Pound shops have them - usually in packs of 16.

What do you need them for? Cheap batteries are sometimes a false economy. If you need them for things that use a lot of energy, like cameras etc, you're best buying more expensive, long-lasting ones. For something like a TV remote then cheapies are fine

Just for normal every day items e.g clock, computer mouse etc

I would go to supermarkets- high stock turnover, so fresh(er) supply.. Uniross /Energiser brand is usually reliable.


get highest ampage you can afford, if going rechargeable ((at least 2000 mAH)

I needed a battery for my computer as the clock kept running slow and I kept getting error messages on there. I went to my local Mr T and they wanted well over £6.+ for a pack of two.I went to my local Kent Electrical suplliers and got exactly the same pack and brand for £2.00.Shop around if you can The expiry date on the pack is 2024 probably long after my 'puter gives up the ghost anyway :):)

Ikea sell batteries in packs of 10 for £1.50 and they are very good.

Pound shops mainly sell Kodak cheap batteries in packs of 12 for £1.
As said above, these are no good for use where power applications are required.

However, they also sell a range called Kodak Xtralife in packs of 5 for £1 and these are much better.
