Low self discharge NiMh cells at Walmart

A few weeks ago I had seen the Kodak Low self discharge NiMh cells
at Walmart for $7.9x for a package of four. Yesterday I went there
to get some AA cells and they were around $9.50 per package. I went
down the aisle to look at Rayovac Hybrids and all they had was one
package of AAA cells. When I went back to look at the Kodak cells
again, they were gone. Store employees had taken them down.

After I got home, I looked on the Walmart web page and all I found
were Kodak cells with a charger which was listed as out of stock on
the web page. (There was a button I could click to search local
stores for it.)

Is there another chain store that has Low self discharge NiMh cells
for a good price? http://thomasdistributing.com has the Kodak Low
self discharge NiMh cells at $7.97 for a package of four. Does any
other Internet order place have them or another brand for a better
price?

Thank you in advance for all replies.

 

Thomas Distributing is about as good as it gets on the Internet.
Another good option: <http://www.batteryjunction.com/hybrio.html>

 

If there is a Target near you, I think they carry the "Hybrid" brand.
Kind of sounds like you don't want to spend $10 bucks on them?
Don't be cheap over $2. I don't know the quality of the Kodaks, but the
RayoVac ones have been great for me. I have 20 some cells in use since
starting last Jan. Some running on the original factory charge.

I found Eneloop batteries at Costco, but I don't see them in
their online store.

 

You can buy eight Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries for $19.99 on Amazon, which is an
excellent price.

Amazon has the Sanyo eneloop at 4 for 9.43 ("http://tinyurl.com/22qosv")
with free shipping at $25 or more. Thomas Distributing has them at 4 for
$9.97, but you have to pay shipping. When Amazon has the same product
at Thomas it's almost always cheaper at Amazon, with the added advantage
of free shipping for orders over $25.

Personally I wouldn't be skimping on non-Eneloop cells, and I also
wouldn't be driving around trying to save a couple of bucks when gas is
$3/gallon.

Costco has a good deal on the kit, though only if you actually have a
need for all the items:

* Eight AA eneloop batteries
* Four AAA eneloop batteries
* Charger
* Two C adapters: $4.25
* Two D adapters: $4.25

It's about $26. It was $26.49, but I think it came down in price a bit.

Personally I'm able to use all the pieces, as I have a lot of remote
controls that take AAA batteries. I've bought three of these kits so far.

 

Ironically, it's cheaper to buy two four packs, see
"http://tinyurl.com/22qosv". Even though it's sold by a third party, it
still qualifies for free shipping for some reason.

 

FWIW - I doubt very much that Kodak MAKES them.

 

I w`as in a WalMart this afternoon and they had plenty RayOVac
hybrids--didn't pay attention to the price, as I have a sufficiency
right now. They also had packs of four that included a charger. I saw no
Kodaks, but that particular store never has carried them AFAIK.
Incidentally, neither the WalMart nor Target web site merchandise is a
perfect match for store inventories.

You can get the Eneloop batteries from Amazon.com.

 

Looking at a Walmart store is pretty meaningless. A given store will
fluctuate in what they carry and there will be variations from store to
store.
I've had a set of Eneloops for a year, only charged them once last
November. Got 653 shots out of the box and currently running just over 300
and counting.
I have a set of Hybrid AAA which seem ok but I haven't had them long
enough to know for sure. Use in my single cell mp3 player.
Got a set of Kodak AA a month or so ago using in portable cd player,
insufficient experience to comment. Best retail source for AA Eneloop
seems to be Ritz at $12.

Only if you're willing to buy from Amazon, which I'm not (due to privacy
issues).

 

Just out of curiosity, how is Amazon worse than Google for privacy,
or do you not use Google either?

 

I personally consider Amazon's written policy and actions much worse
than Google. YMMV.

 

I have been dealing with Amazon for some years with no bad experiences.
The only problem has been receiving an older version of one software
package than was advertised, and they adjusted the price on that one
when I complained. What privacy issues have you seen?

Nothing seems completely private these days, so doing business with a
credit card that is protected for online use is always a good idea.

 

Navas is a fool. Plain and simple.

 

Have you taken the time to actually read the privacy policy, carefully?
Did you even take the time to Google "Amazon privacy"?

Sure, but that's not sufficient for ignoring all other privacy issues.

 

Childish name calling only serves to make you look foolish.

 

I don't know who you are, as you are very new here, but I pegged Kerby
as a proper resident of my killfile long ago. I suggest you do the same.
And welcome to the ng.

Nope, as you could have seen with a quick Google Groups check.

I personally don't have much need for killfiling.
