When I buy 24 alkaline manganese AA batteries in the country, I am told that they have a capacity of 2600 milliampere hours. The capacity is not stated anywhere on these batteries. You're buying a pig in a poke...
Hello hashi We have checked with the manufacturer for you. It is correct that Energizer, as the world's leading battery manufacturer, does not indicate mAh capacity on alkaline batteries. Energizer is not alone in this approach and this is also practiced by other established brand manufacturers. The reason for this is that the capacity indication on household batteries is not relevant in the daily, practical use of household batteries. Capacity is calculated as current draw in amperes (a) per unit of time (hour). An assumed very low drain current therefore leads to a very high capacity value in mAh. However, a low current drain does not correspond to the reality of consumer devices in most cases and can behave very differently depending on the consumer device and situation.
Example: Flashlights as a consumer device often have very different setting options in brightness or SoS light possibility. The operating time of a battery varies greatly depending on the case, regardless of the mAh capacity. For this reason, it has become established for the brand manufacturer not to specify the mAh capacity on alkaline batteries. Your Migros specialist store team
