Note: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for Duracell. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.
It’s the time of year again where you are on the lookout for good batteries because everything you buy for kids now has batteries needed! I know with my kids, we go through a lot of batteries in electronic games. My son’s Leappad eats batteries up! We were excited to try the new Duracell Quantum Batteries to see how they stand up.
One of the first things I noticed about the batteries is that they are red instead of black, which will help you distinguish them against other batteries. The other thing I noticed, which I’m SUPER happy about, is that they brought back the PowerCheck which this is the only battery with the power indicator on the cell. I don’t know about you, but I end up with piles of batteries around my house and I never know if they have power left in them without running downstairs to my husband’s workbench to get his battery tester. At this point in my pregnancy I’m no longer running anywhere and the stairs are getting scary to me!
Duracell is donating one million Duracell Quantum batteries to first responders across North America because they need and deserve the it the most. To celebrate our nation’s first responders, Duracell is telling stories of sacrifice and heroism with a documentary-style video series called Quantum Heroes. You can watch the series at: http://www.youtube.com/
Duracell is asking you to go to their Facebook and Twitter and share your first responder stories with them using #MyQuantumHero.
What about you? What in your house do you use batteries for to keep “unplugged”? I wish my daughter’s DS had a battery option, because she lost her charger and she hasn’t been able to play it for months. We use batteries in remotes: TV and Wii, the most, followed by handheld electronics.
We don’t have as many batteries as we used to because or chargers but things like remote control cars, Roku remotes and some of the other kid toys always need new batteries.
I love that they are giving them to first responders!
I remember doing a Duracell vs. Energizer science project when I was in the elementary school, and Duracell outlasted Energizer by a long shot! Needless to say, their batteries are my go-to batteries when I’m needing batteries for something.
I have not heard of the Quantum Core before, or seen in stores. I love Duracell products so I am gonna have to grab some and give them a go!
I love Duracell and will definitely check out these batteries. We’re going to need them for the holidays.
This time of year, with all the toys, these are important to be stocked up on!
I LOVE that Duracell is donating one million Duracell Quantum batteries to first responders! That’s so great!
We use batteries for SO much – the LeapPad, remotes, flashlights … the list goes on.
This is the first I have heard of quantum batteries from Duracell. We definitely need to stock up before the holidays.
We go through SO many batteries around here. It’s nice to see Duracell is making longer lasting ones now!
That’s exactly what we’d use our batteries for too. Sweet T keeps her LeapPad hot!
I love the Duracell quantum batteries! I have them in all our flashlights.
Duracell is all we use! 🙂
I am trying these out too. I can’t wait to see how they compare to the brand I’ve been using.
I love that they are making a donation! That’s awesome.
I am going to have to check these out this Christmas for all the toys the boys get. I love that Duracell is working to help first responders!
