Save more by switching to rechargeable batteries

Postby darkuszerx » 20 Dec 2022, 02:31

You can save more by switching to rechargeable batteries than by having to buy new batteries every time you need to use batteries. Indeed, the price of a rechargeable battery will be more expensive than when you buy a non-rechargeable battery, but in the future you will save money because you don't have to buy it again and all you need is to charge it again before you can use it.

Yes it will save you a lot of money but I think you need to be able to afford more than one pair of them, so you don't need to wait for them to be fully charged. Just switch to another pair while you charge the other pair.

I use it on many electronic devices that rely on batteries for power such as a remote or even toys and it's been great so far because all I have to do is charge it before I can use it again.

There are hundreds if not thousands of new inventions that promise much more than they can deliver. Rechargeable batteries are in that group.

I have gone to great expense to reduce my electric utility bill over the past several years. Based on local utility statements, I have successfully reduced my monthly bill to about 20% of the local monthly average.

Part of that effort was to install battery operated lighting through out the house that relied on three AA batteries to operate. I started out using fresh Non Rechargeable High Energy Alkaline Batteries. A set lasted about a year before they needed to be replaced. The light in the bathroom only uses 2 AA batteries and has been working on the same set for 4 years.

I saw and purchased several packs of the rechargeable batteries so I would not have to keep buying the single use batteries and was excited to make the switch. My initial reaction was disappointment because the lights were not as bright with the rechargeable batteries. I was further disappointed because they did not even last a month before they needed to be recharged.

I noticed the same low performance with the single rechargeable AA battery I installed in my computer mouse. Again, it did not last longer than a month.

I went out looking and found a different brand but had nearly the same experience.

Sounds like a good idea but the current rechargeable product does not hold up to their promise. Yea, they work, but they do not work long between charges and they don't offer the same level of power. It is sort of like comparing a 4 to an 8 cylinder car engine.

I have gone back to the Alkaline batteries. I only keep the rechargeable batteries around as an emergency fall back item.

Yeah sorry, I didn't consider the battery's strength after being charged repeatedly, which should be different from the battery when you first buy it, especially when compared to a non-chargeable battery. Thanks for giving your opinion.

I just use rechargeable batteries for my emergency backup if I don't have any batteries left to use, because rechargeable batteries will not have the exact same power as non-rechargeable batteries.

The only problem with rechargeable batteries in my location is that we don't have stable electricity to recharge them. Unless solar rechargeable batteries, you might end up spending as much to charge electric rechargeable batteries.

But buying batteries almost all the time cost even more than the rechargeable. So rechargeable is still better.

I have been there. Done that. Buying batteries is another kind of money wastage venture. It could render you broke in days because those non rechargeable batteries don't last.

Rechargeable batteries depreciate though. But before they completely die off, you would have saved enough money that would have been spent on running non rechargeable batteries. That is if you buy a good brand of rechargeable batteries.

I never really bought into the craze of rechargeable batteries since someone gifted me a power bank. It has helped me to make money online since my phone rarely goes off due to the usage of that power bank.

Rechargeable batteries help you to save money. It gets better if it is self recharging like solar. My brother has those big sizes rechargeable batteries and solar panel in his bet shop. In one month, cost reduced and revenue increased.

Rechargeable batteries can easily be used to and recharged more than a hundred times and they cost $10 on average. Disposable batteries cost $2 on average but using it for a hundred times doubles the cost of sticking with rechargeable batteries.

That's another thing. Using the rechargeable batteries as recommended would make it last for us to feel it's real cost saving potential.
