Has Anyone Tried Dollar Tree AA Batteries?

rockygems123 — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 20:57:25 GMT

Not sure if they have other sizes but picked up a couple AA batteries 8ct for $1.25 packages which is .16 ea.

Lowest price I've ordered from Amazon is .27 ea.

Receiving a few VPH mini lanterns and will use those to test them out. Will be interesting to see how long they last!

Anyone try them? Or other Dollar Tree batteries?

I've been using them for years - Never had any problems - I also buy the AAA, C and D batteries.

I've found them to be a great (money-saving) deal.

I tried their batteries several years ago and didn't have good results. Put them in tv remotes and clocks. They didn't last long.

@rockygems123 In my neck of woods we have .99¢ & Dollar Stores ($1.07) stores. I have never had an issue using their batteries.

Yes, used them in my magnifying lens. They work, but not for a long time. I had to change them out frequently.

Yes I've used the AAA and AA and they just keep working along.

I got some a few years ago and thought they did as long a job as Duracell or EverReady.

I think it is the device not the batteries that makes batteries last long or not.

Well that is great to know, thanks! I'm leery buying some things at Dollar Tree and have been proven wrong, so far have never been disappointed.

Just discovered the store in the last year as friends told me about the great card prices.

I used to buy cheap batteries, for my mouse and garage door opener. I was replacing them every two months,

Went back to Kirkland (Costco) and Member Mark ( Sam's club).

Haven't had to replace the batteries in over a year.

They seemed ok to me. I recently bought some Rayovac batteries from either Lowes or Home Depot, and they seem very good.

I've bought Amazon basics in the past, too. Just ok.

Personally, I haven't had any problem with them.

I use them regularly.

I make sure to buy the heavy-duty batteries.

I use all of them--the AA, AAA, C and D.

Yes I use them for my candles. They donn't last as long as Duracell but for the candles they are fine.

@rockygems123

Not sure why you'd question them. They have brand name batteries with long expiration dates, so what is the issue?

I have been buying them for years from the 99 Cents Stores and Dollar Tree.

I figured if, for some reason, they only lasted half as long, they'd still be a bargain.

(They didn't last only half as long.)

I tried them a few years ago. They did not last very long. Never bought them again, maybe they are better today.

Why did I question others who have tried them? To get their opinions.

Why do you post incessant pet posts? Most likely because you want to do that.

Same here I buy the 100 count from Amazon. Will be interesting to see how the Dollar Tree store ones compare.

I would guess they source cheap batteries from wherever they can get them. Some ok, some good, some real duds.

For things we rely on, we buy the best.
