Description

Eight AAA cells come on one Panasonic card, printed on the front as six plus two free, and each is a 1.5V zinc carbon battery. Zinc carbon is the oldest and plainest of the dry cell chemistries. It holds less charge than an alkaline cell of the same size, which is why it is the cheaper option, and it works best in equipment that sips current steadily rather than pulling hard on it. The card says so itself: a clock icon and a remote control icon sit above the words for low power products. AAA is the narrower of the two common household sizes and will not stand in for an AA.

That makes this card the one to reach for when you are restocking the drawer that feeds the television remote, the wall clock in the hall, a kitchen timer, a calculator or a small door chime. Eight cells is a sensible household quantity because most of these devices take two at a time, so one card refills four of them. For anything that drains hard, a camera flash, a motorised toy or a bright torch run for long stretches, an alkaline or lithium AAA will give you more working time for the money.

A green 0% Pb Hg Cd added badge sits in the top corner, meaning no lead, mercury or cadmium has been added to the cells. This is part of Panasonic's Zinc Carbon range, and it is a trade line: the minimum order is 20 cards, sold in multiples of 20, which comes to 160 individual cells. That suits a stockroom, a letting agent or anyone who would rather buy a year's supply at once than a card at a time.

Frequently Asked

How many batteries are on the card?

Eight. The front of the pack reads AAA 8 and shows the offer as six plus two free, so you receive eight cells in total on one card.

What sort of devices should I put these in?

Low drain equipment: remote controls, wall clocks, timers, calculators and small chimes. The pack itself prints a clock icon and a remote icon above the words for low power products.

Will zinc carbon last as long as alkaline?

No. A zinc carbon cell holds less charge than an alkaline cell of the same size, so in a hard working device it needs changing sooner, which is why it is the lower cost chemistry.

Are these rechargeable?

No. Zinc carbon cells are primary batteries, made to be used once and then recycled. Only cells sold specifically as rechargeable can be put back on a charger.

Do they contain mercury, lead or cadmium?

The pack carries a green badge reading 0% Pb Hg Cd added, so none of the three has been added to these cells. Take spent batteries to a collection point rather than the bin.
