1.5 volts, just as the LR44 batteries are. The main difference between these two batteries are capacity. C-type batteries have a larger capacity (i.e. they last longer) than the LR44. LR44 batteries are used for devices (e.g. an LED light) that have a lower drain than those that typically require C batteries (e.g. a Yamaha keyboard).
My main question is: HOW was a C battery substituted for an LR44 when C batteries are so much larger than LR44? Perhaps the failure has to do with the method by which such a substitution was made possible.
