Re: 9V batteries - where to get them cheap?
ditto Jack's post... Dollar General... and if you're OK with Alkaline's they're all supposedly the same in terms of quality.  
 
i read the same reports that some of the other sighted here and the deal is, don't be fooled by "heavy duty"... that's just marketing hype like "new and improved"... they're not alkaline.... in fact i'm not sure what they are.  
 
anyway, DG is the best deal i've found.

I'm suprised nobody makes a switchmode supply to convert a 1.5 v C cell to 9v. It would probably be cheaper, last lots longer, and regulate the voltage to boot. The technology is there, for sure.

some have, and it's been discussed here before. i know R.G. is a proponent of this solution.

Go to www.markertek.com. Enter "duracell" in the search field. You will find they have 1 doz. for 18.99....
