I order batteries from "http://www.batteryjunction.com/" and they have
Eneloop, Panasonic Evolta and Tenergy Centura. They don't have Maha
Imedion batteries. I pick up cheep alkaline batteries at Family Dollar


Some people think the cheep alkaline batteries I buy are for the birds
but those inexpensive batteries always work for me because I'm cheap. ^_^

They're still probably cost effective, but I've had several different
alkalines leak on me in the past year, I'm done with them!

My strategy is not to leave batteries in gear long enough for them to
leak. I keep a zip-lock bag in the equipment case and remove the
batteries then put them in the bag when I know I won't use it for a
while. I learned this after some expensive meters were damaged by
leaking batteries. You did notice "cheep and cheap"? Spell checkers
can't do it all, one must use his brain sometimes. ^_^
