Amazon Basics 100 Pack AA High-Performance Alkaline Batteries: Prime Day deal

This isn't the most exciting or exotic deal out there, but we've all got a clock, or a game controller, or a thing that we just need to power – and that's where having a big ol' bag of batteries can really come in handy.

Enter the Prime Day deals this year, where once again we're seeing a dramatic reduction in loads of batteries that you can grab to not have to worry about things going out of power for at least another year.
