I see HF has AA batteries on sale w/coupon 24 for $4.99.
I've had better luck with those than the equivalent from Frys
Electronics (which were too weak to power my CD player).

FWIW, Wally World will sell you a set of four NiMH AAs and a charger
for 13 bucks. That should power your CD player for the next decade
or so.

My CD player takes 8 AAs. : )
Point well-taken though!


You have a CD player that takes 8 AA's? Geezus Bill - what in the hell do
you have for a CD player?

Mike, Counting a DVD player as a CD player, we have more of them than we
need. Doesn't everyone? I think my last DVD player cost about $20--and
it received "Maximum PC" magazine's top rating--and has "light scribe"
technology (to write ON the disk) that I have no interest in.
I doubt anyone in the US is manufacturing CD players.

I doubt if you'd find a DVD player made in the US.
