100 Pack of Kodak AA or AAA Batteries for $15.96 Shipped

I paid with PayPal and it charged me $17.06 even though my receipt shows $15.96. I'll ask them about it but I guess I'm not crying over the dollar either.

nice deal but how old?

being on bargain outfitters I do wonder how old these batteries are? Since batteries do have shelf lives.

Was there sales tax for you?
 
I ordered one of each on the same order... total $30.93. Not bad for 200 batteries!!! Thanks for the deal!

No, and Paypal doesn't show any details, just the total. Customer service wrote back and said something about paypal doing a pre-auth that shows an amount that might not be accurate, and that paypal doesn't have a way to recognize discounts. That can't be entirely true since it's only $1.10 more, not $5 more. Anyway I guess I'll see what ends up getting charged and go from there. My guess is that Paypal calculated the discount wrong. Probably not even worth the time to figure out.
 
I usually use Duracell, is Kodak a good battery that lasts a good amount of time?

It did the same to me, but it was fixed a couple of days later. (I didn't even have to ask.)

Okay, I bought a pack of AAAs (which came in two sealed boxes of 50). They have dates of 11/2012, 01/2013, and 02/2013.

I put two cells in a remote control, which proceeded to not work. After I pulled the remote control apart, I discovered that one of the cells was only putting out 0.403 V. I changed that cell, and the remote control appears to work now.

So I checked the rest of the box. All measured between about 1.506 V and 1.588 V, except one each at 1.499 V, 1.150 V, and 1.388 V. (That 0.403 V cell? Now 370 mV and dropping.)

So that box has an 8% failure rate. That makes me think these cells are pulls or used, rather than new. Best to check them with a multimeter before you use them.

Still, I think this was a reasonable deal. Thanks!

(363 mV...)
