In this Sunday's (8/17) ads but not marked on the rack...at least in my local store it was still marked at 15.99...but goes through the register just fine at 10.99, a saving of $5...this is a good thing...These rechargable are 2000mAh for those who need specs.

This would only look hot to me if they were $5 or less after all discounts.

As for alternatives, this is my benchmark:
Kodak w/charger for $11.97

The 4 packs of LSD (Low Self Discharge) Rayovacs alone were going for ~$7.97 at my Wallyworld months ago.

I appreciate that others are looking for good deals on LSD, so thanks anyway OP and do try, try again.

.

people don't know how mush better the precharged recharables are by comparison with regular recharables.

this is a GREAT deal.

find out how good the rechargables are before you make up your mind about price

.

I use them in beepers, tv remotes, digital cameras, gps.
A battery that lasts a year at 50% does me zero good. I want a battery that allows me to shoot 50 or 60 high res shots ... and then I just swap out another pair.
I keep 4 in the charger and rotate regularly - if they cost me 1/3 of what the "best" LSD batteries do I still don't see the benefit ... for me or my family.

Now if you put a flashlight in the glove box for your daughter.... sure.
Got any other better uses ? Maybe smoke detectors ?

These are $1 / per AA. Why would I want to spend 3 times that ?

Thanks for telling us.

Because for $2 you get batteries that hold their charge much better.

What other sorts of digital photographs are there? Essentially anything over 1mp is "HD" resolution and how does the resolution of the photo you are taking have anything to do with batteries?

Uh, maybe you won't always take photos within ten feet of your charger? Or maybe, the idea of swapping batteries out of your remote control, cordless keyboard or mouse, MP3 player, baby monitor etc.... every four or five days or so might get tiresome, do you think?

Somebody mentioned Kodaks and I've bought several sets of their low discharge NiMH batteries and have been a bit disappointed in their performance. Yes, if you install them and let them sit for three weeks, they'll still work, whereas a normal NiMH won't have more than half its charge after a week, but they only last about as long as maybe my first set of 1600mAh NiMH batteries did, maybe less. Furthermore, they are about 1 to 1.5mm larger in diameter than normal AA batteries, so they are hard to get into a lot of items that take a AA battery and almost got permanently stuck deep inside one of my remote controls.
