Description
Panasonic AA LR6 alkaline batteries are supplied in a 4-pack blister, each cell delivering 1.5V nominal voltage. The LR6 designation indicates standard AA alkaline chemistry, providing compatible power for remote controls, wall clocks, digital thermometers, wireless keyboards, torches and battery-operated toys that specify AA cells.
The Bronze range sits as Panasonic's entry-level alkaline offering, positioned for everyday household use where device power draw is moderate and consistent. Typical applications include TV remotes used daily, kitchen timers, and corridor clocks that draw minimal current over extended periods. The alkaline chemistry delivers a flatter discharge curve than zinc-carbon cells, maintaining voltage stability across the majority of the battery's useful life before rapid drop-off near depletion.
Each cell measures 50.5mm in length and 14.5mm in diameter, conforming to IEC LR6 dimensional standards. The blister pack dimensions of 120mm x 83mm x 15mm allow the 4-pack to fit through most UK letterboxes when posted. Panasonic manufactures these cells using a low-VOC process that reduces volatile organic compound emissions during production compared to older alkaline lines.

Frequently Asked
What devices suit these batteries?
The Bronze range works well in low-to-moderate drain devices such as remote controls, wall clocks, wireless doorbells, kitchen timers and digital thermometers. For high-drain devices like digital cameras, gaming controllers or LED torches used frequently, Panasonic's higher-tier ranges (Pro Power or Evolta) offer better performance and longevity.
How do alkaline batteries differ from zinc-carbon?
Alkaline chemistry provides higher energy density and a more stable voltage curve than zinc-carbon. This means longer runtime in most devices and better performance in cold temperatures. Zinc-carbon cells are cheaper but deplete faster and perform poorly in anything drawing moderate current.
Can these be stored long-term?
Alkaline cells self-discharge slowly when stored at room temperature, typically retaining 80-90% of capacity after 2-3 years on the shelf. Store in a cool, dry place away from metal objects. Check the date code printed on the blister pack for the manufacture date.
Are they rechargeable?
No. Standard alkaline batteries are single-use and attempting to recharge them can cause leakage or rupture. For rechargeable AA cells, use NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) batteries rated at 1.2V nominal with a compatible NiMH charger.
