What is the difference between AA and LR6 battery?

AA and LR6 batteries are both commonly used cylindrical batteries, but there are some differences between them.

AA (also known as double-A) is a standard battery size designation that encompasses various chemistries, including alkaline, NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride), and lithium.

LR6 is a specific designation for a type of AA-sized battery that refers to alkaline batteries. LR6 batteries are one of the most common types of AA batteries available.

AA batteries can be manufactured using different chemistries, including alkaline, NiMH, lithium, and others.

LR6 batteries specifically refer to alkaline batteries, which are commonly used in various household devices such as remote controls, toys, flashlights, and portable electronics.

Both AA and LR6 batteries typically have a nominal voltage of 1.5 volts.

The capacity (measured in milliampere-hours, mAh) may vary depending on the specific brand, type, and quality of the battery. Generally, alkaline LR6 batteries have a moderate capacity compared to some rechargeable AA batteries like NiMH.

AA batteries, including LR6 alkaline batteries, are widely used in a variety of consumer electronics and household devices.

LR6 batteries are particularly suitable for devices with moderate power consumption that require reliable and long-lasting power, but they are not rechargeable.

In summary, AA batteries are a standard size designation encompassing various chemistries, while LR6 specifically refers to alkaline AA batteries. LR6 batteries are one of the most common types of AA batteries and are widely used in everyday electronic devices.
