Go to the battery aisle of your local Wal-Mart, and you will find that a four-pack of any brand rechargeable batteries will set you back about ten bucks. But Wal-Mart has a secret — half-price batteries hiding out with the digital camera accessories. Four AA or AAA rechargeables (NiMH) are only $4.95. Amazingly, this approximates the lowest price for bulk generics on eBay (after shipping). They are also available with fast 30-minute and 1-hour chargers.
These aren’t wimpy batteries, either, with a 1,000 mah rating for AAA (the higher energy capacity means longer run time).
Just look for the gaudy metallic blue/green batteries in the yellow “bubble” package. A necessity for anyone using digital cameras or battery-eating toys!
