Gin, Jason (17 June 2015). "Performance analysis/review of Kentli PH5 Li-ion 1.5V AA battery". Rip It Apart - Jason's electronics blog-thingy. Lithium Iron Disulfide Handbook and Application Manual, Version LI4.04, Energizer Battery Manufacturing Inc.The AA battery (or double-A battery) is a standard size single cell cylindrical dry battery. The IEC 60086 system calls the size R6, and ANSI C18 calls it 15. [1] It is named UM-3 by JIS of Japan. [2] Historically, it is known as D14 (hearing aid battery), [3] U12 – later U7 (standard cell), or HP7 (for zinc chloride 'high power' version) in official documentation in the United Kingdom, or a pen cell. [4] This article is about the type of electric cell. For the military weapon, see anti-aircraft warfare. AA cells 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.

It is important to note that, while all LR6 batteries are AA batteries, not all AA batteries are LR6 batteries. Why? It is because all LR6 batteries have alkaline, while some AA batteries will have lithium instead of alkaline. Metals And Chemicals Used in 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. 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.

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. 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. Bergveld, H; Kruijt, W; Notten, P (February 1999).

Bibcode: 1999JPS....77..143B. doi: 10.1016/S0378-7753(98)00188-8. In 2011, AA cells accounted for approximately 60% of alkaline battery sales in the United States. In Japan, 58% of alkaline batteries sold were AA, known in that country as tansan (単三). In Switzerland, AA batteries totaled 55% in both primary and secondary (rechargeable) battery sales. [23] [24] [25] See also [ edit ] NiMH and lithium-ion AA/14500 cells can supply most of their capacity even when under a high current drain (0.5A and higher), unlike alkaline and zinc-chloride ("Heavy Duty"/"Super Heavy Duty") cells which drop to a small fraction of their low current capacity before even reaching 1 C.

LED Torches & Flashlights

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". 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).

Zinc carbon batteries are great for price-conscious consumers who want to power compatible gadgets for less. Designed for use in low-drain devices, such as battery-operated toys and remote controls, zinc carbon batteries don’t usually last as long as their higher-priced, alkaline alternatives, but they are extremely cheap and practical. To confuse things further, the 15A battery is also the same as the AA and LR6 batteries. The name 15A is from the American National Standards Institute. Other names include #5 in China, E91 under DIN, and AM3 under the JIS designation. So despite the IEC’s attempt to create standardized battery names, they still vary depending on location.
