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.

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 Happy posting and have a wonderful day.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 posting and take care.

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.

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 . But my husband trusts only the branded and expensive ones .... Take care and happy posting

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 . Energizer brand batteries are very common in my country as well. They are so popular that we could find them from stall to hypermarket.

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.

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. Happy posting and have a nice day.

Nowadays I like to use chargeable batteries for my digital camera. As the common batteries will run out soon. It is much more economical to use chargeable batteries. I love China

Yeah youless, it is always wise to use the chargeable batteries for our digital camera or other electric devices, because this is the more economical way of using batteries. Moreover they have longer lifespan as well. I only find that it is a little bit inconvenient as we have to take the trouble to recharge them every now and then. happy posting and take care.

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.

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 posting and take care.
