Adam Well, that is a very good question. I be buying these rechargeable lithium batteries?

John When it comes to these Kratax 3,700 milliwatt hour AA rechargeable lithium batteries with charger. 8-pack for 23 bucks. If you charge these batteries four times, now the cost is the same as it would be a cheap alkaline battery.
