![]() ![]() The 24-count Duracell can be found on Amazon for $16.24. Amazon batteries definitely get high marks in that regard as well.Ĭomparing prices of the two top battery brands, Duracell and Energizer, to Amazon’s, we took a look at the basic AA alkaline battery. Of course, most consumers prefer to let the price of products do the talking. Project Farm’s channel tested a number of batteries to include the Duracell and Energizer, as well as AmazonBasic, and a few other high-end batteries as well as the lower-end batteries. For our purposes here, we went to the platform to see if we could find any more information surrounding AmazonBasic’s batteries. ![]() It’s amazing sometimes what can be found on YouTube. But the main question then begs, just how good are these batteries? The AA accounts for almost half of AmazonBasic battery sales, totaling 46%. This is even with the supply chain issues seen across the globe.ĪmazonBasic’s AA battery is by far the most popular sold on Amazon. Due to the US shipping rules that allow for companies to move products in virtual secrecy, Amazon uses all forms of transportation to include trucks, cars, ocean, and air freight. ![]() More than likely they will also contain nylon, paper, steel, and PVC.Īnother great mystery of the Amazon batteries is how they get to where they need to go. Although Amazon desperately tries to keep their information on the down-low, it was confirmed by an FDK employee that they actually do have a contract with AmazonBasics in that Amazon will purchase $100,000 of its batteries per year.īut what are they made of? According to Fujitsu’s product sheet, the Amazon batteries consist of manganese dioxide, graphite, zinc, and potassium hydroxide. The company, Fujitsu, is Japanese but its subsidiary, FDK, runs the Indonesian alkaline factory where the batteries are built. The actual building of the battery, as we mentioned, falls in Indonesian hands. One thing this secrecy has allowed is the ability of Amazon to sell many of their products much cheaper than their competitors. Amazon’s manufacturing secrecy has caused a lot of speculation lately for not just their batteries, but with many products designed under their personal brands and labels. The Amazon battery is actually made in Indonesia, but not by Amazon hands.Īmazon purchases the batteries from a supplier, then turns around and reskins them with their AmazonBasic label.įinding out where the battery’s materials hailed from was a much harder nut to crack, one that never came to fruition. This number is enough to overtake the bigger, more established brands like Energizer and Panasonic.īut where does this Amazon battery come from? Does Amazon manufacture them here in the United States? The answer probably isn’t a surprise when it comes to Amazon’s private products. In fact, one out of every $10 sold by AmazonBasics is a battery sale and the AA Amazon batteries alone represent nearly 4% of all AmazonBasics sales. As for the batteries the label produces, they have become one of the most popular items sold. The label has been in existence for a dozen or so years and has steadily become more and more popular in shopping circles. But one would be surprised to find out that the Amazon Basic brand of batteries is actually a good product.Īmazon batteries are made under the company’s private label AmazonBasics. It may even cause some hesitation since it isn’t even a Rayovac. The name alone probably is cause for concern since it isn’t Energizer or Duracell. ![]()
