MAXELL - AA BATTERY LR6 BLISTER*4 EU

The AA battery is the most used battery in the world and can be found in hundreds of thousands of devices. IEC codes for AA batteries include the popular LR6 for AA alkaline batteries and HR6 for rechargeable NiMH batteries. The normal voltage for these batteries is 1.5V, while rechargeable batteries typically provide 1.2V. New AA lithium batteries offer much greater capacity for a slightly higher price. Introduced in 1907, the AA battery size was standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1947, but had been used in flashlights and electrical novelties for some time before formal standardization. ANSI and IEC battery nomenclature provide various designations for cells of this size, depending on cell characteristics and chemistry. Each AA battery is 51 mm long and 14 mm in diameter. The formats in which the AA battery is available are: alkaline batteries, saline batteries, long-lasting lithium batteries and rechargeable batteries of different capacities. AA alkaline batteries have a storage life of about 6 years, while AA lithium equivalents last up to 9 years before use. AA rechargeable batteries are now available in NiMH with capacities up to 2850mAh and are also available in new “pre-charged” technology that allows them to be used straight from the packaging.
