Batteries voucher codes, coupons & deals

Most households get through far more AA and AAA batteries than they expect, between remote controls, toys, torches, smoke alarms and game controllers, so buying in bulk at the right price makes a real difference over a year. This page gathers current battery deals from UK retailers, from big multipacks of alkaline cells to rechargeable sets with chargers, and the offers change as new deals appear.

The main choice is alkaline or rechargeable. Alkaline batteries are cheap per pack, hold their charge for years in a drawer and suit low-drain devices such as clocks and remotes. Rechargeable NiMH batteries cost more up front but pay for themselves in high-drain items like controllers, cameras and toys that eat through cells quickly. Check the size (AA, AAA, C, D or 9V), the shelf life quoted for alkaline packs, and the capacity in mAh for rechargeables, where a higher figure means longer use between charges.

To judge value, work out the price per battery rather than per pack, as large multipacks are often much cheaper per cell. For rechargeables, a bundle that includes a smart charger can save buying one separately. Prices and stock change, so check the final price and terms at the retailer.
