As you change batteries in smoke detectors, and buy holiday toys, here is when to buy rechargeables, and when not to.
Whether you're shopping for new batteries for smoke alarms or toys for the upcoming holiday season, you might be surprised how pricey batteries are getting."I think they would be helpful, and save money," she said.
Dylan Smith, a manager at a Tru-Value hardware store, Woods Hardware, expects rechargeables to be hot sellers this holiday season.If you are trying to decide between a standard battery and a more expensive rechargeable battery, price is important, as they can cost twice the price of a standard Duracell or Energizer.When to buy rechargeables
Shanika Whitehurst of Consumer Reports says rechargeable is the way to go if you're constantly swapping out batteries on children's toys."They go through batteries, they eat through batteries, especially double A's and Triple A's," she said. That is the ideal scenario for a rechargeable battery.When not to buy rechargeables
But Consumer Reports says for items that consume energy at a lower rate, it's often better to stick to single-use batteries."Regular batteries are made to be able to discharge over longer periods of time in those devices," she said.Consumer Reports says rechargeables, while more expensive initially, can be reused 500 to one-thousand times.
So while you're paying more upfront for rechargeables, you're stocking up a lot less often. And that way you don't waste your money.Don't Waste Your Money" is a registered trademark of Scripps Media, Inc. .Follow John on Twitter
