Description
This is a four-cell blister pack of Panasonic AAA alkaline cells from the Alkaline Power range. AAA is the smaller of the two common household cylindrical sizes, roughly the thickness of a pencil, and it is the one most slim remote controls and compact gadgets take. The chemistry is alkaline, the standard single-use household type: each cell gives a nominal 1.5V and is not built to be recharged. Under the international designation system an alkaline AAA is coded LR03, so any device or manual asking for LR03 is asking for this cell.
AAA is the size that turns up in television and set-top remotes, wall and mantel clocks, digital thermometers, kitchen scales, computer mice and keyboards, small LED torches and a great deal of children's toys. Because those things sit in different rooms and run down at different times, a pack of four is the quantity that suits keeping a drawer stocked rather than chasing one dead remote. We sell this listing in multiples of twelve packs, so one minimum order brings forty-eight cells in total, which is a sensible holding for an office, a holiday let, a classroom or a busy family house.
The cells come on a printed card under a clear blister with a punched hanging hole, so the pack can go straight onto a shop hook or sit in a drawer without four small cells rolling loose. The pack is also printed with the lines Lasting Energy and Power Your Day. Alkaline cells are best changed as a full set rather than mixed with part-used ones, and spent cells should never go into household waste: UK supermarkets and council recycling points take them free of charge.

Frequently Asked
How many batteries do I actually receive?
One unit of this listing is a single blister pack holding four AAA cells. The minimum order is twelve packs, which works out at forty-eight cells.
Can these be recharged?
No. Alkaline cells are single-use and are not designed to be put on a charger. If you want cells you can recharge, you need a rechargeable AAA type instead.
What is the difference between AAA and AA?
AAA is both shorter and thinner than AA. The two are not interchangeable, so check the marking in the battery compartment or the device manual before ordering.
My device asks for LR03. Is that the same thing?
Yes. LR03 is the international code for an alkaline AAA cell, so a compartment marked LR03 takes exactly what is in this pack.
How should I dispose of them once they are flat?
Spent cells go to a battery recycling point, not the household bin. Most UK supermarkets and household waste centres have a free collection box by the door.
