Description

These are Panasonic's zinc carbon AA cells, supplied four to a blister card. Each one is a standard 1.5V AA, the size the IEC names R6, so it drops straight into anything that takes an ordinary AA. The card is marked for low power products, and that is the honest summary of what zinc carbon is for: it is the original everyday dry cell chemistry, less energy dense than alkaline but cheap enough to keep a drawer properly stocked. Panasonic also prints a 0% added lead, mercury and cadmium mark on the front of the pack.

Think of the things in a house that sip power rather than gulp it. Wall clocks, TV and set top box remote controls, doorbell push units, kitchen timers and simple calculators will all run for a long stretch on a cell like this, because they draw a small and steady current. A digital camera, a motorised toy or a bright LED torch is a different matter and will flatten a zinc carbon cell quickly. For those we would point you at the Panasonic Alkaline Power AA Batteries (LR6) in a 4 pack, or the Eneloop AA Batteries (HR6) in a 4 pack if you would rather recharge.

One unit of this listing is one card of four cells. The minimum order is 12 units, sold in multiples of 12, which works out at 48 cells in total, so it suits a shop counter, an office cupboard or anyone who would rather buy a year of clock batteries in one go. Keep them somewhere cool and dry, and change all four at once rather than mixing old cells with new.

Frequently Asked

How many cells do I actually receive?

Each card holds four AA cells. The minimum order on this listing is 12 cards, sold in multiples of 12, so a full order brings 48 cells.

What is the difference between zinc carbon and alkaline AA cells?

Zinc carbon is the older and lower cost chemistry. It holds less energy than an alkaline cell, so it gives its best service in devices that draw a small, steady current.

Will these fit a device that asks for R6 or a 1.5V AA?

Yes. AA, R6 and 1.5V all describe the same cell size and nominal voltage, so anything specifying one of those three will take this battery.

What should I avoid using them in?

High drain items such as digital cameras, motorised toys and powerful LED torches will empty a zinc carbon cell quickly, so choose alkaline or rechargeable cells for those jobs.

Can I recharge them?

No, these are single use cells and should never go into a charger. If you want to recharge, the Eneloop AA Batteries (HR6) in a 4 pack are the ones to pick.
