Perhaps you should buy more than just 4...
I really wish AAA batteries and AA batteries would get into a fight, and one of them would win. Why? So no one has to feel the anguish of running out of one type only to have plenty of the other.Published: July 14, 2010
Pros:
They make things light up, fun for the slingshot when they die
Cons:
Slip hazard
Everyone hearts batteries. I mean everyone. From the remote control to my girlfriend stealing it to fuel her vibe, we can all enjoy them. My qualm with a 4-pack is the fact that four are never enough. Think about it. Most remotes take two. In fact, just about every hand held device takes two or four batteries. Why buy only four when you will have to buy more in a couple weeks? This is a waste of product packaging.
I propose batteries should be sold in packages no less than 20. Why? They will stick around for a lot longer or power up more devices. Two Wii controllers, a digital camera, the girlfriend’s vibe, and the can opener account for twelve batteries already. Bam. Put those eight extra in the junk drawer for when the DVD remote dies…or you can build a fort. Like a mini fort for Lego guys or something. Whatever floats your boat.
Furthermore, people love to steal batteries from their buddies when they rummage through drawers. You know you have done it. I did it. You say to yourself, "I wish I had batteries so I can stop pissing off the girlfriend by making her get off her ass to change the channel." Then again, she can make me a sandwich, level a cabinet, and water my plants while she is up. Hmmm...decisions decisions.
By the way, screw AAA batteries. Rarely are they useful. Flashlights, remotes, cameras, etc. primarily use AA. If only my laptop ran on AA batteries. Think about it, power for my computer and frequent ammo for my slingshot. I consider this a win-win situation. The squirrels in my back yard will not know what hit them. Then again, would a squirrel understand what a battery is in the first place? I think not.

Packaging for Batteries
-
I'd really like to know what packaging the AA batteries 4-pack comes in. The picture doesn't show. I've bought the N batteries, and those came in your "traditional" cardboard backing with plastic on front, but then I bought C batteries and they were just four C batteries rolled into a plastic baggie.
I want to purchase these to donate to the local women's shelter, but they'll only accept unwrapped items, so I need to know if it comes in "normal" battery packaging or if it will just be batteries in a plastic baggie. Anyone know? -
I've purchases this numerous times and they've always come traditionally packaged.

The packaging is a thin cardboard square with the plastic shell on the front holding the batteries like when you buy batteries from the store. The cardboard is really generic without any brand name on it. It just says "alkaline batteries" and it's black with white letters... but the batteries are indeed Duracell's and they have the name on them.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for viewing AA batteries 4pack review page!
Funny...very funny
Hilarious, I don't think I've actually seen a review on batteries on here before, nicely done
lol very amusing review and I totally agree I never have enough batteries lol
I do my best.
I didn't think batteries lent themselves to humorous 'sex toy' reviews, but I was wrong. Nicely done.
Thanks for the review
"Then again, she can make me a sandwich, level a cabinet, and water my plants while she is up. "
This is hilarious. You and my guy would get a long just fine! Great review!
BTW... we buy batteries from Costco, in huge packs! Between, my toys (vibrators), his toys (electronics), and the babies toys ( every damn toy takes a different type), we use a lot. We did invest in some rechargeable ones recently, but only in AA.
hahaha love the review! : )
LOL didn't ever think i'd see a review on batteries... thanks!
Thank you!
I wish they also sold larger packs n batteries here on EF, as they are cheaper and if you're already going to buy a toy, why not ship it with the toys for a cheaper cost. Again.. if you have two toys (forget the clock, xbox controller, small camera, remote, flashlight etc) right there is four batteries.
