We push our batteries to the limit

Our new R6 AA batteries of the Silver Line series become even more practical and debunk one of the age-old myths about Ni-MH batteries. There is a common, not entirely correct statement that rechargeable batteries are thicker than alkaline/disposable batteries, which does not allow them to be used in many devices.

The widely accepted IEC standard, which specifies the maximum size of an AA cell, assumes a maximum thickness of 14.5 mm.

The problem is that not all devices (some flashlights, toys, etc.) allow you to place the thickest cells.

R6/AA Ni-MH batteries on the market are usually about 14.3-14.5 mm thick, while most alkaline batteries are in the 14.0-14.2 mm range. In extreme cases, the differences in diameter between the cells can be more than 0.5 mm.

The new everActive R6/AA Silver Line batteries have a typical thickness of only 14.00 mm - thanks to this, they are perfectly dimensionally compatible with most alkaline batteries and guarantee maximum compatibility in any device.
