Walmart scarborough- energizer batteries

[jadoocian]

The walmart at warden n eglington had a bunch of 12 pack batteries for 5$. It looked like a pretty good deal. They had AA, AAA. Also those bigger batteries- C, and D i think but you probably got less then 12 in those packs. All 5 bucks, seemed to have alot when I went.

they're probably overstocked since the boxing week flyer. Boxing week they had it for $4.97.

I'd say there's always a reason why they're cheap. Bought a pack for use on my wireless mouse / elec tooth brush. Turned out lasting about 1/4 to 1/3 vs Energizer / Duracell. To me it seems pretty annoying having to exchange them much more frequently and it's bad for the environment.

Edit: just did the math: before taxes:
Maxell: $8.77 / 48 = $0.183 each
Energizer: $5 / 12 = $0.417 each
At a 2.28 times' price, I will certainly go with Energizer.

Thanks for the heads up OP! Time to stock up.

My friend's wife has been using a insulin (sp?) pump for a number of years now and has come to the conclusion that nothing lasts longer than Energizer batteries. They even out live Duracell batteries by a long shot so I highly recommend these. I myself picked up about 5 packs of every size battery during the Boxing Week sale so this is a great opportunity for those who missed out.

What are non-rechargeable batteries? Is that like a VCR?

Keep in mind that--of the non-rechargable types-there's alkalines and non-alkalines. Alkalines are more expensive, but last longer (eg. Energizer, Duracell, some private makes like President's Choice and Kirkland/Costco). Non-alkalines don't last as long but are cheaper (eg. Maxell [edit: "torontodragon" reports that Maxell are alkaline], Eveready, Sunbeam, Panasonic, various dollar store makes, etc.). Look for the word "alkaline" on the package. Non-alkalines are fine for toys and remotes, but I use only alkalines for smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, emergency flashlights, etc.

This is a great price for alkalines. I almost stocked up on the President's Choice brand (made by Energizer) during their Boxing Week Sale, but Walmart's sale on Energizer worked out better.

The MAXELL one is labelled as ALKALINE. Can anyone confirm it's available in any other WALMART?

Thanks OP.

Good info. Thanks a lot! :)

I stand corrected, then. I've seen Maxells that weren't alkaline. In that case, I'm surprised there was such a difference between alkalines that "bonnieb" noticed, although the expiry dates would also have to be taken into account.

did they have any rechargable batteries on sale
