COMMUNICATIONS & ELECTRONICS

The other day we heard someone in the warehouse shouting, “I'm rich! I'm rich!” It was Pat, who thought he was standing in front of a gigantic pile of quarters. We had to tell him they were Panasonic industrial CR2032 coin cell batteries. Can't blame him, though—they look awfully similar. These are take-outs from medical equipment, and we’ll send you (50) 2-packs with each order. We’ve spot-checked a bunch of them with a voltmeter (which showed over “3 volts” power), and a battery tester (which put their strength in the green/good range). So, they’re ready to go. Help us keep these 466,000 “quarters” out of a landfill. But don’t try using them for laundry. Pat already did, and it didn’t work out well.

who's got the button? You do, which means you don't have to go the drugstore when your watch, calculator, camera, radio or nearly anything else stops. Be prepared for electronic quitters with this 30-pack of button cell batteries in the most popular sizes. Our each is (6) AG1, (6) AG3, (6) AG4, (3) AG5, (3) AG12, and (6) AG13 batteries. (Some devices may call these G1, G2, etc., or have other arcane codes for these same sizes.) Brand new!

When you run out, you have to run out and buy more. Stay home with this pack of (24) "AA" and (12) "AAA" alkaline batteries from Polaroid. Box says they're good until 2021.

These super handy little tweezer-style battery testers are made for checking button-cell and 3V lithium coin-cell batteries, but they've got a wide enough spread for everything from "AAA"s to D-cells (but not 9-volts!). Red and black arms designate the +/- sides, and an LED at the base lights up if the battery is good.

We just got a fantastic deal on the real deal Energizer ® batteries. Each is a pack of (6) “AA” or “AAA” for smoke detectors, game controllers, thermostats, flashlights, radios, tv remotes, wireless devices and need we go on? You won’t see brand new name-brand batteries this cheap at the corner drugstore. These are a real treat so get them while they last. Expiration date on our sample sales 12/2029.

It’s a surplus "D" medical grade alkaline battery bonanza! These 15.25Ah  (15,250mAh) 12V alkaline battery packs have (8) standard sized 1.5V “D” cells stacked in (4) plastic-wrapped columns of (2). The pack is soldered together, and can be used as-is or easily separated and used as extremely long-lasting alkaline batteries for devices. New, but originally intended for use in medical equipment. MFG date of 06/2019 so they are fresh! Pack measures 5.39" X 4.84" X 1.35". That's only .75/each battery. Isn't surplus wonderful. 

These Farpoint alkaline batteries have an expiration date of 2030 but you're going to use them up long before that the way you ride that remote. All are the standard 1.5V, and guaranteed leakproof for two years. You pick an 8-pack of AA or AAAs. Or get a couple packs of both – 2030!

We’re talking batteries here. If you’re holdin’ ’em and you’d rather have something else hold ’em, get yourself a battery holder. Duh. Ours is 3” x 2-1/4” x approx 1” (with a front panel just under 1-1/2” thick), and holds (8) AA batteries. That’s (4) per side for all the Humanities majors out there who couldn’t have pictured that. Has a 14” barrel jack power cord to plug into whatever your batteries are powering.

Nice, new 6-volt lantern batteries from Ultralast®, labeled for the international market. Standard 2-5/8" square x 3-3/16" high, standard spring tabs on top. Advanced Heavy-Duty the label says. We'll price it to save you a world of dollars, pesos and francs, Pat says.

Generic batteries that stand up to the big boys! These are very good alkaline batteries, and they seem to last just as long as the name brands when tested against them. Our each is a pack of (1), (2) or (4), depending upon the cell size.

The pentapack: You pick a pack of (5) 3V lithium coin cell batteries, CR2025 OR CR2032, still in their packaging, for a price that looks like a single battery, because you're smart enough to shop here. Looking for a large quantity? Try our bulk pack of (20) batteries for huge savings!

Nice little battery holder made to contain (4) “AA” cells. Measures 2-1/2" x 2-3/4" x 3/4" with a pair of 5-1/2" leads and an SPST slide switch. The cover closes with screws so all those AAs won’t go flying around where you can’t find them if you drop it. Great for science fairs.

Our each is (4) of the blue plastic "D" Cell modular battery holders, approx 3-3/8" x 1-7/16" x 1-1/8" deep without tabs. They slide together either side-to-side or end-to-end or any combination of both, with connecting tabs in both directions. Can be wired parallel or in series. Open tops. Interesting possibilities.

You know all those A.S.&S. catalog items that call for AG13 or AG10 button-cell batteries? We’ve got ya covered. Our each is a package of (10) or (100), for the bulk minder shoppers, of 1.5 volt AG13s(AKA A76s, LR44s, V13Gas, and RW82s) or AG10's (AKA 389, 390, 189, L1130, LR1130, L1131) No need to thank us, we're just doing our job.

We have a number of battery holders, constantly changing in detail. They may be plastic, they may be metal. They all have either simple short wire leads or connection points. In all cases, they hold a number of batteries and connect them internally in series. The table shows the number and type of batteries held, the final voltage, material, lead type and price.

Knowledge is power - in this case, battery power. You'll know from the easy-to-read gauge on this black-plastic handheld mini-tester whether a battery is good, low or needs to be replaced. The 4-1/4" x 2-3/8" x 1" tester reads "AAA," "AA," "C," "D," 9 volt, 1.5 volt button, and other sizes.
