Description
This pack holds twelve AAA alkaline cells from the Energizer Max range: eight cells plus four bonus cells on the same card. AAA is the slim cell, sometimes called a micro or a triple A, and each one here is a 1.5V alkaline carrying the IEC code LR03. If the cell you are replacing is marked LR03 or AAA, this is the size you want. Alkaline is the standard everyday primary chemistry, which means each cell is used once and then recycled rather than charged.
Twelve cells cover most of a house in one go. AAA is the size that tends to live in things drawing a small current over a long stretch: television and set top box remotes, wall clocks, wireless keyboards and mice, digital kitchen scales, door chimes, children's toys and small LED torches. It is also the cell that runs flat at the least convenient moment, so a drawer with spares in it is worth more than the couple of pounds it costs. Offices, holiday lets and classrooms tend to buy this size by the dozen for exactly that reason.
The retail pack prints a 10 year shelf life, so cells bought now and put away stay useful for years rather than months, and there is no need to fit the whole card at once. One unit of this listing is the single card of twelve cells; the minimum order is twelve cards, which works out at 144 cells, so it suits a stockroom or a shared cupboard more than a one off replacement. We also stock Energizer alkaline cells in AA, C, D and 9V, along with lithium and silver oxide coin cells, if the battery drawer needs filling out at the same time.

Frequently Asked
How many cells do I actually get?
Twelve AAA cells on one card, made up of eight standard cells plus four bonus cells, all the same size and chemistry.
Is LR03 the same thing as AAA?
Yes. LR03 is the IEC code for an alkaline AAA cell, so a device marked LR03 or AAA takes exactly these.
What sort of devices suit AAA alkaline cells?
Remotes, wall clocks, wireless keyboards and mice, kitchen scales, door chimes, children's toys and small LED torches are the usual homes for them.
Can these cells be recharged?
No. Alkaline cells are primary cells, used once and then recycled. Rechargeable duties call for NiMH cells and a charger instead.
How long will they keep if I store them?
The pack states a 10 year shelf life, so unopened spares put away in a drawer stay useful for years.
Why is the minimum order twelve?
This line is sold in trade multiples, so you buy twelve cards of twelve cells, which comes to 144 cells in total.
