Alkaline Batteries

Alkaline Battery Information

Alkaline batteries have all but superseded the old zinc-carbon cells and even zinc chloride in terms of performance. The alkaline cell delivers up to ten times the ampere-hour capacity at high and continuous drain conditions, the performance at low temperature also being superior. With most major brands now guaranteed leak proof it is the consumers most popular primary cell.
The Alkaline battery comes in many shapes and sizes the most popular begin the AA or LR6, other types / sizes include; AAA, AAAA, C, D, PP3, button cell, high voltage camera battery. The products listed on this website are all models of alkaline batteries, click on the link for further information.

Hints & Tips:

Alkaline batteries are not ideal in high power devices such as Digital Cameras and Personal Audio Devices. Rechargeable batteries offer extended run time in such equipment
Many well known producers of the Alkaline Battery now have an ultra range which is developed specifically for the high drain appliances. These give longer life than the standard range sometimes up to 50%, you would also expect to pay the same difference in price when compared to the standard cells
When manufacturers claim their batteries last longer than other brands often they are comparing them with a different 'type' of battery i.e. Zinc Carbon. This can sometime be misleading to the battery user as most major brands are similar in performance if comparing the same battery type, it is normally the price that is the main variable!
There is a type of battery known as Rechargeable Alkaline (RAM), these are not the same as standard Alkaline batteries which you find in supermarkets and on the high street. Do not try and recharge standard alkaline batteries in a rechargeable Alkaline charger unless the instructions specifically say you can.
