If any present that you have wrapped up under the tree requires batteries, it’s going to make a big difference on the day if you have a handy supply, especially when it comes to children’s toys.
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when buying batteries;
- You get what you pay for. Cheap batteries generally offer poor performance and a short lifespan so stick to the brand names you know, especially for high-drain devices like kids toys.
- Consider rechargeable batteries. Surprisingly they don’t cost that much more than single use batteries and are both more cost effective and environmentally friendly than single use batteries.
- Dispose of your old batteries properly. This means ensuring they don’t end up in landfill. Some supermarkets have a recycling bin for batteries, Battery World stores across Australia can also take them off your hands, or check with recyclingnearyou.com.au for the best location to dispose of them.
