Description
This is a four cell pack of Energizer AAA alkaline batteries from the Alkaline Power range. AAA is the slim penlight size, noticeably narrower and shorter than an AA, and it carries the IEC code LR03. Each cell gives the standard 1.5V that alkaline chemistry produces, which is what almost every household device designed for disposable cells expects. The retail pack states a 7 year shelf life, so a spare pack kept in a drawer is still worth reaching for long after the day you bought it.
AAA is the size that tends to run out at the least convenient moment. It sits in television and set top box remotes, wireless keyboards and mice, wall clocks, kitchen scales, digital thermometers, children's toys and the small torches people keep in a car or a kitchen drawer. Because those devices are scattered around a house rather than grouped together, buying four at a time and keeping them in one place is usually more useful than buying one. If you are unsure which size a device takes, look inside the battery compartment: the moulding is normally marked AAA or LR03.
Each unit of this listing is one card of four cells, and the minimum order is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12, which comes to 48 cells. That suits an office, a rental property, a school or a shop that wants a stock on the shelf rather than a single pack. Alkaline cells are not rechargeable, so they should never go into a charger; if you want cells you can top up again, NiMH rechargeables are the thing to look for. Spent cells belong at a battery recycling point rather than in the household rubbish. We also stock Energizer Alkaline Power cells in AA, C, D and 9V, so one order can cover every size in the house.

Frequently Asked
Which devices take AAA cells?
Remotes, wireless keyboards and mice, wall clocks, kitchen scales, digital thermometers, small torches and many children's toys run on AAA. The compartment is usually marked AAA or LR03.
Is LR03 the same as AAA?
Yes. LR03 is the IEC code for an alkaline AAA cell, so a device that asks for LR03 or AAA takes exactly these.
How many cells do I actually receive?
One unit of this listing is a card of four AAA cells. The minimum order is 12 units, so a first order brings 48 cells in total.
Can these be recharged?
No. Alkaline chemistry is single-use, so never put these cells in a charger. Choose NiMH rechargeable cells if you want to top them up again.
How long will a spare pack keep?
The retail pack states a 7 year shelf life. Kept somewhere dry and at normal room temperature, a spare card stays ready for the day you need it.
What voltage does each cell give?
Each AAA alkaline cell gives 1.5V, the standard output for this chemistry, which is what any device built for disposable cells is designed around.
