We all need batteries. We may be getting closer and closer to a fully rechargeable world, but certain things still operate on good old fashioned AAs. TV remotes, smoke detectors, alarm clocks — the list goes on. Batteries are never a fun purchase, but they’re necessary. Stocking up on them while there is a big sale is a great way to save some money and forget about them for a while. Right now Amazon is having one of those sales. All of their big deals on the Amazon Basics brand batteries. For the most part, batteries are batteries, so these will do you just fine. We pulled out some of the deals we like down below, but you should shop the full sale for yourself.
Amazon Basics is a line of simple products that Amazon slaps their own label onto. Think of it as the Trader Joe’s brand of home goods, or the Kroger brand knockoff of your favorite cereal. Nearly every size of Amazon Basics battery is discounted as part of this sale. For instance, the go-to battery that you’ll need for practically every device is the AA. Amazon is selling an eight-pack of basic AA batteries for just over $4. A savings of almost $2 doesn’t sound like much, but it is 29% off, and that adds up. Since AA batteries are used in nearly every battery-powered device, you should consider just a dozen packs and not worrying about whether you have batteries for the next few years. AAA batteries are another common one. Amazon is only discounting the rechargeable AAAs , but these will save you money anyways. As long as you remember to always have some charging, you won’t have to buy new batteries for a very long time.
C batteries are a little less common. Because of that, we seem to never have them around when we need them. Amazon is discounting both the regular alkaline C batteries and the rechargeable C batteries. A 24-pack of regular C batteries is basically the same price as a four-pack of the rechargeable version , but considering you can recharge them 1,000 times each, the rechargeables will definitely save you money.
Some other batteries discounted during this sale are the massive D batteries, $17 for a 12-pack , and the tiny CR1632 lithium coin cell batteries, just over $2 each . Click the big red button below to shop the sale yourself. Just make sure to recycle your dead batteries when you’re done with them!

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
