At BuyDirect, we know there's nothing more inconvenient than a device running out during the working day, especially when you're focused on an important task. That's why many of our batteries can be purchased in bulk, from as little as 2 to 144 single units!

Discover the wide variety of batteries on offer at BuyDirect and how you should use each type below:

Alkaline

Alkaline batteries are steady-voltage batteries powered by zinc and manganese dioxide electrodes. What's great about this particular battery is that it offers a reliable power source, as well as a higher energy density than the carbon-zinc type.

Discover more than 60 varieties of alkaline batteries at BuyDirect, including the Procell Alkaline D Batteries. These provide optimal performance for general purpose industrial applications and work best with low to mid-drain devices.

For more powerful applications, try the Duracell Optimum Alkaline Batteries. Its higher energy output provides an extra long battery life for your devices, with a voltage of 1.5V.

Lithium

As a rechargeable battery, lithium batteries are even longer lasting than the classic alkaline variety. Choose this type to power everyday consumer devices, including everything from mobile phones, laptops, digital cameras, and flashlights to security systems and medical devices.

One of our bestsellers is the Duracell Speciality High-Power Lithium Battery range, which offers a 10-year guarantee against material defects. Alternatively, try the safety-conscious Energizer Ultimate Lithium Batteries. Their leak-proof design can perform in temperatures ranging from -40℉ to 140℉, and last for up to a huge 20 years in storage.

Rechargeable

If cost efficiency is your priority, we'd recommend rechargeable batteries.

Options like the Energizer NiMH Rechargeable Batteries can be used hundreds of times, with a charge that lasts up to 12 months in storage, therefore removing the hassle of needing to order new batteries each month. This gives you more time and money to focus on taking care of your customers!

Choose rechargeable batteries for devices that are used on a daily basis, including your remote control, radio, keyboard, headset, flashlight, and many other frequently-utilized items.

Coin

Coin batteries are singular-cell batteries that come in a small circular shape. While similar to button batteries, this variety is thinner and offers a higher voltage.

Coin batteries are therefore ideal for small, yet powerful devices such as car keys, scales, calculators, remote controls, and bank card readers. Long-lasting models like the Energizer 2016 Lithium Coin Battery are also useful for specialty medical devices, like glucose and heart rate monitors.

4 Benefits of Alkaline Batteries

Not yet convinced that alkaline batteries are what your business' electronics need? Discover 4 benefits that this powerful battery type offers:

High Energy: With around double the output of a carbon-zinc battery, alkaline batteries can last much longer than other varieties, while being just as powerful.

Reliable Power: Most alkaline batteries have a shelf life of around 5 to 10 years, compared to 3 to 5 years for carbon-zinc. They only lose approximately 5% of their power each year and are known for their durability during use.

Incredibly Safe: Unlike many other battery types, alkaline batteries are less likely to leak acid, which can ruin devices and cause burns to human skin. These batteries are also much easier to dispose of, as they pose a lower contaminant risk to soil and have less of an environmental impact.

Highly Versatile: One big advantage of using an alkaline battery is that it operates efficiently in lower temperatures, therefore working well in cold climates. They also come in triple and double A varieties, along with several different voltages to suit a variety of power applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about alkaline batteries in our FAQ section below and make informed purchasing decisions for your business:

What is the Difference Between Alkaline Batteries and Normal Batteries?

Alkaline batteries offer a higher energy output than other battery types, particularly carbon-zinc varieties. This makes them suitable for high-drain or industrial devices that require better performance batteries to operate smoothly. They also offer a longer-lasting source of power and a shelf life of up to 10 years.

Are Lithium or Alkaline Batteries Better?

Lithium batteries typically last around 6 times longer than alkaline batteries, although this can vary based on the manufacturer. They also have a higher energy density and can perform well in extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. However, lithium batteries tend to be more expensive and come with a higher environmental impact than the alkaline variety.

What Are Alkaline Batteries Best Suited To?

Alkaline batteries can be used in both extremely hot and cold temperatures, which is why they are suitable for use in outdoor and industrial equipment. This includes everything from flashlights to mosquito repellent devices. However, they are also useful in regular office and household items, including radios, remote controls, cameras, and other electronic devices.

Should I Choose Alkaline or Rechargeable Batteries?

Rechargeable batteries are most cost-effective and environmentally friendly because they can be used hundreds of times. This makes them more ideal for those devices that you use on an everyday basis, such as remote controls and keyboards. Alkaline batteries are more convenient for low-drain applications that are used less frequently, especially those in extremely hot or cold outdoor environments.
