Re: "D" size batteries.....cheap vs. better brands?

 

Lots of battery sales at this time of year.

 

Tons of toys, candles, etc. need them.

 

I get good deals on Duracell with coupons and then money added on card for next purchases at Rite-Aid.

I buy D-size alkaline batteries for my Mr. Beams outdoor spotlights every year, sometimes longer...like 16 months. Each of my spotlights uses 3 Ds. I buy these from Amazon for about $14 per box of 12 Duracell Alkaline Ds:

I buy the cheaper ones at Dollar General & they last the whole Christmas season in my candles & wreath.

I never buy off-brand or cheap batteries.  Ever.  I learned my lesson. They just do not last, especially for things like battery operated candles, etc.
