The AA battery is the most popular size. Also referred to as the double-A, it can be used in many applications and can be found in many stores worldwide.
These are alkaline batteries that are economical and easy to dispose of.
Their capacity of 2500 mAh makes them work best for certain devices that draw high current during operation but aren't frequently used. These devices include clocks, cordless phones, and thermometers.
Originally referred to as Energizer Ultra+, Energizer MAX batteries are equipped with two unique technologies:
- Power Boost technology, which makes them the longest-lasting alkaline batteries in the Energizer family. They outlive other alkaline batteries by up to 80%. This translates to a useful 10+ year shelf life.
- PowerSeal™ technology, which protects them from battery leakage, up to 2 years after a battery is fully drained.
Furthermore, all Energizer alkaline batteries are armed with a “No Leak Guarantee.” Energizer has a provision to replace any device that experiences leak damage during the first 2 years.
Energizer’s zero-mercury initiative makes their Energizer MAX alkaline batteries safe for the environment.
Both Energizer MAX and Energizer MAX Plus are trademarks of Energizer Ltd.
Today, you'll learn more about the Energizer MAX batteries and primarily what differentiates the MAX from the MAX Plus.
The Battery Chemistry
The Energizer MAX battery comes in AA, AAA, C, D and 9V dimensions. The voltages for each dimension are as follows:
| Dimension | Voltage |
| AA | 1.5 Volts |
| AAA | 1.5 Volts |
| C | 1.5 Volts |
| D | 1.5 Volts |
| 9V | 9 Volts |
Unlike the AA and the AAA, the C, D, and 9V are used for certain high power, high drain devices. This includes wireless doorbells, high-power flashlights, and radio-cassette players.

Energizer MAX Plus AA: The Differentiating Factor
Energizer MAX Plus is one of Energizer's longest lasting alkaline batteries. It can hold power for up to 12 years during storage, making certain that your devices always have power.
PowerBoost Technology ensures that it's able to produce more power and last longer. It's 50% more potent than its Energizer MAX counterpart.
It also maintains the 2 years zero leakage guarantee that adds to its safety.
This makes it a powerful, longer-lasting choice for contemporary devices such as digital still cameras, wireless gaming accessories, toys, clocks, remotes, and hospital equipment such as glucometers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Energizer MAX Plus AA Rechargeable?
No, it’s not.
The Energizer MAX Plus AA battery is a primary battery (not rechargeable), which has a finite year shelf life and needs to be replaced accordingly.
Are Energizer MAX Plus AA Batteries Recyclable?
Yes, they are.
The Energizer MAX Plus AA has material that is biodegradable and mercury-free. This makes it safe for the environment.
However, ensure you dispose of the Energizer MAX Plus AA in areas specially designated for recyclable alkaline AA and AAA batteries. Consult your manufacturer or retailer for eco-friendly battery disposal.
Can Energizer MAX Plus AA Batteries Explode?
Yes. The Energizer MAX Plus AA can explode.
- This is typically induced by factors such as:
- Trying to recharge the Energizer MAX Plus AA
- Wrong insertion of batteries onto devices
- Exposing the battery to high operating/storage temperatures
- Using faulty batteries in devices
- Using old (or fully used) and new batteries together
In the case of exposure to explosions or leaked batteries, please take the following measures:
- Use clean water to wash away all traces of the corrosive battery material on your body. Use vinegar or lemon juice to neutralize any residual traces. Only do this after thoroughly washing away with water to avoid a chemical reaction.
- In case of eye contact, wash any material with clean water, then seek immediate medical attention. This also applies to other areas of the body.
- Check the device for any remains of leakage. Afterwards, thoroughly clean your device with a cotton bud dipped in vinegar or lemon juice. Use a flat surface to remove hard residues.
What Is the Difference Between the Energizer Industrial Alkaline AA and the Energizer MAX Plus AA?
Technically, there’s no difference between Energizer MAX Plus AA and standard Energizer industrial alkaline batteries.
It comes down to the type of pack. Certain Energizer MAX batteries are packaged in small quantities as blister packs. For example, the Energizer MAX Plus AA alkaline batteries come in packs of 4, while the Energizer Industrial alkaline batteries are packaged in packs of 24.
What Are the Safety Requirements for Handling and Storing Energizer MAX Plus AA Batteries?
Proper care of MAX batteries will optimize the 10-year shelf life and protect against battery hazards.
Please take the following steps to benefit from this longest lasting alkaline battery type:
- Always read manufacturer instructions on devices before using batteries. Be careful only to use the battery size and type specified.
- Keep batteries out of children’s reach.
- Store spare batteries in their original packaging. Only take them out during replacement.
- Don’t dispose of batteries in fire, as this may lead to an explosion.
- Always separate brand-new batteries from ones that have been partially or fully used. Use clear labelling to indicate the difference.
- Do not store batteries inside devices that you won’t be using for a long time.
- Switch a device off when not fully in use to preserve the battery’s 10-year shelf life.
- Never crush, burn, disassemble or puncture batteries of any kind.
- Store your batteries at room temperature in a cool and dry environment.
- Insert battery terminals correctly regarding the positive (+) and negative (-) ends.
- Always wipe battery contact surfaces dry. Use a cloth or battery eraser.
- Don’t carry batteries loosely in your pocket, alongside metal objects like paper clips and coins. This could short-circuit the battery.
Is Buying Batteries in Bulk Good for Me?
Yes. This is based on your specific use case.
If you’re working with certain industrial devices, or have devices that demand high power, then the Energizer MAX Plus AA is the battery solution for you.
Buying them in bulk helps you cover emergencies. They are among the longest-lasting alkaline batteries. Many of them would come in handy when you can’t manage an immediate purchase.
This also saves you money. You not only spend less per unit, but you may also qualify for free shipping and save even more.
