Halve your battery cost

Halve your battery cost

By switching to rechargeable batteries you could save more than 50% of the cost of single use batteries over the next 5 years.

Here's how:

Let's compare our eneloop 10 hour standard charger which comes with four pre-charged eneloop AA batteries against buying a four pack of Energizer MAX AA single use batteries.

Our rechargeable option costs $59.95

The four pack of Energizer MAX AA's will set you back $9.35.

At six times the price the rechargeable option looks expensive. But what if we think about this over the next say five years.  On average use you will probably change your batteries 3 times per year so over five years the cost of replacing the Enegizer single use batteries grows to $140.25.  

With the rechargeable option you don't need to spend any more for the five years and the additional cost to your electricity bill each time you recharge the four batteries will be less than one cent.  Yes, $0.01 is the cost of the electricity needed to get you back to fully charged.

Our eneloop batteries can be recharged up to 2,100 times so the longer you use them the more you save.

The other big deal here is the number of batteries that didn't end up in landfill.  In our five year example above you would have used 60 single use batteries.  If you choose the rechargeable option you will still be enjoying the same 4 batteries you purchased at the beginning. 

It costs less and it is better for our environment. A small change can make a big difference.
