Battery coupons are coupons for buying batteries. Why are we covering them here at Grocery Coupons 360? The reason is that batteries are showing up at grocery stores. Not car batteries or cell phone batteries, but typically those used in home, such as from Duracell, EverReady, Panasonic, Rayovac, Sanyo or Energizer. With everything in the house requiring them these days, it seems almost every supermarket trip they are on the list. That is where coupons for batteries come in of course.

Here is a non-exclusive list of things that may need batteries at home:  cameras, game controlers, kids toys, phones, and of course flashlights. Even car battery savings sometimes can be found if your car battery runs out.

With such a wide array of appliances requiring batteries, they come in various shapes and sizes. The most typical are cylindrical batteries in sizes AAA, AA, C, and D, the flat, round button battery, and the nine volt rectangular prism battery. AAA batteries are commonly used in CD players, clocks, various video game console controllers, and battery operated toys.

Items that take the AA size include a lot of different types of TV and DVD remote controls, some cameras that do not require specialized batteries, and digital voice recorders. Along with AAA, these batteries are among the most popular with household items.

C batteries are a bit less common, but there are still household items that require them, such as some flashlights, portable radios, and power tools.

D sizes are popular in childrens’ toys such as RC cars, trucks, and some talking dolls They are also used in larger flashlights and boom box radios.

Button batteries, also known as coin batteries come in various sizes as well. These are mostly used in small objects such as watches, LED blinking devices, laser pointers, and some calculators.

Nine-volt, also sometimes written 9-volt, batteries are generally used in smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, transistor radios, and radio-controlled vehicle controllers.

Lithium-ion rechargeable batteries are also becoming more popular due to their use in electronic devices and laptop battery packs.

Coupons for batteries that are more specialized may be more difficult to find. One example of specialized batteries are camera batteries, which include the CR123A, CR2, 2CR5, CRP2, and CRV3 to name the most popular. As their name suggests, these are most commonly used in digital cameras and filming devices, though some flashlights and other devices may take them as well.
