Compatibility
These AA batteries fit any standard AA battery holder or device requiring AA cells, such as toys, flashlights, remote controls, and wireless mice. They deliver 1.5V per cell; multiple cells can be arranged in series to achieve higher voltages (e.g., 4 cells for 6V) or in parallel for increased capacity. Always match the voltage requirements of your project. These versatile cells are the most common battery size worldwide.
Wiring Notes
When wiring into a battery holder, observe correct polarity: the flat end is negative (-) and the raised end is positive (+). If soldering directly, avoid excessive heat as it can damage the cell. For projects, use a holder with wire leads for easy connection to breadboards or terminals.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino?
Yes, you can power an Arduino using AA batteries. For a 5V Arduino, three AA cells in series provide 4.5V, which works on the VIN pin. For 3.3V boards, two cells provide 3V. A boost converter can also be used for stable 5V.
How long do these batteries last in a typical project?
Battery life depends on the current draw. With a typical capacity of 2000mAh, a device drawing 100mA will run for about 20 hours. For low-drain devices like remotes, they can last months.
Are these batteries rechargeable?
No, these are standard single-use alkaline batteries. Do not attempt to recharge them as it may cause leakage or rupture. For rechargeable options, look for NiMH AA batteries.
