Batteries in bulk are usually pretty cheap. At our local store, I can buy
a 4 pack for a $1 - batteries I use often with no issues. OR I can buy a
12 pack for a $1, which I HAVE had issues with - leaking. Price doesn't
always dictate quality, but sometimes - it does.



I can buy an 8 pack for $1 here. They're good. The fake Energizer 12 per
pack are total crap.


Kind of reminds me when i bought a brick of what i thought was
Duracell's AA's. after the first set of cells died in a short
lived period, i noticed they said Duraking and had the same copper
top casing and all.
