Panasonic AA Zinc Carbon Batteries – 1.5V – Pack of 10

The Panasonic Zinc AA LR6 are a set of dry cell batteries featuring a carbon zinc cell that interacts with manganese, powdered carbon, and oxide to deliver a steady source of power. The batteries’ voltage is 1.5v and their shelf life is approximately 36 months.

The Panasonic Zinc AA LR6 are low power output batteries that have been created to be used with devices and appliances that do not have high power requirements. Typical uses for these batteries include (but are not limited to) low-drain devices such as wall clocks, remote control units, transistor radios, and low-capacity torches (i.e. those not exceeding 2,100mAh). A key benefit of zinc batteries is their cost-effectiveness, as they have a low cost per hour given their low energy density (1-2 watt hours / cubic inch).

These Panasonic Zinc carbon batteries are mercury and lead-free and are available in packs of 10 units. This pack size is ideal to be kept around the house as a backup and offers other advantages, including easy storage and convenience.

The cost-efficient price of these AA batteries is a reflection on their Zinc chemistry make up, which is not as powerful as alkaline and lithium alternatives, and they are only recommended for use in low power devices.
