Thanks for this. We go through AAs around here like water. I've also found there is a store brand called Homebest that work excellent. They are a Supervalu generic and I swear by them. It's normally around $5 for 16 of them.

We found this brand online (Members Mark) and purchased a box as they were so cheap. So far (about 12 batteries in) they are holding up well to some Rayovacs we got cheap on Black Friday.

Its less then $11 for 48 AA batteries. I wish CR would of reviewed them.
