Our hypothesis was that the Duracell batteries would outlast the Aldi batteries. One small nit: the expiration date on the Aldi batteries is in smaller print than, say, Duracell. The batteries I bought had an expiration date of a little over 6 years from the date of purchase, which I think is reasonable for an 8-pack. Each battery also lists the country of manufacture (China) as well as the expiration date. The batteries themselves contain your usual battery information, including voltage specs and all the usual warnings about how you shouldn’t throw them in a fire. Side note: Aldi sometimes packs batteries in with products that need them, and in those instances those batteries are virtually always Activ Energy.Īldi batteries come in your typical battery packaging: clear plastic front, paper back.
Outside of Aldi, the only AA or AAA 8-packs I know of that are cheaper per battery are from Dollar General. That’s a pretty competitive price, especially when you consider that the price-per-battery numbers I mentioned before for Amazon and Rayovac can only be had if you buy bulk packages of 48-72 batteries. (It’s possible they carry C or D cells, but I haven’t seen them.) At the time of this post, an 8-pack of AA or AAA batteries runs $2.49. I’ve seen Aldi carry AA, AAA, and 9V batteries. They’re almost always found in the store’s checkout aisle, under the Activ Energy label.Īctiv Energy Super Alkaline Batteries are a Regular Buy, which means you can find them in stores all the time. Amazon sells generic AA batteries for about 30 cents a battery, while Rayovac, a budget battery maker, sells batteries that can be found in Walmart for as cheap as 24 cents a battery sometimes.Īldi also sells batteries. And when I went in to my local Walgreens to get an 8-pack of Duracell batteries, I paid a dollar per battery … and that was when they were on sale. When I shopped around online for a name brand AA battery, even a large pack typically ran more than 50 cents per battery.
