JCB Super Alkaline AA Batteries (LR6) - 10 Pack

This listing is a card of ten JCB AA cells. Each one is a 1.5V alkaline cell in the AA size, and each carries the codes LR6 and MN1500, the two references you will see quoted on device labels and in appliance manuals. Alkaline is the everyday primary chemistry: the cells arrive charged, they are used once rather than recharged, and they hold their voltage more steadily under moderate drain than the zinc carbon cells often supplied free inside a new clock or remote.

AA is the size that turns up everywhere, so a pack of ten rarely sits idle. Television and set top box remotes, wall clocks, wireless keyboards and mice, game controllers, kitchen scales, children's toys, torches and head torches, radios and cordless doorbell pushes all commonly run on it. Before you order, check the compartment on the device itself: it will name the size beside the contacts or on the underside, and a AA will not stand in for a AAA or a C. Ten cells is enough to fill several devices at once and still leave spares in the drawer.

One unit of this listing is the card of ten cells. The minimum order is 10, sold in multiples of 10, so the smallest purchase is ten cards, which suits a workshop or anyone restocking a stationery cupboard. JCB prints no shelf life figure on this pack, so we quote none. Keep the cells in their card until they are needed, store them somewhere dry at room temperature, and change a full set together rather than mixing part used cells with fresh ones. Alongside this pack we stock JCB AAA Super Alkaline in a 10 pack, D size in a 4 pack, 9V in a 3 pack and rechargeable AA in a 4 pack.

Is LR6 the same as AA?

Yes. LR6 is the international code for an alkaline AA cell, and MN1500 is the alternative reference some manuals and device labels use. Both are printed on this pack.

How many cells do I actually receive?

One unit is a card of ten cells. The minimum order on this listing is 10, sold in multiples of 10, so the smallest purchase is ten cards.

Can these cells be recharged?

No. These are single use alkaline cells, supplied charged and meant to be used once and then recycled. If you want rechargeables, we stock JCB Recharge AA in a 4 pack.

Will they run higher drain devices such as game controllers and torches?

Alkaline cells cope well with the moderate and intermittent drain of controllers, torches, toys and radios, though any primary cell runs down faster the harder a device pulls on it.

Can I mix these with the cells already in a device?

Better not to. Change a whole set together and keep the chemistry the same, because a part used cell will drag down the fresh ones sharing the compartment.
