Comparing:
9V Battery
C Battery
A 9V battery (IEC designation 6LR61, commonly called PP3) is a rectangular battery measuring approximately 48.5mm x 26.5mm x 17.5mm with two snap terminals. Alkaline 9V cells output 9.0V nominal from six internal 1.5V cells in series, with typical capacity around 400-600 mAh.
A C battery (IEC designation LR14, ANSI 14A) measures 26.2mm in diameter and 50.0mm in length. Alkaline C cells output 1.5V nominal, with typical capacity in the range of roughly 6,000 to 8,000 mAh -- well above AA or AAA but less common in modern consumer electronics.
