Description
JCB AA LR6 Super Alkaline batteries deliver 1.5V output across a 10-cell pack, designed for both high-drain devices like digital cameras and torches, and medium-drain devices like remote controls, clocks and wireless keyboards. The alkaline chemistry provides a higher energy density than zinc-carbon cells, giving longer runtime in continuous-use applications.
Supplied in a blister pack of 10 cells, the batteries suit households stocking multiple devices, trade users needing reliable power for tools and meters, and facilities managers maintaining building systems. The pack dimensions of 180mm x 115mm x 5mm make storage straightforward in tool bags, van compartments or cupboard shelves. Each cell weighs approximately 23g, giving the full pack a total weight of 250g.
JCB positions these as lasting up to 30% longer than standard alkaline cells under identical load conditions, though real-world runtime depends on the specific device and usage pattern. The batteries maintain performance in low-temperature conditions down to -20°C, making them suitable for outdoor equipment, security devices and vehicles stored in unheated spaces. The extended shelf life of up to 7 years from manufacture date allows bulk purchasing without concern for degradation in storage.

Frequently Asked
What devices are these batteries suitable for?
AA alkaline batteries power most household and trade devices with an AA cell compartment: remote controls, wireless mice and keyboards, wall clocks, torches, toys, smoke alarms, digital cameras, portable radios, and handheld meters. High-drain devices like cameras and torches will drain cells faster than low-drain devices like clocks.
What is the shelf life?
JCB Super Alkaline batteries carry a shelf life of up to 7 years from the date of manufacture when stored at room temperature in the original packaging. This makes them suitable for emergency kits and bulk purchasing.
Can they be used in low-temperature environments?
Yes. These batteries maintain performance in temperatures down to -20°C, making them suitable for outdoor security equipment, vehicle emergency kits, and tools stored in unheated sheds or garages.
Are they rechargeable?
No. These are single-use alkaline cells and should not be placed in a battery charger. For rechargeable AA cells, look for NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries rated at 1.2V with mAh capacity ratings.
