Energizer Max AA Batteries (LR6) - 16 Pack

Energizer Max AA cells arrive sixteen to a pack, which is enough to refill most of the battery-hungry items in a house in one go. AA is the standard cylindrical cell that the majority of household electronics are built around, and the alkaline chemistry here gives the familiar 1.5V nominal output that devices expecting a AA are designed for. Many appliance labels and manuals print the international code rather than the household name, so if the compartment or the instruction leaflet says LR6, this is the cell it is asking for. Max is the range name Energizer prints on the pack.

Sixteen cells suit the places AA gets used in pairs and fours: remote controls, wall clocks, wireless keyboards and mice, games controllers, children's toys, digital kitchen scales, blood pressure monitors and torches. Keeping a pack of this size in a drawer means you are not hunting for two cells on a Sunday evening when a remote dies. It also suits an office, a holiday let or a classroom where several people draw on the same supply. Where a device takes more than one cell, replace the whole set together rather than mixing fresh cells with part-used ones, because the weakest cell sets the pace for the rest.

The pack prints a 10 year shelf life, so a spare pack bought now is still worth putting away rather than used straight off. The pack also notes that the cells include recycled materials. Alkaline cells are single use and are not built to be recharged, so a charger plays no part here. One unit is a single pack of 16 cells, and the minimum order is 6, sold in multiples of 6, which works out at 96 cells. We also stock Energizer alkaline cells in AAA, C, D, 9V, AAAA and coin sizes.

My device says it needs LR6 rather than AA. Is that the same cell?

Yes. LR6 is the international code for the AA alkaline cell, so a compartment or manual printing LR6 takes exactly this size and chemistry.

How many cells do I get, and how many packs do I have to buy?

One pack holds 16 cells. The minimum order on this listing is 6 packs, sold in multiples of 6, so the smallest order brings you 96 cells in total.

Can these be recharged in a battery charger?

No. These are single use alkaline cells rather than rechargeables, so they should not be put in a charger. Rechargeable AA cells are a separate product.

What does the 10 year shelf life on the pack mean in practice?

It is the period the pack states for unused cells kept in storage, which is why buying sixteen at once is sensible even if you only need two today.

How long will one cell run my remote or my games controller?

Energizer does not print per device runtime figures on this pack, so there is no hours figure to quote. Drain varies enormously between a wall clock and a controller.
