In 1898 Eveready made the first D size battery and in 1989 the first AAAA alkaline. For over a hundred years, the alkaline battery remains the standard power source for many devices--from flashlights to MP3 players, the alkaline battery continues to evolve. The most recent addition comes in the first environmentally friendly rechargeable alkaline battery.

The shelf life for alkaline batteries averages up to 7 years. Current delivery depends on the size and more power results from multiple batteries in line. Alkaline batteries cost less than NiCad and NiMH. When buying alkaline batteries consider the following factors:

1. Provide customers with several sizes including AAAA, AAA, AA, D, C and 9-volt.

2. Consider the popularity of newer rechargeable alkaline batteries.

3. Find wholesale pricing, made even lower when ordering in quantity.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Locate AAAA batteries for small devices


The AAAA alkaline battery fits stylus flashlights, penlights and Laser pointers.

I recommend: Choose Energizer 2-pack or Interstate 14-pack batteries at InterstateBatteries.com. See Duracell Ultra and Energizer 6/card at ZBattery.com.

Get deep discount AAA alkaline batteries


Cameras, GPS units, pagers and music players often require AAA batteries.

I recommend: BFMBatterysales.com carries tiered discounts from 30 to 1,190 batteries and up. Buy wholesale Elite Plus batteries at MegaBatteries.com.

Select wholesale AA alkaline batteries


Digital cameras, MP3 players, GPS units and pocket flashlights typically use AA batteries.

I recommend: Order 50 AA Universal heavy-duty battery brand by the box at BatteryWholesale.com. Buy the Camelion 24 pack at CKBProducts.com.

Find good prices for alkaline D batteries and alkaline size C batteries


Large D and C size batteries remain the standard for flashlights and radios.

I recommend: Click “C” or “D” at LowCostBatteries.com for bulk orders. Select from a variety of name brand C batteries at AtBatt.com. Choose carton, OEM bulk packing or Wholesale pallet quantities of size D with tiered pricing at MicroBattery.com.

Order popular brands of 9 volt alkaline batteries


These batteries find many uses including smoke detectors, microphones and toys.

I recommend: Find the right brand name including Duracell, Mallory, Energizer and Eveready on orders of 12 to over 250 batteries at Batteries and Butter. Order 100 to 1000 Camelion Plus 9 volt batteries at OnlyBatteries.com.

Get environmentally friendly rechargeable alkaline batteries


These batteries don't use toxic metals and have a 5 to 7 year shelf life. Cost advantages result from longer usage, for example, one AAA Pure Energy battery offers the equivalence of 50 single use batteries while the XL battery features a higher life cycle.

I recommend: For Rayovac Renewal, C size rechargeable alkaline battery and charger go to CheapBatteries.com. Place an order for AA and AAA alkaline rechargeable batteries at JuiceBattery.com with rechargeable alkaline battery kit. Get Pure Energy AA and AAA rechargeable alkaline batteries at SundanceSolar.com, and order the battery adapters that hold 2 AA’s for C and D size.

Tips & Tactics
