How Much Are Batteries Really Costing You?

You might be spending more on batteries than you think.

Most families buy batteries a few packs at a time and rarely stop to add it all up.  A pack for the TV remote here.  A few batteries for a toy there.  Some for gaming controllers, torches, clocks, cameras, smoke alarms, keyboards and Christmas decorations.

Because the purchases are small and spread throughout the year, the true cost often goes unnoticed.

That’s why we’ve built the Power Pals Battery Calculator.

In less than a minute, you can estimate how much your household spends on disposable batteries each year—and what that could look like over five years.
