A typical 8 pack AA batteries at a drug store may run around $7 or $9. But
at the dollar store you can find 8 packs for only $1 with brands like
"Panasonic". What is the difference? I am sure Duracells last longer, but
does it last 8 times longer?

The ones at the dollar store usually generate Japanese electricity.
This will work with Japanese and most other Asian appliances, but
American radios etc. may not understand it.

It is possible to get a converter, designed to fit in the battery
holder, between the Japanese batteries and the springs of the battery
connector. The PVC contact piece is thin with wide copper traces on
both sides and the electronic part fits off to the side a bit, in the
unused space between cylindrical batteries.

Send $39.95 plus 10 S&H to P.O.B. 11420, Wilmington Delaware, 22374
for one, Or only 49.95 plus 10 S&H for two. Satisfaction
guaranteed.
