This is a standard Alkaline C cell from Varta.

This is typically Alkaline discharge curves that are very depend on current.

Performance looks to be about the same as the other Alkaline C I have tested.

Thanks for the test!

It is amazing how poorly alkalines do under higher current loads - looks like a Eneloop Pro AA has more energy when you get to 1 Amp.
