Description
These are Eveready Gold alkaline AAA cells, supplied as a retail box of thirty. AAA is the slim cell, narrower than an AA, and it is the size most small electronics take: television and set-top remotes, wall clocks, wireless mice and keyboards, kitchen scales and slim LED torches. Each cell gives a nominal 1.5 volts and carries the IEC code LR03, the designation moulded into a battery compartment or printed in a manual. Alkaline is the standard single-use chemistry, and the pack states these last up to four times longer than carbon zinc, measured on IEC minimum average duration.
A box of thirty is a household or small-office quantity rather than a checkout grab. It suits the kitchen drawer everything comes back to, and it suits the places that get through cells quickly: children's toys, a busy office full of wireless keyboards, a village hall, a holiday let where the remote control goes flat between guests. Buying at this size mostly saves the trip rather than the money. The Gold range also runs in AA, C, D and 9V, so a single drawer can be stocked consistently.
Store the cells you are not using in the box, somewhere dry and at room temperature, and keep them away from loose coins and keys so nothing bridges the two ends. Do not mix them with part-used cells or with a different chemistry in the same device: the stronger cell ends up driving the weaker one, and that is what brings on leaks. The manufacturer prints no shelf life figure on this box. One unit of this listing is a single box of thirty cells; the minimum order is 30, sold in multiples of 30. Alkaline cells are not rechargeable, so when they are flat they go to a battery recycling point rather than the household bin.

Frequently Asked
Is LR03 the same thing as AAA?
Yes. LR03 is the IEC code for the alkaline AAA cell, so a device asking for either will take these.
How many cells do I actually receive, and what is the minimum order?
One unit of this listing is a retail box holding 30 cells. The minimum order is 30 units, sold in multiples of 30.
Can these cells be recharged?
No. These are single-use alkaline cells, so once they are flat they are replaced rather than put on a charger.
Does the pack print a shelf life or an expiry date?
The manufacturer prints no shelf life figure on this box, so we state none. Individual cells may carry a date stamp.
Can I put one of these in beside a cell that is already part used?
Better not to. Fit a full set of matching cells at the same time, as a stronger cell driving a tired one is what causes leaks.
What else does the Gold range cover?
We stock Eveready Gold in AA, AAA, C, D and 9V, which between them cover remotes, toys, torches, clocks and most smoke alarms.
