Description
This is a twelve cell pack of Energizer Max AA alkaline batteries, made up of eight cells plus four bonus cells on the same card. Each one is a standard AA, the IEC LR6 size, at a nominal 1.5 volts, which is what the great majority of household battery compartments are built around. The pack prints a ten year shelf life, so a card put away in a drawer today should still have plenty left in it by the time you finally reach for the spares.
AA is the size that turns up almost everywhere: television and set top box remotes, wireless keyboards and mice, wall clocks, kitchen scales, blood pressure monitors, children's toys, games controllers and handheld torches. Alkaline chemistry suits that sort of steady, moderate draw, and having twelve cells to hand means you can do the whole house in one pass rather than hunting for a single cell when a remote gives up on a Sunday evening. Loose cells can short against keys and coins, so it is worth leaving the spares in their card until a device actually needs them.
It is also worth changing every cell in a device at the same time rather than topping up a tired set with one fresh one, since the weakest cell sets the pace. One unit of this listing is the twelve cell pack, and the minimum order is 12, sold in multiples of 12, so this is a trade quantity rather than a single card off a shelf. That suits an office, a letting agency or a school stock cupboard more than a one off replacement. We also list Energizer alkaline cells in AAA, C, D and 9V, so one order can cover the other compartments in the building.

Frequently Asked
How many batteries are on one card?
Twelve AA cells in total on a single card, made up of eight cells plus four bonus cells, all the same alkaline type.
Will these fit a device marked LR6 or R6?
Yes. AA, LR6 and R6 all name the same cell size, so anything marked with those and 1.5V takes these batteries.
Are these suitable for a high drain device such as a camera flash?
They will work, but any alkaline cell empties faster under short, heavy bursts of current. Rechargeable NiMH cells are the usual answer for that sort of use.
Can I recharge them once they are flat?
No. These are single use alkaline cells and are not built to be put on a charger. Replace them as a full set rather than mixing old and new.
How long will unused cells keep?
The pack states a ten year shelf life. Store the spare card somewhere cool and dry, still sealed, and keep cells away from loose metal objects.
