What type of battery should I buy?

Shop around for AA and AAA batteries and the main types you’ll find are alkaline and lithium disposable batteries. Lithium batteries last a lot longer in more energy intensive devices. We've found that they can give you 2-3 hours more power than an alkaline battery. But they're also much more expensive.

How much does a battery cost per hour?

The cost per hour of each battery when used in high, medium and low-drain devices is the best indicator of good value. We’ve found AA batteries that cost as little as 4p per hour in the most power-hungry gadgets, as well as some that cost up to 47p per hour.

Which AA battery should I buy?

If you are planning on buying these batteries for devices like remote controls which have less-demanding needs, then you’ll be better off with a low-capacity yet low-discharge option, such as the GP Recyko Charge 10 AA. However, for demanding appliances such as microphones or cameras, the Ansmann Digital AA HR6 batteries are a great choice.

What is the most common battery size?

The most common battery size is the AA (or double-A) size and different variants of it are produced, offering contrasting specifications, performance and use suitability. The most prevalent type of AA version is the zinc-carbon AA device which happens to also be the least expensive.

What is a rechargeable battery?

Rechargeable batteries are made of nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rather than the alkaline and lithium formulations of disposable batteries. Rechargeable batteries can run for hundreds of cycles, meaning you don't have to buy and dispose of huge quantities of disposable batteries.
