When I heard that Duracell donated one million batteries to first responders across the country to help power their life-saving equipment, I knew this was a promotion that I wanted to spread the word about. As a New Yorker and recently going through Super Storm Sandy I realize how important it is to be prepared in my home. I also have a huge respect for first responders. They are the ones that are literally putting their lives on the line to save someone else. We experienced watching them during 9/11 and now through Sandy. Not only has Duracell put Quantum power in the hands of these heroes, but also have created a documentary like series on YouTube celebrating stories of heroism and sacrifice. I cried watching a few of these, but it’s a wonderful reminder about what these first responders do every day. I love that Duracell put this series together.

AA/AAA batteries are most commonly used by first responders for many life saving devices, not just flashlights. Plus, batteries are also distributed at community safety events. Personally, I always try to keep batteries in stock for a variety of things in my home. The fact that I have two little boys is enough to keep a full supply on hand. You don’t want their favorite toy or gaming remote to run out! On a serious note experiencing several power outages during storms I want to be sure that I can run a radio and flashlights. Not to mention that I’m a nut when it comes to checking my smoke detectors and making sure that the batteries are fresh.
About Duracell Quantum Batteries:
Duracell Quantum is an amazing advance in battery technology. It combines a Hi-Density Core™ and PowerCheck™ to make it a Quantum leap in battery power! I love the PowerCheck™ that lets you instantly check your power level at any time. This will help me stop obsessing about my smoke detectors! It’s the only battery that has it. Plus with the Duralock Power Preserve™ Technology your Duracell Quantum batteries are guaranteed for 10 years in storage. How awesome is that? The Hi-Density Core™ Technology gives Quantum Batteries their long lasting power. Now that’s a battery I want to keep around, after all if it’s good enough for first responders it’s more than good for my own family.

Shauna says
How have I not heard of these, before we switched to rechargeables we were going through so many a week, now we are constantly recharging batteries. These would be great
Cynthia L says
I think it is great that there is a way to see the life of the battery. Like everyone else, this is a time of the year when we need a lot of batteries.
Tina Ashburn says
The life expectancy of a battery in my possession is very short. Especially in my mouse (or is it mice?) I am trying to remember to turn off the mouse to conserve on the battery.
Susan says
Duracell had my support at donating to first responders, but now I’m going out to look for batteries that last longer. Yea! And just in time to help Santa out.
Debbie Denny says
Love the way they give back!

Pam says
I have to buy a ton of batteries during the holidays because if I don’t I always need one at the last minute. Duracell batteries really do last a long time.

Duracell is a great battery from a company with a big heart. I will have to pick up some of these Duracell Quantums the next time I am at the store.

Finally… I’m Sooo excited ….when I grew up in Germany we had batteries that had a power check and I had been telling my hubby about it for years he thought I’m crazy.. Sooo glad they finally have them here.. it’s a life saver, especially if the kids mix up batteries and you don’t know if they are old or new…We like Duracell, thanks for sharing
Janeane Davis says
It is nice to know that if you buy these batteries on sale and put them in a drawer, they will still be in top shape when you pull them out to use them.
Danielle @ We Have It All says
We’re using these batteries right now and I love them, they work great!
kathy balman says
one can never have enough batteries on hand, especially great ones!
karen medlin says
I would love to see more companies do what Duracell does with donating to a good cause. Our son is a firefighter and living in a small town here, a lot of the crew donate their own money to keep the Fire Station operating.
Carmen's Life says
