Description
This is a card of eight Panasonic Pro Power AA cells, supplied as four plus four on a single blister. AA is the most common cell size in a British home, and alkaline is its everyday chemistry: a nominal 1.5V per cell, ready to use straight from the card, and a sealed cell you fit once and replace when it is flat. The trade code for an alkaline AA is LR6, so where a device manual or a label asks for LR6 rather than AA, this is the same cell under its formal name.
AA is the size that runs most of the small electrics in a house: television and set top box remotes, wireless mice and keyboards, wall clocks, children's toys, torches, door chimes and room thermostats. How long a set lasts depends far more on the device than on the cell, so the same pair can sit in a remote for a very long time and go flat quickly in a motorised toy or a bright torch. Eight cells covers two or three of those jobs at once and still leaves a spare pair. Where a device takes more than one cell, fit a full set of the same age rather than mixing a fresh cell with a tired one.
One unit of this listing is the full card of eight cells, so a single order line puts eight AA batteries in the drawer. Our minimum order is 12 cards, sold in multiples of 12, which works out at 96 cells and suits a hall, a school, a holiday let or a counter display better than a one off household top up. No shelf life figure is stated. It sits alongside our wider Panasonic range of AAA, AA, C, D and 9V alkalines, lithium coin cells and rechargeable Eneloop AA and AAA.

Frequently Asked
How many batteries do I get in one pack?
One card holds eight AA cells, printed on the front as four plus four, so a single order line gives you eight batteries.
Is LR6 the same thing as AA?
Yes. LR6 is the formal code for an alkaline AA cell, so a manual or a label asking for LR6 wants this size.
Can these be recharged?
No. Alkaline cells are single use by design and are not meant to go in a charger; for repeat charging you need a rechargeable AA instead.
What voltage does each cell give?
Each alkaline AA is a nominal 1.5V, which is the figure most remotes, clocks, toys, torches and wireless mice are built around.
Will these work in a device that came with rechargeable AA cells?
They are the same physical size and drop into the same compartment, though a rechargeable AA is nominally 1.2V rather than 1.5V, so some devices behave a little differently.
