How To Get Rechargeable Batteries Half Price

July 14th, 2007 · No Comments

rechargeable batteriesGo 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!
