Pretty much every store you go to sells batteries. So why bother ordering them from Eden? Do it for convenience and to avoid that “Oh no, I’m all out of batteries!” moment when you’re new toy arrives and you realize you can’t use it just yet. I ordered then when I purchased Dorcel’s, Too Much, just to make sure I’d get to enjoy it right away.

The batteries you order from Eden arrive in a nondescript package of black cardboard with your batteries suspended in plastic, just like the ones you get at any store. However, the package itself makes no reference to any particular battery brand, instead it simply reads Alkaline Batteries, and in the upper right hand corner “No. 1 Alkaline Batteries.” Despite the nondescript cardboard, it’s easy to tell by reading the battery itself through the clear plastic that these batteries are the standard Duracell ones.

The back of the package provides information about your new batteries, such as that they were made in the United States of America, claims they last 7 times longer, and reminds you not to dispose of them in fire or carry them in your pocket. Although I do not know if these will last you 7 times as long as any other batteries you pick up, they do last quite a long time, just as long as any other AAA Duracell alkaline batteries will, and much longer than the ones you can pick up at the dollar store.

If you’re ordering a toy which doesn’t have the batteries included, and you know you don’t have any lying around, you should definitely pick up a pack of these, especially since I find the price right in line with those at a brick and mortar store. However, if you’re looking to stock up then I’d suggest checking out your local CVS or Target the next time you go to pick up groceries for better deals on a larger pack.
