I bought a pair of rechargeable C-cells to repair a cordless screwdriver
which wasn't working quite as well as it used to. To my annoyance, I
have just realised that the cells in the screwdriver are just a bit
thinner and shorter than C-cells.

Any idea what they are?

There are "sub-C" cells which are shorter than C cells. Haven't measured
them so I can't say they're thinner. They're commonly used in drills and
electric-powered model aircraft. See them he

Actual measurements would be useful.

Almost certainly known as Sub-C. Dunno why, but they're near universal for
power tools. Just to be awkward, I suppose. But they're easy enough to get
from even Maplin in both plain and tagged types and in a variety of
capacities - both Ni-Cad and NiMH.
