Prime Day deals have arrived early with Amazon launching an official early Prime Day deal in the form of great special offers on AA and AAA batteries. While so many gadgets use the best rechargeable batteries now, there are still plenty of devices that require traditional batteries including remotes and games controllers. This is a great way to save plenty of cash on those all too necessary essentials. After all, bulk buying is always better value than picking up individual battery packs from the store as and when you need them. This way, you’re organized and can save plenty of cash. The Amazon Basics range has all kinds of batteries on offer right now, but we’re going to focus on the most commonly used ones — AA and AAA — with bulk packs priced at over 20% off the usual deal.
