I’m stocking up on batteries. I was watching some YouTube videos and noticed a great way to store batteries: ammo cases.

It’s bad to mix them all in one drawer or bag because they can drain if their innies and outies smash.

Anyway, I’ve got Amazon, Duracell, and Energizer. I noticed that Amazon had a bunch of Chinese written on them, so screw that.

What say you? Energizer or Duracell? Energizer seems to be the choice.

Anyone know of a great wholesale site to buy from? Costco, BJ’s, some website?

Just how many vibrators does a person need?

Duracell and Energizer are equal in my eyes! Anything else is second tier. Would love to know another brand thats good!

Price for performance is Amazon especially on sale. If you want the longest lasting, Energizer Ultimate Lithium. I like Amazon cause with 2 kids, everything needs AA or AAA and the shite I put them in are collecting dust before the batteries run out. Don’t need to waste money on expensive batteries for that stuff

Do a Google search for battery daddy. It's a double sided case for storing batteries and eliminates the cluster frick of having them all jammed in a drawer.

shite. Battery Daddy is the joint!

I have 24 AA. And 20 AA.

That should be plenty enough.


I need to stock up on more C, D, and the rectangle ones

Believe it or not, dollar tree batteries work fine and last nearly as long as energizer. Use them in all our remotes.

Depends on the date they were made. But the best value we found was the HEB brand batteries. Outlasted the Duracell and Rayovac and cheaper to purchase. They didn’t outlast the Energizer but they don’t cost as much either. This was an experiment with AA batteries and LED flashlights.

Look up "project farm" on YouTube. Pretty sure he did batteries.

And if not, still a ton of useful reviews.

The best way to answer the question is watch some of the objective tests on youtube.

I almost exclusively use rechargeable batteries and the key here is to buy Japenese made ones, I use Eneloop and have some that are over 10 years old and used daily albeit in low draw applications.

No they do not - neither do the Kirkland (Costco) or Member’s Mark (Sam’s)

I quit using Duracells a few years ago because I had so many leak and ruin whatever they were in.
