Disposable or single-use batteries are still a viable option for a wide range of devices, from digital cameras and remote controls to battery-operated toys. We test and review a range of AA disposable batteries as well as a couple of AAA and 9V batteries to find the best value and best performing brands.

While single use may still be useful in an emergency, we encourage you to look at the results of our rechargeable batteries test for a more environmentally friendly and better value option.

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
