Tips and Tricks:

Never mix battery types (Alkaline, NiMH, Zinc Carbon)

When the lower-performance batteries are exhausted, the longer-lasting batteries will force discharge current through them, which can cause corrosion and hydrogen gas formation. No fun!

Do not leave battery powered devices switched “on” after the batteries are exhausted

This can cause erosion in your device.

Store batteries in a cool and dry place

Extreme heat or even cold can shorten the longevity of the battery. Never refrigerate.

remove icon

Remove batteries from any device that will be stored

Many devices don’t turn off completely when not in use, so they still use a small amount of power. If a device is stored this way for an extended period of time, like months or years, the batteries can run out and corrode. Not what you want when you dig that old toy out of the closet!

Do not carry batteries loose in purses or pockets

Doing so can cause burns, or cause batteries to explode.
