About this product
Duracell's most powerful AA battery yet, engineered for gadgets that drain power fast - cameras that fire off hundreds of shots, controllers that never quit, or wireless mice you use all day. These Optimum cells deliver up to 200% extra life in digital cameras or extra power in certain devices compared to standard Duracell alkalines, so your gear runs at full strength for longer. Pack of 8 keeps you stocked up, and each 1.5V battery comes in a book-style pack with zero plastic that is designed for recycling.
Longer runtime in high-demand electronics means you shoot more photos, play more rounds, and work longer without hunting for fresh batteries mid-session. Output stays stable throughout every discharge cycle, optimising performance whether you are powering cameras, gaming controllers or wireless peripherals. The innovative book-style pack secures each cell safely during storage, and the 1-year guarantee ensures they will be ready when you need them most.
- Pack of 8 batteries.
- 1.5V.
- Manufacturer's 1 year guarantee.

Cannot comment.
Unfortunately these were sold with the Sureflap Microchip Pet Door as the right batteries to use. They are not! The Sureflap Microchip Pet Door needs 4 "C" batteries and not 4 AA batteries which are too small. I tried to contact Argos customer services to inform them, but to no avail. I am sure these batteries are exceptional with other products that require AA's, but they are useless when sold with a product which doesn't need them. I can only rate their their performance with one star, because I have not used them.

Good service
The batteries were to be used with another product, which sadly had to be returned. No fault of Argos. The batteries worked well. I have returned the other item. I have only given 4 stars purely because I had to return the item. However, I must say the collection, return and refund of the product were dealt with very easily and efficiently. Very impressed.

I can confirm yes they will power a Blink doorbell. Theyre the only Alkalines that will provide enough current to do so, all other Alkalines will effectively give too little and the camera wont allow it.
I get a out 4.5 months use from a pair of a front door camera - standard Blink Outdoor camera over the front door.
Massively cheaper than Lithium batteries, even though they dont last as long - I get about 6-8 months from a pair of lithium in the same camera.
Hi Curious,
Blink devices use AA lithium batteries. These are non rechargeable batteries, but it can also work on alkaline batteries as well as rechargeable Li ion batteries. As the latter two aren't compatible with Blinks, they can damage your security camera in the long run. For these reasons I'd advise using AA lithium batteries.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Terry
Our supplier says "Milliampere-hour (mAh) is a measure of the energy stored in a battery. We do not advertise the mAh capacity of our alkaline batteries because it does not tell you how long the batteries will last and so is misleading. Actual delivered capacity is highly dependent on:
- Drain rate (load)
- Operating temperature.
- Cutoff voltage."
Thanks for using Q & A
Hello Jim,
I can confirm that this would depend on the usage and the controller itself. You could expect these batteries to last up to 60 hours.
I hope this helps
Thank you for using Q&A
Hello there,
Batteries don't have an AMP rating. As long as the device is able to use the AA size and requires a 1.5volt or multiple off, depend on the amount of batteries needed, then these are able to be used.
Thanks for using Q&A.
