Batteries are the unsung heroes of our daily lives. They quietly power our devices, making it possible for us to stay connected, work, play, and explore. In this guide we'll walk you through the basics, helping you make informed decisions about which batteries to buy and how to care for them.

Alkaline batteries
These are the most common and are perfect for everyday use. They're found in remotes, toys, and countless other devices. Alkaline batteries are disposable, so once they run out of juice, it's time to recycle.

Rechargeable batteries
If you're tired of constantly buying disposable batteries, rechargeables are the way to go. They're eco-friendly and cost-effective in the long run. Popular options include nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium-ion rechargeable batteries.

Lithium batteries
For high-performance needs, such as digital cameras, GPS devices, and flashlights, lithium batteries are top-notch. They have a longer lifespan and work better in extreme temperatures.
