 Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 4:28 pm Post subject: New alkaline cell source |
 |
|
I noticed a new line of "Members Mark" alkaline cells
on a display kiosk at Sam's Club yesterday. AA cells
for about 22.5 cents each, AAA cells for about 20.5
cents each. I've purchased both for immediate service.
It's going to be some time before I can put any on
uncle Bob's handy battery squeezer and measure their
contained energy. But at this price, it seems
unlikely that they'll not prove themselves to be
of exemplary value.

I've been going to send you this for quite a while, but just forgot about it. If
you remember some time back, I sent you some Ultralast AA cells I purchased at
Fry's Electronics for $15 per 100 cells. Your test showed the were inferior to
some of the others, but at that cost you thought they showed OK value.
As it ends up, about 10% to 15% have been dead (or very very low) from the
package. That makes there value a lot less and I am staying away from them.
Regards,
Dennis

Good data point. Thanks!
We'll have to see how Sam's products work out.
Given that they're carrying the Sam's Club
logo, I suspect the suppliers had to jump
some pretty tight hoops . . .
