These are three words parents do not like to read the day before Christmas, "Batteries not included!" The best way to tackle this inconvenience at the last minute is to buy your own batteries ahead of time, and also because some are better than others. Consumer Reports tested 17 different AAs, which is the size mostly used in the gizmos found in stockings, toys, remote controls, etc., and these are the best in their categories:
Best Lithiums:
- Energizer Ultimate - $2.50 each.
- Energizer Advanced - $2.25 each.
Best Alkalines
- Panasonic Evolta $1 each.
- Kirkland Signature (COSTCO) - 23 cents each.
Best Rechargeables:
- Sanyo Eneloop - $3.75 each.
- Sony Cycle Energy - $ 4.25 each. (The idea for rechargeable is cost effective since the cost goes down the more you recharge and use.)
Consumer Reports recommends to go with cheaper alkalines for items used less often, like flashlights, etc. - I like this recommendation!
