happy with that.

Seriously, depending on the use, 100 might not be that many. An old
style CB walkie talkie takes eight. I've got several CB walkied that
take eight cells.

He said a hundred PACKS of batteries. How many in a pack? I dunno.
Assume it's twelve or 24 (plus 2 free). That's a god-awful bunch of
batteries.

Hundred packs, as in a hundred per pack.

Oh. The statement was: "I bought 100 packs of "Utilitech" brand AAs and AAAs
from Lowes for $20/pack."

I read it as "I bought 100 packs (containing an indeterminate number of
individual batteries)..." rather than "I bought (an indeterminate number) of
packs, each pack containing 100 batteries."
