Energizer Max Plus AAA Batteries (LR03) - 10 Pack

This is a pack of ten AAA alkaline cells from the Energizer Max Plus range. AAA is the slim cell, roughly the width of a pencil, and it carries the international code LR03, so if the spent cell in your device reads LR03 or Micro, this is the same size and chemistry. Each cell gives the 1.5 volts that every alkaline AAA delivers, so there is no compatibility question beyond the size itself. The front of the pack prints a 12 year shelf life, which is a figure for unused cells sitting in a drawer rather than a claim about how long they run inside a device.

AAA is the cell behind most of the small things scattered around a home: television and set top box remotes, wall clocks, wireless keyboards and mice, kitchen scales, digital thermometers, head torches and a good deal of what children unwrap at Christmas. Ten in a pack is a sensible household quantity, because AAA devices usually take two or three at a time and we would not put a fresh cell in beside a part used one. Keep the card together in a drawer and a flat remote becomes a two minute job rather than a hunt.

One unit of this listing is the card of ten cells, and the minimum order is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12, so the smallest purchase brings 120 cells. That suits an office, a school, a holiday let or anyone who would rather buy batteries once a year. Alkaline is a primary chemistry, so these cells are not made to be recharged; plan for spares instead. Store them at room temperature and away from loose coins and keys, and leave them in the card until the day they go in. We stock Energizer alkaline cells in AA, C, D and 9V sizes as well.

My device asks for LR03 or Micro cells. Will these fit?

Yes. LR03 is the international code for an AAA alkaline cell and Micro is the older name for the same size, so all three words describe this cell.

How many cells do I actually receive?

One unit of this listing is a card of ten AAA cells. The minimum order is 12 units sold in multiples of 12, which works out at 120 cells.

Can I recharge these once they are flat?

No. Alkaline is a primary chemistry and these cells are not designed to be recharged, so keep a spare card in the drawer rather than a charger.

What does the 12 year shelf life printed on the pack mean?

The pack states 12 years. That figure covers unused cells kept in storage; it is not a measure of how long one cell will run a device.

Can I use one of these where a device asks for AA?

No. AA is a fatter and longer cell, so it will not sit in an AAA compartment. Check the marking moulded into the battery bay before ordering.

How do these compare with the AAA cells in the Alkaline Power range?

Both are 1.5 volt AAA alkaline cells and fit the same devices. The ranges differ and so does the quantity, as our Alkaline Power AAA listing comes as 20.
