Our family had always bought the cheap dollar store batteries, because I thought it was better to pay less...what I have learned though is that I was actually paying more then I thought, because we were going through batteries like crazy in this house.
Duracell has become a regular name in our house now. They last longer and I don't have to buy batteries as often anymore.
One Christmas, when my son was about 5 or 6, we had him write out his list for Santa. On the top of the list, believe it or not, was batteries!! It was the cheapest Christmas gift ever asked for! That is because we used to have a rule that when the batteries died the toy was done...he knew that if he had his own stash of batteries, he would be able to play with his toys longer;-) (I am THAT mom!!)
In reality, we always replaced the batteries. That year, we bought him a whole pile of batteries and he was so happy when he opened them in the morning...
These are the batteries that will be making an appearance this year in our house:
Introducing Duracell Quantum, the world’s most advanced alkaline battery. With its revolutionary Hi-Density Core™ and proprietary PowerCheck™ power indicator, Duracell Quantum has been engineered to deliver the performance consumers demand.
Duracell Quantum offers long-lasting power when it’s needed the most—whether its powering children’s toys or first responders’ radios, you can count on Duracell’s most powerful premium-tier battery when it just has to work.
Features and Benefits:To make this even better, we are going to be trying them out first in a new Furby Boom!! But don't tell my 11 year old!! Her birthday is on December 22, and we are always struggling to figure out what to get for her birthday when Christmas is just a few days away...This is going to be her big surprise this year!!
The Duracell Quantum Hi-Density Core stores more power boosters to provide longer lasting performance than ever before Duracell Quantum is the single solution for multiple device needs in a household working efficiently across high-drain and low-drain devices – from remote controls to portable video games Duracell is the only battery brand with PowerCheck on the cell for accurate reading of remaining power Duracell DURALOCK technology locks in power for up to 10 years in storage.
A whole new generation of Furby critters is about to hatch, so dust off your Furbish dictionary and get ready to party with your Furby Boom creature! Your Furby has a mind of its own, and the way you treat your Furby will shape its personality -- so the more fun you have with it, the better! It speaks more English the more you play with it. Tickle your Furby, talk to it, and feed it with your finger. Play some tunes, pull some tails and party on with your Furby Boom creature!
You can also download a free app to have a Furby Boom adventure and translate Furbish. Take care of your Furby, get virtual eggs and hatch and raise the Furblings!

Check Furby.com for device compatibility. Requires 4 "AA" batteries (not included).
