(Pocket-lint) – Traditional batteries may have largely been replaced by rechargeable packs, but AAA batteries are still often required to power things like TV remotes, toys and older gadgets.

It means nothing else will do when you inevitably run dry of the power source, so it’s always good to keep spares around the house. However, like with anything, not all batteries are created equally.

That’s why we’re here to guide you, rounding up some of the elite options when it comes to AAA batteries. No matter what you’re willing to spend restocking your supply, we have an option for you to consider.

Duracell’s copper top design is the first thing most people think of when they think about buying batteries, with the company rightfully earning itself the reputation as the go-to battery.

It’s no different with the company AAA option, with this set of 20 guaranteed to last 10 years in storage. If any of your devices are damaged due to battery defects, as well, the company will offer to replace or repair them.

Naturally, it’s a more cost-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to regular batteries, with each unit in the set able to hold 70% of their charge even after 10 years of no use.
