Description
This is a bumper card of eighteen JCB Super Alkaline AA cells, each one marked AA/LR6 and 1.5V. AA is the most widely used household size in the UK, and LR6 is the international code for the same cell, so if the battery you are replacing carries either marking, this card fits. Alkaline is the standard chemistry for everyday devices: it holds a usable voltage through most of its working life and copes well with the stop-start draw of something picked up, used for a minute and put down again.
Eighteen cells is a drawer-filling quantity rather than a single replacement, which makes this a sensible buy for a home running several AA devices at once. Television and set-top remotes, wall clocks, wireless mice and keyboards, torches, kitchen scales, digital thermometers, games controllers and a great many children's toys all draw on the same pot. Keeping a card in a kitchen drawer or a workshop tin turns a dead remote into a thirty second fix. The cells sit in two rows of nine on one card, each in its own pocket.
One unit of this listing is the full card of eighteen cells, and our minimum order is 12 cards, sold in multiples of 12, so it suits a shop, a site office or a workplace stores cupboard rather than a one-off swap. The card also prints the code MN1500 beside the AA marking, which is worth knowing if a device manual quotes that number instead of LR6. No shelf life figure is printed on the card, so we quote none. Alkaline cells are single use and are not designed to be recharged, so put spent ones in a battery recycling bin rather than a charger. We stock JCB cells in AAA, D, 9V and coin sizes as well, along with a rechargeable AA, if you are filling a drawer more widely.

Frequently Asked
How many batteries do I get in one pack?
One card holds eighteen AA cells in two rows of nine, so a single pack covers several devices at once.
Is LR6 the same as AA?
Yes. LR6 is the international code for the AA alkaline size, and both markings are printed on every cell here.
What sort of devices are these suited to?
Everyday items that take AA: remotes, wall clocks, torches, wireless keyboards and mice, kitchen scales, games controllers and most children's toys.
Can I recharge these cells?
No. Alkaline is a single use chemistry and these cells are not built for charging, so replace them and recycle the spent ones.
Do I have to order more than one pack?
Yes. The minimum order on this listing is 12 packs, sold in multiples of 12, which works out at 216 cells.
