I just bought 8 from Ikea, on the recommendation of folks here who said that those are equivalent to Eneloops. $6.99 per four pack.
yup. I need to pick up 3 4 packs at ikea next weekend. I'd rather have the extra juice as they will be in emergency flashlights and lanterns. I will charge them yearly to top them off.
Anither reason over alkalines is that rechargeables almost never leak and ruin stuff. In an emertgency backup light, you DON'T want a failure like that.

I bought three, what I thought were well made aluminum 2AA LED flashlights, that were/are great for traveling. 2 of the 3 have been cannibalized by leaking alkalines. The lone remaining soldier has been on Eneloops, and I hope will last for the duration. I haven't seen similarly well made, well priced flashlights in quite awhile. They were like 3 for $25 in the early days of LED, super heavy duty, waterproof, etc.. Frustrating as heck when good stuff fails, especially from leaky batteries.

Duracell are the current leakiest alkalines FWIW.

I have a clock that my alkaline battery tried to eat. Now have four AA eneloop batteries I rotate through.
