Description
Ten AA alkaline cells in a single hanging pack, from the Duracell Plus Power With Power Boost Actives line. AA is the most widely used household battery size, and these cells answer to the trade codes LR6 and MN1500, the second of which is printed on the pack. Alkaline chemistry gives a nominal 1.5V per cell, which is what almost every AA powered device is built around. The pack states up to 150% extra life with Power Boost Actives.
Ten is a household quantity rather than a single swap. Television remotes, wireless mice and keyboards, wall clocks, kitchen scales, games controllers, torches and children's toys mostly take AA in pairs or fours, so one pack covers several devices and leaves a spare or two in the drawer. Where a device takes more than one cell, change them all at the same time and keep them together as a set: a part used cell dragged back into service pulls the fresh ones down with it. Leaving the cells in their card until they are needed also stops loose ones shorting against keys or coins.
Alkaline cells are primary cells: they are used once and are not designed to be recharged, so if you want something you can put back on charge, look at rechargeable NiMH AA cells and a charger instead. Keep spares somewhere dry at ordinary room temperature, and take the cells out of anything that is going away in a cupboard for months. One unit of this listing is one pack of ten, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12. This sits alongside our wider Duracell range, which runs from an AA eight pack through CR2032 and CR2016 lithium coin cells and LR44 alkaline cells to AA and AAA chargers.

Frequently Asked
My device asks for LR6 or MN1500. Is that the same as AA?
Yes. LR6 is the international code for an AA alkaline cell and MN1500 is the code printed on this pack, so all three names describe the same size and shape of cell.
How many cells do I actually receive?
One unit is a pack of ten cells. The minimum order on this listing is 12 units sold in multiples of 12, so a first order brings 120 cells in total.
Can these be put on a charger?
No. These are alkaline primary cells, made to be used once. If you want cells you can recharge, choose rechargeable NiMH AA cells and a suitable charger rather than these.
Can I mix these with the cells already in my remote?
We would not. Change every cell in a device at the same time and keep a matched set, because one part used cell limits how much work the fresh ones can do.
Does the pack print a shelf life figure?
No shelf life is printed on this pack and the manufacturer does not state one here, so we do not quote a figure. The pack does state up to 150% extra life with Power Boost Actives.
What sort of devices are these best suited to?
Everyday household items that draw modestly and are used often: remotes, clocks, scales, torches, wireless mice and keyboards, games controllers and battery powered toys that take AA cells.
