Until 2010 I was buying the AA and AAA rechargeable batteries in local stores like BestBuy, WalMart, Sam's Club and Office Depot and consider a good deal if I could find them for less than $2 per item.
But things changed when I decided to try eBay. As many of us I was biased as to China non-branded goods quality but the very first experience allayed my apprehensions. Since then I'm buying all batteries on eBay and save up to 75 percents. For example I've tried five different items.
