Batteries: What Size And Brand Do You Use Most?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. freak369 (3473)   ranked 4 out of 6 in batteries 5 years ago

I use AA and AAA sized batteries more than any other. My remote controls, toys, wireless PS2 controllers and walkie talkies all use AA sized batteries. My MP3 player is pretty much the only thing that takes AAA sized batteries and I have it on all the time so I do go through a lot of batteries.

Do you have a specific brand you buy? Do you go through one size more than others? I found the Duracell Procell to have the longest life they they aren't exactly cheap.

I use probably triple As because of my MP3 Player the most but my son with all of his gadgets and toys that seem to ALL need bloody batteries goes through double As like there is no tomorrow.
I swear the battery companies must ahve a deal with the toy makers...

LOL! What always baffles me is when you buy a toy and you get the batteries that come with it .. they seem to last forever but as soon as you go to replace them, you are lucky to get a week or two out of them before they die.

I completely agree with you on that one! When I think of batteries I have to laugh....
There was this comedian I saw once on Utube and would love to see this guy live but he once did a skit about batteries... (Denetri Martin, I think)

He goes on to say that they are very dramatic... Because they don't break, they don't get old they... die.
And they don't die alone, they take another one with them they die in pairs. He goes on to say that his buddy met him at school one day and Demetri asks him "Man Where is your CD player, you always listen to it" and his buddy replies "well I was listening to it this morning and they died in my lap"... This guy is hilarious!!!! There is more but my typing could not do this guy justice. I was laughing my bum off the whole skit!

I use AA the most often. They are what makes my camera work. They also fit in my MP3 disc player.
We have a charger to charge normal batteries as well as rechargeables so the batteries I buy are the energiser batteries which are a bit more expensive but will recharge about 5 times before they are useless.
My old MP3 player took AAA which don't fit in the recharger.The new MP3 player recharges with an internal battery. My daughter has the same model and says its much better as she went through AAA's very fast in her old one.

probably the duracell AAA,it seems everything runs off them.
i'll tell you one thing though,i'm not buying those huge "bargain" packs at BJ's wholesale anymore.
more than half of them were dead when i bought them brand new.what a rip.

I use both AAA and AA batteries, but AA once often because my mp3 player support them. In the begining I was using Thoshiba alkaline and Merkator batteries because they were cheap and they last long. But when some time past I realize that is not payable, because I using them very often and I need to buying them all the time, so I purchase Battery charger and couple of rechargable batteries. Both the charger and batteries brand are Varta.

I go through AA mostly because that's what my digital camera takes. I have rechargeable Energizer batteries and they work great. I never have to buy new batteries and they last a lot longer than regular batteries do.

Just about the only batteries I use are AA... Most of the things I use already comes with rechargeable batteries built into them, cell. phone, flash lights etc... My cell. phone has it's own rechargeable battery, I have 2 of those 1 million + candle powered flash lights, one for the car & one for the house, that has built in rechargeable batteries... 2 out of 4 remotes use AA batteries so I use rechargeable batteries for them & same as the other 2 remotes that uses AAA batteries, which I have rechargeable batteries for them, too... I don't really have have portable music player so I listen it music in my car, stereo in the house & on my computer... My daughter has inexpensive cd player that takes 2 AA batteries but she has set of her own rechargeable batteries...My palm pilot has it's own built in rechargeable battery... I do have in my car one of those flash lights that you shake, see picture below, just in case the "flood" flash light goes out... come to think of it, I really don't have the need for batteries that much & the ones that take batteries, I've got more than enough rechargeable batteries for them...
