«Batteries sold separately.

Is well known, the batteries are not included with the toys, and yet every years, at Christmas, the same problem arises after unpacking the gift... It is not usable because it has no good batteries!

We will help you make good batteries alkaline, or even stock of rechargeable battery.

First of all, regardless of the type of battery you are using (rechargeable or not), never use batteries which are not loaded at the same level, or who do not have all the same power; Indeed, the level of performance of charged batteries / rebate would then lowered to the level of the batteries the weakest of the circuit, for a poor result see no!

Alkaline batteries

essential batteries AAA, AA, C, D, and 9V are all used in electric toys. You will find in the table below the number of batteries used to operate the unit.

If some games are not greedy energy, others are enormously and require up to 9 batteries to operate.

do not hesitate to make a small stock of each format, alkaline batteries can be stored for up to 10 years

For Christmas decorations, we opt for the industrial Varta batteries. They particularly suitable for low and medium energy consumption devices.

High Energy Varta or Duracell batteries are perfect for everyday appliances! They will feed into the remote control of the DVD of your husband or the car of your son for a very long time!

The B4P Council:

If the stack has more enough energy to fly a radio controlled helicopter, it has enough to run a small radio for example

The choice of batteries (rechargeable batteries)

If rechargeable batteries are required whenever a device is highly solicited or energy-intensive, they are not suitable for the equipment that consume very little, typically alarm clocks, clocks, remote controls, smoke detectors. Alkaline disposable batteries will operate for several years without having to be changed, replace them with batteries so no interest, it is not profitable.

Some toys are also consuming power, as the PicooZ by silverlite. 6 alkaline batteries cannot be replaced, These give power to the helicopter Li - po battery. Even the most powerful rechargeable batteries will not take off your device.

At PLAYMOBIL less batteries 1200mah are not sufficient for trains for example.

In contrast to a lever of 2 hours per day on average used Wii game console, it spends between 20 and €30 a year if you are using rechargeable batteries, but between 200 and €700 if you buy disposable batteries. Charging is therefore highly recommended as the gauge indicates remaining autonomy, enabling to anticipate a new refill.

VTech recommended rechargeable batteries for their toys Mobigo and V.Reader. More power in mAh is great there is autonomy.

Attention: some rechargeable batteries deliver an optimal energy after having been charged and discharged completely two or three times
