AA LR6 Alkaline Battery Pack of 32

The AA battery is the most commonly used battery worldwide, found in hundreds of thousands of devices. IEC codes for AA batteries include the popular LR6 for alkaline AA batteries and HR6 for NiMH rechargeable batteries. Voltage for these batteries is typically 1.5V, while rechargeable batteries generally provide 1.2V.

Introduced in 1907, the AA battery size was standardized by ANSI in 1947, previously used in flashlights and electrical novelties even before formal standardization.

Alkaline AA batteries have a shelf life of about 6 years, while lithium AA equivalents can last up to 9 years. Rechargeable AA batteries are available in NiMH with capacities of up to 2850mAh.
