Energizer Alkaline Power AA Batteries (LR6) - 4 Pack

These are four AA alkaline cells from the Energizer Alkaline Power range, supplied on a single retail card. AA is the cylinder most household gadgets take, listed in the trade under the IEC code LR6, and each cell gives the standard 1.5 volts that alkaline chemistry produces. The pack states a 7 year shelf life, so a set bought now and put in a drawer should still have power in it when you reach for it. Alkaline is the everyday chemistry: no charging, no conditioning, straight out of the card and into the device.

AA is the size that turns up everywhere, so a card of four covers most of what asks for batteries around the house. Television and set top box remotes usually take two, as do wireless keyboards, computer mice and game pads, which makes a four pack two full changes. Wall clocks, kitchen scales, thermometers, torches and children's toys are the other regulars. If you are fitting a device that takes more than one cell, change the whole set together rather than mixing a fresh cell with a tired one, since the weakest cell sets the pace for the rest.

Each listing here is one card of four cells, and the minimum order is 12 cards, sold in multiples of 12, which comes to 48 cells in the smallest order we can take. That suits a workplace, a rental property, a school or anyone who would rather keep a shelf stocked than buy a pair at a time. Keep spares in their card at normal room temperature, and take the old cells out of anything you are putting away for a season. We also stock the Alkaline Power AAA, C and D sizes, the Alkaline Power 9V PP3, and AA in an 8 pack.

Will these fit anything that takes AA batteries?

Yes. AA is a standard size and these are standard 1.5V alkaline AA cells, so they suit any device whose compartment or manual calls for AA or LR6.

What does the 7 year shelf life on the pack mean?

It is the manufacturer's claim for how long an unopened cell holds useful power while stored, so spares kept in a cool dry drawer stay ready for years.

Can these be recharged?

No. Alkaline cells are made for a single life and must never go on a charger. If you want cells you can top up again, choose rechargeable NiMH AA instead.

How many cells do I receive, and how many must I order?

One listing is a card of four cells. The minimum order is 12 cards in multiples of 12, so the smallest order brings you 48 cells in total.

What is LR6?

LR6 is the international code for an alkaline AA cell. Some equipment manuals and older devices print the code rather than the letter size, but it is the same battery.
