Description
Max Plus is one of Energizer's alkaline lines, and this listing covers the AA size in a blister of four cells. Each one is a 1.5V alkaline cell carrying the code LR6, which is the number to check against if a device manual lists cell codes rather than letter sizes. The retail pack states a 15 year shelf life, and it prints a claim of up to 200 per cent longer lasting against the standard minimum average duration in high drain applications. Four cells is the quantity most household devices take at a time, so there is rarely an odd one left rolling about in the drawer.
AA is the most common household cell size, and these suit the everyday list: television and set top box remotes, wall clocks, kitchen scales, wireless keyboards and mice, digital thermometers, children's toys and torches. The longer lasting figure on the pack is quoted specifically against high drain use, so games controllers, motorised toys and camera flashes are the sort of thing the claim is written about. If a device asks for LR6, or simply for a 1.5V AA, this is that cell, and the brand name on the wrapper makes no difference to whether it fits.
One unit of this listing is a blister of four cells. Our minimum order is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12, which comes to 48 cells and suits a stockroom, a school or a letting agent rather than a single household. With a 15 year shelf life printed on the pack there is little penalty in holding spares, provided they are kept dry and at ordinary room temperature. Alkaline cells are primary cells and are not built to be recharged, and the pack carries multilingual warnings on that point and on fitting cells the right way round. Alongside these we also stock Energizer AA and AAA Alkaline Power in 20 packs, and C, D, 9V and coin cells.

Frequently Asked
What does the LR6 code mean?
LR6 is the international code for a 1.5V alkaline AA cell. If your device manual lists LR6 rather than AA, these are the correct cells for it.
How many cells do I actually receive?
One unit is a blister pack holding four cells. Our minimum order is 12 units in multiples of 12, so the smallest order is 48 cells.
Can these be recharged?
No. Alkaline cells are primary cells, designed to be used once and then recycled. The pack carries warnings against attempting to recharge them or fitting them reversed.
Are they suitable for high drain devices such as games controllers?
Yes. The pack quotes its up to 200 per cent longer lasting claim specifically against high drain use, measured versus the standard minimum average duration in those applications.
How long can I keep spares before using them?
The pack states a 15 year shelf life. Keep unopened blisters somewhere dry and at normal room temperature rather than in a shed or an unheated garage.
Will these fit anything that takes a standard AA?
Yes. AA is a fixed physical size and these are standard 1.5V AA cells, so they fit any compartment marked AA, LR6 or 1.5V AA.
