Interesting!... last 20% longer but cost only 15% more! I have been using Rayovac (cheap) they cost less than half of duracell or energizer but I get about 85% of the runtime of major brands. Walley world has a 36 pack for less than $12. That will last me nearly all summer.

Interesting.. I've heard about them. Didn't know how much they cost though.

I've been using 2700 mAh rechargeables and have been very satisfied with them. They seem to last forever.

Best I have seen was a 50 pack on sale for $5 LOL. It was at some discount food mart. I get my 2 for a buck 9V there.
