Description
These are AA lithium cells from the Energizer Ultimate Lithium range, supplied four to a card as a 3 plus 1 bonus pack, so you pay for three and receive four. Each cell is a 1.5V unit and the pack carries the code AA-FR06, the code that identifies a lithium AA. Lithium is a different chemistry from the everyday alkaline cell, and the pack prints a 25 year shelf life, which is how long the manufacturer says the cells will keep in storage before you come to need them.
AA is the most common cell size in the house, so these fit the same slots as any other AA: torches, wall clocks, remote controls, wireless keyboards and mice, game controllers, digital cameras, radios, and the battery compartments on outdoor sensors and trail cameras. Lithium is the chemistry people reach for when equipment sits unused for months and has to work first time, and for kit taken outdoors in the cold, because lithium cells hold their voltage well at low temperatures. At 1.5V they drop straight into anything designed for alkaline AA cells, with no adapter and no change to the device.
One unit of this listing is a card of four cells, and the minimum order is 12 cards, sold in multiples of 12, so the smallest purchase brings 48 cells in total. That suits a workshop, a letting business, a school or a village hall stocking up rather than someone topping up one remote control. The pack states that the steel casing uses up to 10 percent recycled material, and that the cells are suitable for use in everyday devices. This listing sits alongside our wider range of Energizer cells, including AA and AAA alkaline, C, D and 9V alkaline, and lithium coin cells such as CR2032.

Frequently Asked
How many batteries do I actually get?
Four cells on each card. The pack is a 3 plus 1 bonus pack, so three are charged for and a fourth is included at no extra cost.
Will these work in anything that takes an ordinary AA battery?
Yes. They are standard AA size at 1.5V, the same size and voltage as an alkaline AA, so they fit and work in the same devices with no adapter.
What does the 25 year shelf life on the pack mean?
It is the storage life the manufacturer prints on the retail pack, so a spare card kept in a drawer should still be usable years after you buy it.
What is FR06 on the pack?
FR06 is the code for a lithium AA cell. If a device manual asks for FR6, FR06 or simply a 1.5V AA lithium, this is that cell.
Can these be recharged?
The pack gives no charging instruction and these are lithium cells, not rechargeable ones. For cells you can charge, we list an Energizer charger supplied with AA rechargeable batteries.
Why is the smallest order 12?
This line is sold to us in trade quantities, so the listing moves in multiples of 12 cards. Ordering 12 cards brings 48 AA cells in total.
