I thought this was a good bargain 30 packs of kodak AA and AAA batteries for 3.00 thats 10 cent a piece. they are not old stock as the manufacturing date says march 20.
Kodak afaik is a massive corporation so they are bound to be decent enough.
PS I found these batteries to be better then the Ikea ones !

Are you just bragging or did you forget to include a link?

That’s standard pricing for them

These zinc batteries don't last a fraction of the time that the alkaline batteries last.

Penneys do cheap AA and AAA Alkaline batteries. Doubt they're as good as big brand but think they are 2 euro or so for 10 and do an alright job imo.

I think im going to do that, I had them years ago but over the year or so of use they became useless and got very bad holding charge so was left with redundant charger and batteries but might look at them again maybe the tech has caught on.

might invest in these puppies when i use up my 90 kodaks :pac:

Get "ready to use" rechargeable batteries, Ikea do them and they appear fairly regularly in Lidl.

Better/Best deal (inc the environment too) would be just to use rechargeables and save more money in the longer term after small investment for fast charger etc.

We've switched to rechargables. Bought the better quality Amazon charger. It has an LED readout on it so you can see the quality of the batteries and has individual charging slots. The last one I had needed to be charged in pairs.


Picked up batteries on Amazon and in Ikea. Will pick up some more when I get a chance. Always have spares charged in a case I bought on Amazon. Just switch them when needed and charge the used ones.


Much better than buying single use batteries all the time. Bit more expensive at the beginning but works out better in the long run if you buy decent batteries that can be charged 1000+ times.

I bought these exact batteries last week for a trial camera. I've had them in a week and still 50%. Be aware that these will drop to 50% fairly rapidly but will remain at that level for a long time because they are 1.2v and not the 1.5v like alkaline.

I find them great for remote controls and kids toys that eat up batteries.

They're a false economy for both really - you just eat up *more* batteries with them.
