Digital camera reviews of Maxell AA Alkaline Batteries Value Pack - 40 Pack
Digital camera Review: For the price, tough to beat
Summary: 4 Stars
Not a bad battery deal. While they don't last as long as some other batteries I've tried, their cost per battery more than makes up for it. For those that care about such things, they contain no mercury, no cadmium, and are made in China.Digital camera Review: Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
For the $$$ the best buy around, they are made in China but last almost as long as the US brands (made in mexico)Digital camera Review: Good batteries for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
So you really can't beat 40 AA batteries for $10. However, these guys really don't last that long when you are constantly using them. But what really does? I bought them when I purchased a Nintendo Wii, because I figured that they are cheaper than buying rechargeable batteries. I'd say that I go through a set of two batteries every other week (the Wii really eats up power). The value pack is nice because it separates the batteries into 10 sets of 4 batteries so they're easily transportable and don't shuffle around. Overall I recommend this product if you need a lot of cheap batteries. If you need batteries that last longer, go to the more expensive ones or rechargable ones.Digital camera Review: Good deal

I can't vouch for ElectroGalaxy in this case, but these batteries are a very good deal, and are also available from other Amazon resellers as well, at even better rates.
They last pretty long, and are likely to beat any other options you'll find in retail stores.
One obvious caveat, of course, is to carefully check the refund policies of those from whom you buy. For example--do they have restocking fees, and if so, how much; do they take back opened packages? If for some reason your batteries arrive, dead, you'll want to be able to return them, with no cost consequences.
Another caveat is the shipping cost. Check to make sure your dealer doesn't charge so much as to wipe out the cost advantage of buying this package here.
In cases of rotten dealers, Amazon's A-Z guarantee claim system can help tremendously, as I recently learned to my delight, though it's best to avoid needing it.
But for alkaline-eating kids, this is a good solution, short of investing in rechargers and expensive rechargeable batteries.
Digital camera Review: Good deal

These aren't the longest lasting batteries on the shelf, but given the price they are more than worth the money spent.
We go through quite a few batteries at work, and these have saved us quite a bit of money over longer-lasting, but considerably more expensive brands.
