Save Some Green by Going Green... Energize Your Forests & Celebrate Arbor Day With Batteries Plus
If you've been around long enough, you remember the days of wired controllers with ultra-short cords (ahem, Nintendo) and sitting on the floor to play until looking up at the screen gave you a neckache. Luckily, these days wireless controllers are the norm, but the one downfall to that is that they use batteries that need to be replaced periodically.

If you've been around long enough, you remember the days of wired controllers with ultra-short cords (ahem, Nintendo) and sitting on the floor to play until looking up at the screen gave you a neckache. Luckily, these days wireless controllers are the norm, but the one downfall to that is that they use batteries that need to be replaced periodically. That's where the Batteries Plus sale running through May will come in extra-handy--not to mention it comes with a super cool perk. See at BatteriesPlus When you purchase either one or two 24-packs of Energizer Max batteries from BatteriesPlus between today and May 31, you'll save $5 and $12 respectively. The 12-pack, normally $20.99, is on sale for $15.99, and buying two takes the price down from $41.98 to $32.50 (after tax is added). That means you won't have to think about buying new batteries for your controllers for a long time, which is great if you rely on them for long gaming sessions. You can also have you order shipped or pick it up from a local store, making it easy to get these for when you need them. As great as it is to save money, this sale comes with something extra that makes it special. BatteriesPlus is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation for the second year in a row, so when you buy one of these deals, BatteriesPlus will donate $1 to the Arbor Day Foundation to go towards planting a tree (and that's per pack, so if you buy two, that's two trees). In 2025, the same sale helped the Arbor Day Foundation plant 37,203 trees in Oregon as a part of the Bootleg Fire Restoration and Resilience Project. As the Bootleg Fire of 2021 destroyed over 413,000 acres of forest in the Klamath Falls Basin, this is care the area desperately needed -- and just by buying batteries, everyday consumers were able to contribute significantly to restoring it. Species such as Ponderosa pine, lodgepole pine, Western larch, and white fir were planted, which play a crucial role in rebuilding the forest canopy where bald eagles nest.
