Description
The JCB AA LR6 Super Alkaline Battery is a 1.5V alkaline cell designed for high and medium-drain devices, supplied in a 4-pack blister. The AA (LR6) size fits standard battery compartments in remote controls, wireless keyboards, portable radios, flashlights, clocks, and battery-powered toys. JCB claims up to 30% longer runtime than standard alkaline cells in equivalent drain conditions.
Designed for household and light commercial use, these batteries suit devices that draw moderate continuous current or intermittent high current, such as TV remotes with backlighting, wireless computer peripherals, LED torches, and children's electronic toys. The cells maintain voltage output in low-temperature environments, making them suitable for outdoor torches, garage door remotes, and garden sensor lights used year-round in UK conditions.
The blister pack contains four cells with a claimed shelf life of up to 7 years when stored at room temperature, allowing the batteries to be kept as spares without significant self-discharge. Each cell weighs approximately 23g and measures 50.5mm in length by 14.5mm in diameter, matching the IEC LR6 standard for AA alkaline cells. The JCB branding reflects the construction equipment manufacturer's licensed battery range.

Frequently Asked
What devices are these batteries suitable for?
These AA alkaline cells suit remote controls, wireless keyboards and mice, LED torches, clocks, portable radios, and battery-powered toys. They perform well in both high-drain devices like digital cameras (though rechargeable NiMH cells are more economical for very high drain) and medium-drain devices like TV remotes and wall clocks.
How long do they last in storage?
JCB claims a shelf life of up to 7 years when stored at room temperature in the original packaging. Actual storage life depends on temperature and humidity — cooler, drier storage extends shelf life.
Can they be used in outdoor devices in winter?
Yes. These super alkaline cells maintain voltage output in low-temperature conditions better than zinc-carbon batteries, making them suitable for outdoor sensor lights, garage door remotes, and torches used in cold UK weather.
Are these batteries rechargeable?
No. These are single-use alkaline cells and must not be recharged. Attempting to recharge alkaline batteries can cause leakage, overheating or rupture. For rechargeable AA cells, look for NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) options.
