Where is a good place to buy batteries online these days? I feel like Amazon is a crap shoot with all the expired product or knock-offs they have.

- mschuster91 9y agoHmm. In Germany, I shop batteries at conrad.de - an electronic retailer chain. They're expensive, yes, but the stock is quality, you can get weird stuff like coin cells with solderable pads on them (which gets handy when you're repairing old stuff with soldered batteries!) and you can have them ship to the nearest store for pickup.
- alexasmyths 9y agoI think with batteries you get what you pay for. It's a tragedy that there is no objective measure for gosh sakes - some last hours some last days. Can't tell from the label. The name-brand batteries I get tend to vastly outlast the off-brand ones - Im amazed they can't put some kind of 'kWh' on their labels.
- xinyhn 9y agoDefinitely possible the various brands of batteries have changed since this testing I have referenced this in the past. http://www.batteryshowdown.com/results-hi.html http://www.batteryshowdown.com/results-hi.html
- rainbowmverse 9y agoI bought some AmazonBasics AAs for my old camera (Canon PowerShot SX100 IS). They last hundreds of shots on a charge. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HZV9TGS/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HZV9TGS/
