Does anyone know where to buy industrial batteries? I had Energizer Industrial batteries in a remote and they lasted about a year and a half while other batteries last less than 6 months. I was wondering where consumers might be able to buy them because it was really convenient not having batteries that start to fade after a few months forcing me to move forward to control stuff.

I don't know about the industrial batteries but you can pick up some high capacity Ni-Mh rechargable batteries. The NiMh's don't have the "memory" problems like the Ni-Cd's do. I found a place with excellent shipping speeds and prices.
I personally picked up the deal that has 12 - 2250mah AA's plus a quick charger for $27. It came out to exactly $32 with shipping after the 5% off coupon code below. Excellent value..... try to do that at other retail outlets, you will end up paying $25 for just 4-1800mah AA's with an overnight charger.

Use the coupon code of batteryspace for 5% off.
And no... I do not have any affiliation with the above site or do I get any "kick backs".

i second batteryspace. usually a 4pack of 1800mA AA NiMH batteries go for like 10 bucks, at like buy.com or something, just a week or two ago i got 24 AA 2250 mA NiMH and 12 AAA (forget the amperage, but it was a good level) with shipping for like 30 bucks, give or take a buck. that's is an INCREDIBLE deal. I now have more batteries than I know what to do with, but i'll never have to wait on the charger again. (i recommend investing in a quality charger. you don't want one that doesn't support conditioning or that will overcharge your bateries. i don't know if that free one is really worth it. not saying it isn't, just don't know)
