![]() ![]() Unless you have earplugs, that Christmas morning toy-puppy may end up under the wheels of a snowplow, ( going-going…gone) when the promises of the “Energizer bunny” become apparent. The downside…they’ve been known to leak on occasion…whether used or not. They can also sit unused for up to decade and still provide useful power. But…go BELOW zero (-17C) and their useful life is decreased by about 60%. Temperature-wise, they’ll be pretty good down to about 0☏. When compared to the carbon-zinc variety, their claim to fame is long-lasting power. Basically Duracell and Energizer are your choices. The one that’s readily available at every corner store, gas station, subway station, supermarket, big-box store and shoeshine stand the world over. Operating a battery-powered puppy on Christmas morning, (while probably a blessing) will only get a couple of hours worth of ear-piercing yelps before these AA cells crap out! And if you live in an igloo… oh well. At a temperature of 0☏ (-17☌) they quickly lose 75% of their service life. They also won’t work too well in temperatures below 20☏ (-6☌) and have a shorter shelf-life. They’re cheap, because they don’t last long and their power capacities are less. These are your run-of-the-mill, (sometimes no-name) dollar store batteries that are usually $1 per 4-pack. Different Battery Chemistryīefore we go any further let’s differentiate the types of AA battery chemistry for which you, the average consumer, might be using. What are the best AA batteries for winter you ask? Well, the answer may surprise you! And since AA’s are used for so many different applications these days, it only makes sense to make sure they’re usefulness includes extreme temperatures as well.
