Energizer Max Alkaline Battery AA LR6, Pack of 4

Product Information

The LR6 batteries are not lithium batteries. Instead, they contain alkaline. Alkaline batteries are more affordable than lithium batteries, but they are heavier and do not have the same ability to maintain power in extremely cold temperatures. Lithium batteries are more expensive, but they last longer. The IEC code for them is CR.

Introduced in 1907 by The American Ever Ready Company, [5] [ third-party source needed] the AA battery size was standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1947, but it had been in use in flashlights and electrical novelties before formal standardization. ANSI and IEC battery nomenclature gives several designations for cells in this size, depending on cell features and chemistry. Before being called AA batteries, they were commonly called Z batteries, as the ones produced by the Burgess Battery Company were sold as "Number Z" (meant to indicate them being smaller than the "Number 1", which was similar in size to a modern C battery). [ citation needed] Due to their popularity in small flashlights, they are often called "penlight batteries". The first zinc carbon batteries were produced in the 1800s by George Leclanché, a French scientist, and cells produced using the method he designed were also known as Leclanché cells. More recently, manufacturers developed a new chemical make-up, incorporating zinc chloride, to produce zinc carbon cells with slightly higher capacities. To distinguish these new batteries from lower-capacity Leclanché cells, they were often labelled as ‘Heavy Duty’ zinc carbon batteries. You’ll still find many zinc chloride cells referred to by this name today. LIFE CYCLE IMPACTS OF ALKALINE BATTERIES WITH A FOCUS ON END‐OF‐LIFE" (PDF). 3 March 2016. Archived from the original (PDF) on 3 March 2016. Alkaline AA cells have a weight of roughly 23g (0.81oz), [6] lithium AA cells around 15g (0.53oz), [7] and rechargeable Ni-MH cells around 31g (1.1oz). [8] Chemistry and capacity [ edit ] Primary cells [ edit ] The LR6 1.5-volt battery is an alkaline battery, which measures just below two inches in height and has a diameter of just over half an inch. The weight of a typical LR6 battery is approximately 0.8 ounces. LR6 batteries are typically used in cameras, toys, torches, and remote controllers.

While carbon zinc alkaline batteries have 1.5 volts and a 600-1,600 mAh capacity, rechargeable alkaline manganese batteries (RAM) have a capacity of 1,800-2,700 mAh with the same volts. RAM batteries are not standard AA batteries because they can be recharged and therefore have a longer shelf life. Bergveld, H; Kruijt, W; Notten, P (February 1999). "Electronic-network modelling of rechargeable NiCd cells and its application to the design of battery management systems". Journal of Power Sources. 72 (2): 143–158. Bibcode: 1999JPS....77..143B. doi: 10.1016/S0378-7753(98)00188-8. AA Batteries are the most commonly used battery worldwide and found in hundreds of thousands of devices. IEC Codes for AA batteries include the popular LR6 for AA alkaline and HR6 for NiMH rechargeable batteries. Normal voltage is 1.5V whereas rechargeable batteries generally provide about 1.2V. New AA lithium batteries provide a much increased capacity at a slightly higher price making them great value.

NiMH batteries have a more stable output voltage compared to NiCd batteries. If you want to use a NiMH battery to power your device, make sure you know the output current of your device. Some NiMH batteries are designed for high-capacity use while others are for high-drain use. How to Store LR6 Batteries Safely? LR6 batteries are most commonly known as a type of AA batteries. To help make battery classification clearer for the consumer, the International Electrotechnical Commission, known as the IEC, has made a global naming system for batteries. LR6 is their name for AA 1.5-volt batteries.

So now you know that when your new device such as a digital camera or a flashlight asks for an LR6 battery, it is the same as an AA or 15A battery. An LR battery is a primary battery, which means it is not rechargeable. If you are looking for a rechargeable battery, then there are types of AA batteries that can be recharged.
