Maplin Alkaline Batteries


What are Alkaline Batteries?

Alkaline batteries are a type of disposable battery that use an alkaline electrolyte, typically potassium hydroxide, to generate power. They are most commonly used in household devices as they boast long shelf life, higher energy capacity, and consistent performance compared to older battery types like zinc-carbon. Alkaline batteries come in various sizes, such as AA, AAA, C, and D, and are suitable for a wide range of devices, such as remote controls, flashlights, and toys. They are not rechargeable and should be properly disposed of or recycled after use.

Our Maplin AA and AAA alkaline batteries offer 1.5V power, 20% more capacity than standard alkaline batteries and a long 7 year shelf life.
