Alkaline battery AA 1.5 V

Reliable 1.5 V AA alkaline battery for everyday devices

The AA alkaline battery (LBAA) is a 1.5-volt battery in the AA size, one of the most widespread formats in the world. Designed to power a wide range of everyday devices, it delivers a stable voltage and good runtime, making it a reliable choice for both home and workplace. Alkaline technology ensures a long shelf life and a gradual discharge: the device keeps a steady power supply almost to the end of the battery, with no sudden drop in performance.

The AA size powers a multitude of devices: remote controls, wireless mice and keyboards, detectors and sensors, toys, flashlights, clocks, measuring instruments and small electronics. Keeping a few AA batteries in reserve avoids running out at the wrong moment, especially for safety devices such as certain detectors that must stay operational at all times.

Benefits of the AA alkaline battery

Beyond its versatility, the AA alkaline battery brings concrete benefits for reliable everyday use.

Long life and stable voltage

Alkaline chemistry provides good energy density and a steady discharge, extending the device's runtime and keeping a stable 1.5-volt output for most of the battery's life.

Universal and versatile AA size

The AA size is one of the most common: a single battery serves a wide variety of devices, simplifying the stock of batteries to keep at home or on a worksite.

Worksites and sectors where this battery is required

The AA alkaline battery is used everywhere small devices must stay reliably powered:

• Homes and offices for remotes, mice, keyboards, clocks and small electronics.
• Safety and building for certain detectors, sensors and portable measuring devices.
• Stores, schools and institutions for AA-powered equipment.
• Workshops and worksites for flashlights, instruments and measuring tools.
• Any emergency or repair kit that should hold spare batteries.

Use and storage of the AA alkaline battery

For best results, insert the battery according to the polarity (+ and −) shown in the device's compartment, and replace all the batteries in a device at the same time rather than mixing a new and a used cell. Store batteries in a dry, temperate place, away from metal objects. Remove the batteries from a device that will not be used for a long period to avoid any risk of leakage. Used batteries should be collected and recycled through local programs.

FAQ about the AA alkaline battery

Which devices use AA batteries?

A great many: remote controls, wireless mice and keyboards, detectors, toys, flashlights, clocks and measuring instruments are among the most common.

Can I mix a new and a used battery?

No, it is recommended to replace all the batteries in a device at the same time to avoid uneven discharge and a risk of leakage.

How can I extend battery life?

Store them dry and cool, and remove them from a device that will be unused for a long period. Alkaline technology already offers a good shelf life.
