In my opinion, the worst part about using rechargeable batteries was always the amount of time you had to wait for your batteries to recharge once they were used up.  Apparently, I wasn't alone in my thinking, because Energizer recently came out with a 15 minute AA / AAA battery charger.I use reghargeable batteries in everyday things like flashlights, MP3 players, remote controls, and ...

We cannot carry around those big bulky flashlights with us all of the time. The Mag Lite AAA Mini Mag Lite provides such a lite that is small enough to put in your pure, pants pocket, or glove box in the car. It is very lightweight and provides a very high beam of light to see your way in the dark. Just like other Mag Lite products, this flashlight is durable, dependable, and doesn't cost a...

Who says a battery can't look good? The Tesco Power Hi Tech series is a great leap forward in many ways, especially aesthetics, from the ordinary Tesco batteries. This LRO3 1.5 Volts battery type has a blue wavy design at its positive end and a silver body with black and white writings. The metallic shine to it makes the battery look good and attractive, which made me and many other consume...

I discovered that GP, from the small print on the battery, stands for Gold Peak. It is a Hong Kong based Chinese company that specializes in the manufacture of cheap batteries and battery charger. And I do mean cheap. A packet of 2 300mAh AAA rechargeable batteries by GP costs only $2.50. The rechargeable batteries produced by GP generally costs between $2.50 to $6.00. The cheapest rechargeable...

Ok, so I've been planning this vacation for my mom.  She loves Elvis.  Her birthday is in May.  So I decide I'll take her to Memphis to see Graceland.  Well, I happen to be a member of AAA.  This is supposed to save me big bucks on hotels, car rentals, airfare, etc.  I log into my account and start pricing everything and the total comes to about $1,850.&nbs...

I signed up for AAA car insurance back in November, and can't wait to switch!  The salesman told me that I would be saving TONS of money by switching to them.  He took down all my information, and said that if I paid every month automatically by having them take the money out of my account, that I could save 5 dollars.  He didn't tell me that I would have to pay 7 dollars...

I joined AAA auto membership for one reason.  The feeling of knowing that you are safe on the road.  For instance I have sinced used it because I mistakenly locked the keys in the car while it was running.  The police can't help you for something like that and AAA came in a short period of time and the door open and I was back on my way.  They were very personable, also ...

I just conducted an extensive search for a new car insurance policy and AAA was one of the products in the running. Let me speak to why I chose against it.AAA actually is a highly rated insurer here in my home state, and the free insurance quote process was relatively painless. The quote provided also was fair and it put AAA in the running. However, there were a few things I was turned off by.F...

We've had AAA for over 10 years now.  Originally we got it for the towing and car trouble...and it has definately helped in that area as well.  But what some people don't realize is that it offers countless other discounts.  Just look up a hotel on line and you'll see in addition to the government discount and others, AAA is usually offered.  Disney World hotels ...

I use my Energizer AAA NiMH rechargeable batteries for everything. I use them in radio controlled cars, my MP3 player, flashlights, remotes, etc. They work great and last forever. Modifying and driving radio controlled cars is my hobby, so I need a lot of AAAs. I got a couple packs of these a few years ago, and since then I have gotten 5 or 6 more sets. They last quite a long time in my cars...

My sons go through a lot of batteries. It seems like everything they own runs on batteries, from remotes to mp3 players to games and many other devices. I have discovered that just because a battery costs more doesn't mean it lasts any longer.These Ray O Vac batteries seem to last just as long as most of the more expensive brands. They are availabe in AAA, AA, 9-volt, C and D. We usually bu...

When I had to buy batteries (because my clock batteries died), I had to go to walmart and buy more. I was overwhelmed by the numerous battery companies out there, such as Duracell, Panasonic, and many more (which I cannot think of on the spot). However, I decided to go with Panasonic because they were heavy duty. Anyhow, I have had the SAME Panasonic heavy-duty batteries for a VERY long time. I...

I have two digital cameras. I had been using the disposable batteries, but that seemed to get very expensive.  I had been looking at buying rechargeable batteries but I could never find a charger that I wanted or better yet could afford. While I was shopping at Walmart the other week I saw a battery charger with batteries that caught my attention so I purchased it.  It was the Kodak V...

Everyone would've seen the Duracell bunny race advertisement. Attracts the attention of the consumers immediately. (for those of you who dont know, the commercial was about a bunny winning the race with just one Duracell battery whereas its competition lost even with 4 ordinary batteries). This battery is unmistakable from other brands. The typical brown top-black body design gives this bat...

I use rechargeable batteries in my camera.  Since I only have 2 sets, when I'm on a trip and using my camera a lot (like at Disney :0), there are times that I need to charge my batteries quick.  My other charges take HOURS to charge.  But not this one, which is why it's my favorite :0)  It takes about 15 minutes, just like it says!It's about 5 by 2.5 inches,...

AAA Wireless Service has cell phone plans starting as low as $10 a month.  You do not have to sign any contracts when you go with AAA Wireless Service.  It is powered by Consumer Cellular.  They are an excellent choice for cell phone coverage.  I know several people that are very happy with them and will not switch to another carrier.  If you are looking for cell phone ...
