Description
These are AA alkaline cells from JCB's Ultra Alkaline line, ten of them on one hanging card. Each cell runs at the standard 1.5V and carries the codes AA, LR6 and MN1500, printed on the cells and the card. Those three names all describe the same barrel cell, which helps when a manual quotes one code and the cell in your hand carries another. Alkaline is the everyday chemistry for household kit: it stores well and suits most things that take a disposable cell.
Ten is a household quantity rather than a top-up. That covers four in a child's toy, a pair in the television remote, a pair in a wall clock and two left in the drawer. Alkaline AA suits the steady low and medium draw of remotes, clocks, torches, wireless keyboards and mice, radios and door chimes, and it will run heavier items such as a games controller, though those empty a cell faster whatever the brand. The retail pack points at cameras and MP3 players, and it prints "up to ten times more power" without naming what that is measured against, so read it as the manufacturer's own claim.
The minimum order here is ten, in multiples of ten, so a single order brings a hundred cells, which makes sense for a workshop, a classroom, a holiday let or anyone who would rather not think about batteries again this year. Keep spares in their card somewhere dry and out of direct heat, and change every cell in a device at once rather than mixing a fresh one with a tired one, because the weakest cell sets the pace for the whole set. We stock JCB cells in other sizes too, including AAA, D and 9V, plus CR2032 and LR44 coin cells.

Frequently Asked
Is LR6 the same as MN1500?
Yes. AA, LR6 and MN1500 are three names for the same 1.5V alkaline barrel cell, and all three appear on this pack.
What sort of devices are these suited to?
Anything that calls for a 1.5V AA cell: remote controls, wall clocks, torches, radios, wireless keyboards and mice, door chimes, toys and games controllers.
How many cells do I actually receive?
One pack holds ten cells. The minimum order is ten packs, sold in multiples of ten, so the smallest order is one hundred cells.
Are these rechargeable?
No. Alkaline cells are single use and should not be put in a charger. If you want rechargeable AA, our JCB Recharge AA cells are the ones to look at.
