What type of battery are you using? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers2 years ago

I use two triple A(AAA) batteries for my TV, DVD remote controllers.

My digital wall clock needs only one double A(AA) battery.

My hubby bought me a large torchlight that needs a super heavy duty battery which is rather expensive. It costs $2 USD for a single one.

For my cell phone and digital camera, of course both are using longer lifespan chargeable lithium batteries.

i use lithium batteries for remote controls... I don't use much batteries cause my mp3 and camera use built-in batteries...


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Oh, you use the thin and light lithium for remote controls, since they are rechargeable so you don’t have to spend extra money to replace them after some time. I think it is more convenient if you use the spare ones when the others are to be charged. I believe the built-in batteries are rechargeable as well.
Good luck and have a nice day.

We used triple A battery for our tv remote controllers and also dvd controller. In our wall clock we used double A and in my walkman i used also double A. I buy energizer batteries.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Wow! You use all the aces batteries, single A, double A and triple A. I guess during your school days you always got many aces in the examination thumbup. Energizer brand batteries are very common in my country as well. They are so popular that we could find them from stall to hypermarket.

I use all kinds of batteries. Everything in my home requires different sizes and kinds. I use the lithium batteried in my ADT units. I always try to stay stocked up on batteries too. I use the cheap kind most of the time so I like to have alot of them on hand in case they stop working. I buy the four packs for a dollar.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

You are right stephcjh, nowadays many electric devices are working on different types of batteries, so it is necessary to keep some extra ones as spare batteries. Just like you, I do buy those economical batteries which are the products of the hypermarkets of Tesco and Giant. I find that they are quite good and lasting as well thumbup. But my husband trusts only the branded and expensive ones lol ....

Take care and happy posting happy

We seem to have a lot of stuff that either uses AA or AAA. With a digital camera, mp3 players and remotes we buy a bunch of them. We have a charger for them but now I think we need to buy some more cause they wont stay charged. Grrr.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

It is always safe to have extra stock of different volts of batteries in our house. So we don’t feel inconvenient or panic while we need to use them urgently. It is really annoying and frustrated indeed if we need a pair of triple A batteries urgently but only double A batteries are available. I do have many charged batteries that could no longer function.
Take care and happy posting.

Most things we have use electricity, the remote control use AAA batteries, my new camera with a 5-Volt AC adapter, so dont need batteries. So I dont use many.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Yeah, in our home there are lots of electric and electronic devices which need batteries to operate, so we have to spend a lot on buying new batteries. Definitely it would be rather convenient and economical if the tools we are using have built in chargers attached, like your new camera. thumbup

most of my kids toys are AAA bateries and the remote control,camera, while our clocks is the bigger sizes i always buy energizer coz it last long


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

You are right, dear marketing, most of the toys our kids playing need batteries to power. During my kid’s childhood I bought him an electric toy racing car and a train as well. Both of these toys need the 9 volts alkaline batteries which was rather expensive. But this was worthy as I enjoyed seeing my boy having fun very much with the toys. Lol.....just same as my husband, you do like the energizer batteries as well.
Happy posting, take care.

same as yours i guess..but i also use the rechargeble ones..that i use in my digital camera..its a little bit costly but much better than off the other ones..since i dont have to buy always batteries...but even then i used triple A's on my remote (since i can tfind one on the rechargeble )and Double A on my wall clock as well..


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

For convenient sake, I bought an extra rechargeable lithium battery for my digital camera, so I could still have on in my camera while the other one is being charged. I totally agree with you vanities, rechargeable batteries are more expensive than the ordinary one, but worth to have them as they could last longer. Here in my place, the price of triple A battery is higher than that of double A confused

before i use one AA for my mp3,we call it 5.now,i seldom use that kind of batteries.i didnt have much digital things,so i dont have to worry about batteries,sometimes i felt computer is my only choise,not good.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Hi yanstill, it is interesting to know that 5 is for the double A battery. lol if I were in china next time I know how to ask the shopkeeper to sell me the AA batteries. Thanks for the information.

