What are the Best AA batteries to buy that last the longest? You may be asking yourself this question and I am about to answer it! It’s a holiday season and that means food, presents and if not prepared, lots of disappointment. In between all the hustle and bustle and last minute presents your kids want (and totally forgot to tell you about), its easy to realize on Christmas Eve you forgot the batteries.
And that is if you are lucky.
The really stressed out parents find out the morning OF Christmas.
This holiday season 2017, we have purchased many presents that need to be powered up.
From super fun family games that include moving parts and some ultra cool laser guns, always check your purchases for batteries when you buy! But just grabbing any old pack of batteries just wont do when you want something to be powered for a long time!
Do not forget the batteries
Batteries are probably the most important part of your holiday season. Simply put, many of those toys rely on power and there is nothing worse than waking up on a holiday morning and realizing you got this uber-cool toy for your child that is useless.
How sad would it be to get those laser guns with no way to turn them on!
I don’t know about you, but I have had more than one Christmas in the past 12 years that I have taken my robe and went off in hopes to find at least ONE store open to grab those AA‘s.
And I am not alone!
According to Energizer’s survey (in 2016 and 2017):
- 54% of parents run out to buy batteries last minute around the holidays.
- Two in five moms have forgotten batteries for a holiday gift.
- 85% of parents remember the look of delight when their child saw a battery-powered toy come to life for the first time.
- 81% of parents say battery-powered devices keep them sane on long holiday trips.
Do NOT let this be you.
