The choice of batteries should be based on the power of the devices in which they will be installed. Remote controls or flashlights will use the cheapest batteries, while devices such as a camera or player will require more expensive and better power sources.
Instructions
Step 1
For simple devices (remote control, timer, tester, etc.), salt batteries are suitable. They have a relatively low cost, but they are suitable for powering low-power devices. These energy sources are marked with the letter R. The second digit of the identifier indicates the size of the product.
Step 2
If you choose items for devices with high power consumption (cameras, players, etc.), pay attention to alkaline batteries, which have a larger capacity and a long service life. Such products are marked with the abbreviation LR.
Step 3
Before buying batteries of a particular brand, pay attention to the quality of the printing of the product packaging and the inscriptions. Fake sources may have the name misspelled or poor-quality paint applied.
Step 4
When purchasing, check the expiration date of the item. Do not purchase products that are near the end of their useful life. Otherwise, the battery may leak and damage the device in which it is used. Elements used during the first year after their manufacture last the longest.
Step 5
Batteries marked "photo" have increased capacity and are designed for use in cameras. Such products are much more expensive, but they have a longer service life. Photo batteries are able to release energy faster, which has a positive effect on the speed of the device itself.
