Frequently asked questions

Are rechargeable batteries worth it?

For anything used regularly, absolutely: a good rechargeable pays for itself within a handful of cycles and modern low-self-discharge cells hold their charge in a drawer for months. Keep alkalines for smoke alarms, remotes and other low-drain devices.

How do I avoid counterfeit batteries online?

Buy listings sold or fulfilled by reputable sellers, be suspicious of prices well below the norm, and skim recent reviews, which is usually where fakes get reported first.

Does the charger really matter for rechargeables?

Yes. A smart charger that monitors each cell individually charges safely and extends battery life, while crude chargers cook cells over time. Highly-rated smart chargers cost only a little more.