Computer is always our best companion. It’s really wonderful as we could do our work with it and spend our spare time by surfing net on it as well.

happy Happy posting and have a sweet night.

I think that we have something with pretty much every size of battery that there is from the square 9volts right up to the big square flashlight batteries.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

It is rather interesting that the voltage of the battery doesn’t depend on its size. The square 9 volts cell is very much smaller than the large rectangular super heavy duty 6 volts battery which is shown in the attached photo. It is true that bigger battery will always contain more chemical than the smaller one and therefore could supply more electrical energy.

happy Happy posting and take care.

10. myLot reputation of 93/100. cheongyc (2060)   ranked 692 out of 19,032 in questions & answers   1 year ago

Basically I use lithium battery for my cell phone and laptop. But their life span deteriorate over time. The cell phone battery used to last for 3 to 4 days. But now it can only last for maximum 2 days. The laptop battery used to last for 4 hours, but now it can only last for 1 hour plus. This has caused me inconvenience. I seldom used other type of battery except for my TV and DVD controller.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Every battery has its own lifespan. It doesn’t matter what type the battery is, just do men, their vigor and ability as well will decrease with age. So we must make full use of both our vigor and ability, just as we don’t waste any of our batteries. If we use the cellphone as a music player frequently with high volume then the battery will have shorter lifespan. Yeah, I believe nowadays every family does use batteries mostly for the TV and DVD controller.
happy Happy posting and take care.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cheongyc (2060)   ranked 692 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

That's right. Everything, not only batteries, has its own life span. So we should appreciate the things that we own and do not take them for granted. I always reuse and recycle things where applicable. And I will try my best to do the thing I want to do in my life before it's too late. Well then I need to buy another music player to play the music, but that's tedious and less convenient compared to using the cell phone to play the music anywhere anytime.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

I utterly agree with you. We must fully make use of every thing that we have possessed at the present moment including our precious time. So I mostly tend to use the rechargeable batteries which could be reused as many times as they last. Of course to carry one device along with us is more convenient than to carry two in the same time. What’s more cellphone is the indispensable which is always with us so it is handy to carry a two in one with us. So it is worthy to spend money for the lithium batteries instead of buying a music player. Anyway the cost of the player is many times more than that of the cellphone batteries.
Happy posting and good luck.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cheongyc (2060)   ranked 692 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

I think so. The cost of having a music player is much more higher than changing a new lithium battery LoL. Besides, the convenience of bringing one device for multiple purpose already worth the cost of changing the cell phone battery. Nowadays, I seldom listen to music from cell phone. I would rather enjoy the serenity and peaceful atmosphere nowadays. This could a sign of aging LoL.


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

Yeah, nowadays people tend to use devices with multiple purposes. People do like those light and rechargeable batteries for their handy and portable devices like cellphone, digital camera and music player etc.
Hi come on my dear, you are still very young if compare with me lol but I still like listening to music every now and then. This is the sign of aging and I think it is most probably you have changed your liking.
happy


myLot reputation of 93/100. cheongyc (2060)   ranked 692 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

It's really true that people tends to use device with multi function. That's why the cell phone is become more and more complicated with all the integrated functions, other its original communication purpose. I think rechargeable batteries are more environmental friendly, because we could reuse it again and again. I saw the advertisement claimed that some rechargeable batteries could last for 1000 charges. I might switching my taste instead of aging LoL!


myLot reputation of 99/100. lkbooi (6923)   ranked 4 out of 19,032 in questions & answers  1 year ago

I have two pairs of double A and three pairs of triple A chargeable batteries. I have two chargers for these batteries. One is the slow charger which came together with the Sony digital camera I bought few years back. It takes nearly a whole day to charge the batteries, so later I bought a fast charger which needs only few hours to complete the charging. But I find batteries which are charged by the slow charger could last longer. So I use the fast charger mainly when the batteries are needed urgently or when going outing. I can see figures of 800, 700 and 1000 on the rechargeable batteries. I just curious what these mean for. Happy posting @_@ happy
