Recommended Brands/Products

We are often asked which brand is best.  We won't claim a "best," but we have recommendations.

The Energizer Industrial may be the most chosen alkaline brand among government/municipality, healthcare, education, and various professional contractors, who trust it for safety and reliability.  It is clearly our top seller.  The Energizer Industrial lineup is made in the USA, with the exception of the AA and 9V batteries.

If your business, OSHA or voluntary safety standard require the use of only "industrial" or "professional" batteries, the Energizer Industrial, Duracell Procell, and Rayovac UltraPro batteries meet this standard.

Lithium batteries are only a good value when used in a very high drain device.  A lithium battery may last only slightly longer than an alkaline battery in some devices, but may last 8 times as long in other devices.

Coin batteries - we continue to source only Energizer, Duracell, or Rayovac items.  We could offer cheaper brands, but we hear too many stories of failed batteries.  We offer very low pricing on the top brand coin batteries, and we recommend that you stay with a top brand.

We price our products largely according to our cost to source, not according to which battery is supposedly the best.  Battery quality is not always indicated as best based on highest price and worst based on lowest price.  A lower-priced battery may perform similarly to a higher-priced battery.  We will let you the buyer decide.
