Best candle and light batteries?

Rechargeable batteries are use in solar lights. They get recharged by solar panels daily. Use a good brand of alkaline or lithium ion batteries.

I have found that it is not so much the battery as it is the candle that you buy--I have tried several different types--ones carried by Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Pier 1--they all needed batteries replaced way too often. I use Flamelesscandle.net candles. You can order from the site or you can get them at Bed Bath and Beyond. They carry a variety of sizes. If you use the timer on these candles, the battery lasts for at least 6 months. I have used generic batteries and brand name, so I think it's more in the product. As far as the string lights go, I haven't found the perfect one yet--the batteries need replacing often.

Hi Linda. You can use the rechargeable batteries. The charger will cost more at first but from what I have read it will save you tons in the long run.

Agree with Amanda. Small battery operated candles and similar decor items are notorious for 'eating batteries like crazy'.
