The answer to this question lies simply in how you use your AA and AAA alkaline battery or lithium battery.  Energizer lithium batteries offer superior performance in high drain electronic devices such as digital cameras and MP3 players.  Alkaline batteries are best for low drain devices like remote controls and alarm clocks.  Lithium batteries are built in a spirally wound construction. This design helps the battery meet the high current drains of many of today’s devices better than an alkaline battery.  Energizer lithium batteries also perform well in cold temperatures and weigh 1/3^rd less than the alkaline battery equivalent. 

Though it’s obvious that lithium batteries cost more up front, lithium batteries will still be powering your electronics as the other guy is buying more of his alkaline battery.  The truth is in the battery, Energizer lithium batteries last 5-6 times longer than an alkaline battery.

Are you constantly in need of replacement batteries? Do you find yourself wondering should you choose the cheapest brand or a major brand, like Duracell or Energizer? Lithium or rechargeable batteries? Like with so many products today: there are a ton of choices with little information and loads of marketing hype. It can be confusing, which is why a battery expert like Medic Batteries is an invaluable resource for information about replacement batteries. 

 Because at Medic Batteries, our knowledge means power! When shopping for replacement batteries, consumers are faced with many options concerning which replacement batteries are the best batteries. Alkaline batteries are good for everyday uses, particularly for low drain devices (those that do not use much energy.) The top of the line lithium batteries are designed for high drain applications and are the best batteries for quick recovery devices like a camera flash. The biggest advantage of lithium batteries is that they do not need to be changed as often. They also have a much longer shelf life.  Rechargeable batteries can be a good investment and are great for the environment, but it depends how you are planning to use them – there are limited applications for which rechargeables can be used.  When buying replacement batteries, use the following guidelines:

Decision #1 - Determine the type of applicationThe two main types of devices are high drain and low drain. Some applications, like CD players, fall about in the middle. Other applications, like MP3 players, or boom boxes, are high drain and need replacement batteries more often or should use lithium, while clocks and desk alarms are low drain. It’s important to select the right replacement battery for your application.

Decision #2 - Determine the ‘use by’ dateSome replacement batteries are stored too long before they are sold. Make sure to check the ‘use by’ date on replacement batteries before buying. The freshest alkaline batteries have a date no less than 5 years away. ‘Expired’ batteries have about 85% of their original capacity and are not the best battery in critical applications.  

Decision #3 - CHOOSING A BRAND…Hundreds of brands claim to be the best battery but only Energizer, Duracell and Ultralife can live up to this promise. These leading manufacturers produce the most trusted, dependable, high performance alkaline and lithium batteries on the market and are the very best replacement batteries for critical applications.  To choose the best battery from these excellent brands, try each kind of replacement batteries and keep track of the life you get from each. One of these top brands is sure to be the best battery for your needs. 

RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES are growing in popularity, but are they worth the investment? While the best selling rechargeable brand - Energizer rechargeable batteries - are great all-around batteries and terrific for the environment, rechargeable batteries are not ideal for all applications. The chemicals inside a rechargeable battery are reversible, allowing them to be recharged time and time again, up to a thousand times with Energizer rechargeables. Energizer rechargeable batteries offer good performance and cost less per use than alkaline batteries. However it’s important to know - NiMH battery rechargeable does not hold a charge like an alkaline battery. An alkaline battery is ‘turned on’ when it’s inside a device and the device is operating, a rechargeable battery drains everyday, whether it’s in a device or not. It’s important to re-charge rechargeable batteries often to maintain maximum capacity. You shouldn’t use a rechargeable battery in smoke detectors, baby monitors or wireless mics.
