Description
Twelve AAA alkaline cells on one card, from the Simply range by Duracell. AAA is the slim cylindrical cell, the one most remote controls and small handsets take, and it is catalogued as LR03 under the international code and as MN2400 in Duracell's own numbering. Both codes are printed on the card, which is the quickest way to check a cell you are about to replace. Alkaline is single-use chemistry at 1.5 volts nominal, the standard for this size and type.
Twelve is a household quantity rather than a single replacement. It covers the television and set-top remotes, the wall clock, a wireless mouse and keyboard, the kitchen scale, a door chime and the toys that always seem to want two at once, and still leaves a few in the drawer for next time. The card is marked open and close at the tab, so the cells you have not used yet stay held in place rather than rolling loose. Keeping them in the card also keeps the terminals apart, which is worth doing with any cell that would otherwise sit beside keys or coins.
Before you order, take out the old cell and read the small print along its side: anything marked LR03, MN2400 or simply AAA is this size. Alkaline cells are not rechargeable, so they are replaced rather than topped up, and it is worth changing a whole set at once instead of mixing a fresh cell with a tired one, because the weakest cell in a device sets the pace for the rest. One unit of this listing is the card of twelve, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12. We stock other Duracell cells alongside this one, including lithium coin sizes such as CR2032, CR2016 and CR1620, LR44 alkaline button cells and silver oxide watch cells.

Frequently Asked
How do I check that my device takes AAA and not AA?
Slide out the old cell and read its side. AAA cells are marked LR03, MN2400 or AAA, and they are noticeably slimmer and shorter than an AA.
Can these be recharged once they run down?
No. These are alkaline cells, which are single use and are replaced rather than recharged. Rechargeable AAA cells are a separate NiMH product and are bought as such.
How many cells do I actually receive?
One unit of this listing is a card holding twelve AAA cells. The minimum order is 12 units, bought in multiples of 12 cards.
Can I mix one of these with the cells already in a device?
Better not to. A fresh cell paired with a partly used one will be held back by the older cell, so change the whole set together.
