Cheap Batteries.

Think of all the wireless gadgets in your home and then count all the batteries that keep them going. And then consider how often you need to replace these little sources of energy and the cost of doing so. Battery technology has advanced over the years, and now there are relatively inexpensive batteries that can hold their own in low-drain applications like clocks and flashlights and others that do well in high-drain applications like digital cameras. The choice between a cheap alkaline battery that's dumped after its charge depletes or a cheap NiMH battery that can be recharged hundreds of times depends on the device it's connected to. Just don't waste your pennies on the super-cheap batteries sold in bulk for about a dollar. For more information, turn to our buying guide on the best cheap batteries.
