Costco for most batteries. A few years ago Consumer Reports tested a bunch of batteries, and while some "name" brands would last a little longer than the Kirkland brand, the cost savings more than made up for the shorter run times. ___________________________________________ "He was never hindered by any dogma, except the Constitution." - Ty Ross speaking of his grandfather General Barry Goldwater "War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want." - William Tecumseh Sherman | |||

That was the problem. The deals were out of sight, but so were the batteries - in the literal sense. -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

The dollar store batteries are alkaline which are the best. Some also carry the old zinc carbon which have half the capacity of the alkaline but you will notice that you get twice the batteries compared to the alkaline package of 4 versus the zinc carbon pack of 8. 41 | |||

Why not? They seem to advertise HEAVILY on the talk radio station I listed to for my morning and evening commute. This is Batteries + Bulbs we are talking about? | |||

For specialty batteries I usually go to Batteries + Bulbs. They're fairly knowledgeable. The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People again must learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. ~ Cicero 55 BC The Dhimocrats love America like ticks love a hound. | |||

They talked me into letting them install the new battery on my watch (I guess you could say, my fault after not heeding the words of my father to always use a jewler). My watch stopped a day or so later and Batteries + would only recommend a jeweler who, upon revealing the scratched coil, wanted $100+ to fix. So yeah, both of them are on my list. On the positive side, I held on to the watch for a few years, almost forgetting about it and came across a jeweler who changed the battery and fixed it for $35. I had to ask how they could do that so cheap. They flat out told me the other jeweler would probably have sent them the watch to fix in the first place. So yeah, I'm a bit biased against B+Lb. | |||
