{"product_id":"eveready-gold-d-batteries-lr20-2-pack","title":"Eveready Gold D Batteries (LR20) - 2 Pack","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are D size alkaline cells from the Eveready Gold range, supplied two to a card. D is the biggest of the everyday cylindrical sizes, noticeably larger than a C, and it exists because some equipment wants more stored energy than a small cell can hold. Each one gives the standard 1.5 volts, so a D drops straight into any holder marked D or LR20 without changing anything else about how the appliance runs. The chemistry is alkaline rather than zinc carbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD cells belong in the heavier end of the house. Big rubber torches and camping lanterns take them, as do mains free radios, older portable players, some door chimes and a good number of children's ride on toys. If you are replacing cells, read what came out rather than guessing from the compartment: the marking on the old cell will read D or LR20, and either mark means this is the right size. Where a device takes two, four or six at once, change the whole set together so the cells discharge at the same rate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack states that these are ready to use up to ten years in storage, and that they last longer than Eveready Super Heavy Duty cells, the zinc carbon version of the same size. That storage figure matters most for a torch that sits in a drawer from one power cut to the next. One listing is a pack of two cells, and the minimum order is twelve, sold in multiples of twelve, so a full order brings twenty four cells to the shelf. We stock the Gold range in AA, AAA, C and 9V as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChemistry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlkaline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCodes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLR20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack quantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 cells\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShelf life as printed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe pack states ready to use up to 10 years in storage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold as\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack of 2 cells\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum order\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12, sold in multiples of 12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy torch says it takes R20 cells.

Cells at different states of charge drain unevenly, so replace every cell in the device at the same time for steadier running.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eveready","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53383750615307,"sku":"S11260","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/S11260_01.jpg?v=1790172025","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/eveready-gold-d-batteries-lr20-2-pack","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
