The Central Ohio Krogers have 4AA
4AAA 1-9v 2C 2D battery packs on
sale for $.99 (alkaline).

STAY AWAY from Kroger batteries if you value your electronics!

They are shoddy cheap batteries which are made in China that start to
leak after 2-3 Weeks of intermittent use. Don't put them in your radio or
other
portable unless you want to clean it out with baking soda after they
explode and leak "battery juice" all over the insides of the unit.

I lost an inexpensive but handy Radio Shack scanner
to these cheap crappy China AA batteries that Kroger and
other similar stores like them sells.

Stick with the name brands like Eveready, Radio
Shack, Ray-O-Vac, Panasonic and others.

If the battery says "MADE IN CHINA" on it, don't buy
it or you'll be sorry you did later on !
