Household Batteries Near Me (162 items found)

Disposable and rechargeable batteries power numerous devices in your home and having plenty on hand makes life more convenient when your remote control or clock stops working. Don’t get caught without the right batteries in your home, finding what you need from top brands at Ace Hardware.

What Are Alkaline Batteries?

Alkaline batteries provide an energy source for many of our favorite household gadgets, toys and smaller tools. These batteries offer a higher voltage than lithium batteries, although they don’t last as long.

Proper care with alkaline batteries is essential. Although modern advancements in battery technology help impede battery acid leakage, it may still be possible due to age, misuse, excessive heat, or multiple recharges. If you won’t be using a battery-powered device for some time, remove the batteries to help avoid leaks and damage to the device.

Alkaline Battery Sizes

At Ace, you’ll find a large selection of alkaline household batteries in the sizes you need for the tools, devices, gadgets, and toys in your home.

• AA batteries: The most used household battery size, AA batteries are ideal for items that aren’t in constant use, such as remote controls and flashlights, or those devices which draw very low currents, like wall clocks.
• AAA batteries: Smaller than AA batteries, AAA batteries power small, low-energy devices like remote controls, kitchen scales and calculators.
• AAAA batteries: Small but powerful, AAAA batteries are used primarily for devices like LED pointers and Bluetooth headsets.
• C batteries: Larger than A batteries, C batteries are commonly used in portable radios, flashlights, and toys.
• D batteries: Heavy duty and large, these batteries power devices that are heavily used or which require an extended operating time.
• 9-volt batteries: These square-shaped batteries are used in devices that require more power and longer-term reliability than other batteries can provide. 9-volt batteries are commonly used in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, walkie-talkies, and medical monitoring devices.

When it comes to purchasing alkaline batteries, a good rule of thumb is to buy enough of each size you need for initial use, plus a second extra set — you’ll be especially thankful for those back-up sets in a power outage. As soon as you install your backup sets, return to the store to stock up on more.

Rechargeable Batteries

Rechargeable household batteries include lithium-ion or nickel batteries, which generally cost more than disposable batteries up front. However, since you can recharge and reuse them, they typically save you money over the long haul. Ace offers a variety of rechargeable batteries and the battery chargers you need to restore their power again and again.

Batteries for Emergency Preparedness

To prepare for unexpected outages, survey all your electronic safety and emergency devices to determine what kind of batteries they require, and stock up at Ace. Smoke detectors should be installed on each floor of your home, and it’s important to test them every month. These commonly run on 9-volt batteries, which you can purchase in bulk.
