FAQs about the Varta Longlife Power LR6 battery

What is the difference between "Longlife Power" and the normal "Longlife" series?

The "Longlife Power" (formerly High Energy) is designed as a powerful all-rounder for devices with high energy requirements (e.g. game controllers, toys). The "Longlife" series is optimised for maximum service life in devices with low and constant energy consumption (e.g. remote controls, wall clocks) and would be the more economical choice for these.

For which devices is this battery best suited?

It is the best choice for devices that require a high and flexible power output. These include game controllers, digital cameras, battery-operated toys, computer mice, torches and all other devices where a standard alkaline battery quickly reaches its limits.

What does "Single Press Out" mean?

The blister packaging is designed so that you can press out each battery individually and neatly without damaging the packaging of the other batteries. This makes it easier to remove and to safely store the remaining cells.

Can I use these batteries in a smoke alarm?

For safety-relevant devices such as smoke detectors, we recommend using batteries that are specifically designed for extremely long and reliable power output with low power consumption, such as the Varta Longlife series or lithium batteries.

How should this battery be disposed of?

Batteries must not be disposed of with household waste. Please return used batteries to the designated collection points in retail outlets or local recycling centres to ensure environmentally responsible disposal.
