Description
This is a box of ten Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA cells. Each one is a 1.5V cell with lithium chemistry, so it sits in the same compartment as an ordinary AA alkaline and gives the same nominal voltage, with nothing in the device to change. The chemistry is what separates it from the alkaline version: lithium primary cells are light in the hand and hold their charge well in storage, and the retail pack prints a 20 year shelf life. The cells arrive in one printed box of ten.
These are the cells to reach for where the battery compartment is awkward to get at, or where a flat cell is more than an inconvenience: ceiling mounted smoke alarms, wireless door and window sensors, outdoor trail cameras, GPS trackers, digital thermometers and the handsets that sit in a drawer for months between uses. A box of ten covers a whole house of sensors in one round, or keeps a working set in a camera bag with spares behind it. Anything marked AA or LR6 takes them.
One unit of this listing is a box of ten cells, and the minimum order is twelve boxes, sold in multiples of twelve, which comes to 120 cells in all: worth knowing if you are buying for a site, a school or a rental portfolio rather than a single drawer. These are single use cells rather than rechargeables, so spent cells go to a battery collection point rather than back on charge. Alongside them we stock Energizer alkaline cells in AA, AAA, C, D and 9V, plus lithium coin cells, so one order can cover most of what a building runs on.

Frequently Asked
Will these fit anything that currently takes an AA alkaline?
Yes. They are the same AA size and the same 1.5V nominal output, so they drop straight into any compartment marked AA or LR6.
How many cells do I receive, and what is the minimum order?
One unit is a printed box of ten cells. The minimum order is twelve boxes, sold in multiples of twelve, so 120 cells in total.
Can these be recharged?
No. They are single use lithium cells with no charge cycle, so fit fresh ones when they run flat and take the spent cells to a battery recycling point.
How long can I keep spares before I need them?
The retail pack prints a 20 year shelf life, so a box bought for a set of sensors can sit in a cupboard until the first one needs changing.
What sort of devices suit lithium AA cells best?
Anything awkward to reach or carried outdoors: smoke alarms, wireless sensors, trail cameras, trackers and rarely used handsets all suit them well.
