Key Features
- 3000mAh / 3950mWh High Capacity: Strong capacity in the AA format with a 1200+ cycle rating — one two-pack can replace a very large number of disposable AA batteries over its lifetime.
- Constant 1.5V Output: Holds a true 1.5V throughout the discharge cycle — no gradual sag like NiMH rechargeables — so your devices run at full performance from first use to last.
- Built-In USB-C Charging Port: No separate charger needed — plug in any USB-C cable and charge directly. Simple, convenient, and one less thing to keep track of.
- 2.5A Maximum Discharge Current: Up to 2.5A continuous discharge covers everything from low-drain wireless accessories to moderate-drain cameras and portable lighting without issue.
- Multi-Status LED Indicator: A clear LED tells you exactly what is happening — charging, complete, unconnected, low voltage, or short circuit — at a glance, every time.
Overview
The XTAR AA LR 3000 brings USB-C convenience to the standard AA format. At 3000mAh / 3950mWh per cell with a 1200+ cycle rating, it covers a lot of ground — and the built-in USB-C port means you can top it off from any phone charger, laptop, power bank, or USB-C wall adapter without carrying a dedicated battery charger. The constant 1.5V output keeps performance consistent from start to finish, and the multi-status LED makes charge monitoring effortless. With a 2.5A max discharge current and wide -20°C to 60°C operating range, it handles both everyday indoor devices and outdoor gear without issue. Also compatible with the XTAR L8 charger for those who prefer a charging station. This listing includes two batteries.
Applications / Uses
- Smart door locks, digital cameras, and home security devices where consistent 1.5V output directly affects performance
- Wireless mice, microphone transmitters, and low-drain smart accessories with long standby requirements
- Home medical equipment, audio recorders, and personal grooming devices on regular charge cycles
- Portable lighting and outdoor gear where USB-C recharging in the field is a practical advantage
- Any AA-powered device where built-in USB-C charging and long cycle life add real everyday value

⚠ Important Safety Warnings
Improper handling or misuse of this lithium-ion battery can result in FIRE, EXPLOSION, or THERMAL RUNAWAY, causing personal injury, property damage, or death. Users must read and follow all safety guidelines before purchase and use. Click here to review the full safety guidelines.
- Critical Warning: Never carry loose batteries in your pocket, purse, or bag. Loose batteries can come into contact with metal objects like keys or coins, causing a short circuit, which may result in severe burns, fire, or explosion. Always store or transport batteries in a protective case or box.
- Intended Use: This battery is designed for integration into protected battery packs with a Battery Management System (BMS) or Protection Circuit Board (PCB). It is not intended for standalone use or use in devices such as e-cigarettes or vaporizers.
-
What is Thermal Runaway?
- A dangerous chain reaction where heat generated by a failing battery causes it to overheat further, potentially leading to fire or explosion.
- Causes: Overcharging, short circuits, physical damage, or exposure to high temperatures.
- Prevention: Use a smart charger, avoid physical damage, and store batteries in a cool, dry place.
- Storage & Transport: Always store batteries in protective cases or boxes to prevent accidental contact with metal objects. Never store loose batteries in pockets, purses, bags, or near conductive materials.
- Inspection: Do not use if the PVC wrapper, terminal insulator, or casing is damaged, dented, leaking, or bulging. These are signs of internal damage or instability, and continued use could result in failure, fire, or explosion.
- Charging: Use a smart charger designed specifically for lithium-ion batteries and ensure that the charger's voltage matches the battery's specifications. Never overcharge, over-discharge, or leave unattended while charging.
- Prohibited Activities: Do not short circuit, modify, puncture, crush, expose to liquids, or solder directly onto the battery (spot weld only).
- Emergency Response: If a cell shows signs of thermal runaway (smoke, swelling, hissing, or heat), stop use immediately and, if it can be done safely, move it to a non-flammable surface (e.g., concrete or sand) away from combustibles. Lithium-ion cell fires are Class B fires — use an ABC/dry-chemical extinguisher, or douse with large amounts of water to cool the cell and prevent spread. Do not rely on a small spray; thorough cooling is required, and cells can reignite from residual heat, so monitor the area afterward. (Class D extinguishers are for lithium-metal batteries, not lithium-ion.) For any fire beyond a single small cell, evacuate and call emergency services.
