Ah yes the LR-44 watch batteries we love and hate at the same time because when we need them we don't have them. While these are fairly easy to find at local stores, Evolved Novelties has a nice 10 pack for us to order for $7.99. In my opinion a 12 pack would have made more sense, there are many bullets I have personally seen that take 3 of these batteries at a time for example---The Screaming O Vibrating Bullet and Double Decker Twin Bullet Ring. Like I said it would make more sense to me to have a 12 pack, as I do own the Double Decker Ring, I would like to use 6 of these to replace the dead ones, and have 6 left over also, not 4. With 4 left over I would be stuck having to buy another packet of these. Never the less, you may not even own a sex toy that takes these batteries, you may simply be looking for replacement batteries for your watch.

You may find many uses for these types of batteries besides the already mentioned bullets and watches, for example---Children toys, MP3 players, blood glucose/cholesterol testing meters, electronic games/instruments, some PDA's, cameras, clocks and many other electronic products. Personally I use them specifically for my vibrating bullets that require this type of battery. These batteries from Evolved Novelties seem fairly standard compared to name brand equivalent such as Duracell and Energizer. These batteries seem powerful enough to get the job done without dying out on you too fast. There are some things to take into consideration however when it comes to batteries and how long they last. Certain products, let’s say bullets may have stronger motors than others, so what happens in many cases is they perform differently in different bullets. An efficient motor inside a quality bullet may offer more battery life, while a cheap "Made in China" motor may suck all the juice out quickly. The Double Decker Ring that I own specifies that each bullet will have around 90 minutes of use before the batteries go dead. The batteries that came with the bullets lasted I believe 80 or so minutes. Using the Evolved Novelties batteries I was able to squeeze around 90 to 100 minutes out of them. When it comes to sex toys, every extra minute counts in my opinion.

Now it's time to cover some information about these batteries you may otherwise not know. The first letter "L" is for the electrochemical system used, this battery has a zinc negative electrode, manganese dioxide depolarizer and positive electrode, and an alkaline electrolyte system. The second letter "R" stands for.....wait for it.....its shape of being round (cylindrical) form. Finally R44 indicates the size of the battery itself. These button cell batteries have a nominal voltage of 1.5V which generally provides long life and use of the battery depending on what product it is used in conjunction with. They are an alkaline battery, meaning they are mercury and cadmium free. As far as disposing your used alkaline batteries, many locations consider these batteries as standard domestic waste and can be thrown out in your regular garbage. However, California for a good example has banned the disposal of all batteries in domestic waste as they have deemed it hazardous waste. If you really want to have your batteries recycled, you can visit this site and enter your zip code or other information to find a recycler nearby that will take them. Many electronics stores will also take used alkaline batteries and recycle them also.

While I am not trying to send people away to find the batteries cheaper elsewhere, I feel an obligation to recommend pricing these batteries at multiple places first. Personally, if I had done this myself, I could have easily picked up a 50 pack of these batteries for around $6 with $2 shipping. Then again, it seemed more convenient to get these from EdenFantasys. On some final notes, these batteries are "Made in China"; this is located on the backside of the packaging. Along with that, there are general warnings such as not attempting to recharge the batteries, to replace all the batteries at once rather than using an unused battery with 2 used batteries. With minimal packaging, you can throw these in a stocking at Christmas time for a stocking stuffer. These are worth the buy as a convenient add-on to an order, maybe to even reach that free shipping mark.

I have been using these types of batteries for a long time for various purposes. In vibrating bullets, I can comfortably say they last noticeably longer. But that was only with a couple bullets that I use personally. A lot of bullets are different and require more power thus draining the batteries faster. I still think these batteries need to be in a 12 pack rather than the 10 pack. I have recently seen a couple of bullets that require 4 at a time. All in all, these work great and I will purchase more when I can get them on sale for 30% off!
