It becomes a relative thing. If they last for 500 charges, the cost
suddenly becomes a lot more appealing.

In Calgary, Alberta, the average price for four 2500 mah AA cells is
roughly fifteen to twenty dollars.

My point was that *retail* prices are absurdly high, which you just proved.
$20 for 4 batteries? You can get 12 of these batteries on eBay for $20
including shipping.
