Good deal on LSD batteries?
OhioGuy
are the Eneloop type which comes precharged, and keeps roughly 3/4 of
the full charge after a year in storage. I had purchased some Rayovac
Hybrid batteries a few months ago. Now I find that I need at least 4 to
8 more of the AA size.
The best I can seem to find is about $12 shipped through Amazon.
That comes to about $3 per battery.
Can anyone suggest a better deal online, or a B&M deal where I can
avoid shipping? Thanks!

Costco no longer sells the eneloop or other LSD batteries, at least in
Northern California.
When they did, it was eight AA and two AAA and some adapters for C&D and
a charger, though for a brief period they sold just the battery assortment.
The eneloops also used to be sold at Wal-Mart, but no more.
See "http://tinyurl.com/eneloopthomas". $9.97 for four, but the shipping
is very high.
Amazing that these batteries seem to be about the only technology item
that's going _up_ in price.
I did see one Sanyo digital camera that came with two eneloop batteries
and a charger. Sanyo is actually the world's largest digital camera
manufacturer, but they mainly manufacture for other companies, and don't
sell much under their own brand.

Duracell makes 'precharged' batteries, their equivalent to the eneloops
(somebody says they actually ARE eneloops, just rebranded). I'm satisfied with
them.

4 AA cells/$12.06+shipping+tax , but you can find them cheaper.

Consider the possibility that every single item that in any way involves the use
of electricity is made by a single monstrous factory complex in China.

I could have sworn I saw them in the Rancho Cordova Store just last week.
Could be a brain fart, but...
