batteries
« on: September 22, 2015, 07:31:35 am »
I ordered some and when the package came, one pack of 4 AA batteries came damaged. .....didn't work at all. I sent an email for a request to replace them for me.
Because of that, I did some research on battery brands.
 Next time, I'll buy a different brand from a different company.

I bought that big package of batteries from sam's club (or costco), and the batteries corroded within the year.   In my remote control, in my wii fit, in my computer mouse...   Not all of them, but the ones that stayed in play for awhile.    They were Duracell too.   Now I stick to the cheap ones from the dollar store and just replace them frequently.   They seem to last a long time too, so worth the $1.00 for 8 batteries.

A lot of companies are ignoring their customers. They cant stay in business too long if they keep it up

Rechargeable or duracel batteries are what I usually purchased.

If I buy a supply they leak or don't work when I need them so I wait until the last minute  and try and get the freshest...looking at their expiration date.

I need to jump on the rechargeable bandwagon. They are better for the environment.
