Default Online batteries?

Where do you find inexpensive batteries? I bought a home security system and the batteries need replacing. Home Depot and Rona have them for $25 each! No way am I doing that. They're 3V lithiums.

I have heard rumours that some recesses of the internet are being catalogued and indexed by tiny machines that scurry about.

Perhaps you could inquire with one of those?

Amazon always has a decent selection. Here is a listing for 4 Energizer 3V batteries for $10.

Also, dollar stores. The Dollar Tree by my house has Sunbeam brand batteries for $1.25 in all the usual battery sizes including 3V and watch batteries.

Thanks for the suggestions. My batteries are 3V but similar in shape to AAs, but two-thirds the length and slightly larger in diameter. Nonetheless good ideas and I'll follow up.

Believe you are looking for CR123a batteries. They are available at camera stores, amazon, etc. But the battery model should help your search
