Default Where to buy batteries

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.

There's an option for most vehicles that increases brake horsepower, increases mileage, increases driver control, lasts longer than the alternative, and even reduces the price of the vehicle. Despite all this, most people in this country choose the alternative, an automatic transmission.

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)
