Alkaline Batteries


So what's the difference?

That is a very good question. The chemistry for the alkaline battery was developed by none other than America's favorite inventor, Thomas Alva Edison in the year 1901. Since that time, the fundamental concept has not changed. What has been changed, is the chemical components used in battery construction; most notably the removal of mercury and cadmium, both rather nasty elements from an environmental standpoint.

Alkaline batteries have become the preferred power storage system for most of the convenience devices we use everyday with good reason. You wouldn't want to carry a lead acid car battery for your I-pod or flashlight! Today's alkaline batteries last longer and perform better than ever before. Many companies around the world build batteries, no surprise there. Like every product, specific models perform very good in some applications, and not so well in others. Different battery powered devices demand differently in terms of its power draw. Makes perfect sense doesn't it?

There are two companies, who through multi-million dollar advertising campaigns, have most Americans convinced that their batteries are the only quality products available to you. One uses a cute bunny, the other wants you to think that copper is better. (Guess what? There is no copper in alkaline batteries......none.)
These two corporate giants laugh all the way to the bank as they charge you up to 5 times more than you have to pay for top quality alkaline batteries. Imagine that!
