I swore I had mentioned this in a thread, but it seemed to disappear. I was looking for a case for AA batteries that were cheaper than Henry's.

I found the same one on Canada Computers website, if I take a printout of the web page to Henry's will they price match?

You mean the one that's $3.49 at CC and $5.99 at Henrys?

What are you going to do with the $2.50 that you save????????????????

I bought 3 battery cases from DealExtreme (each holds 4 AA batteries) for US$2.44. Shipping is free. I like them a lot.

"Why pay more when you can pay less" indeed.

Yes, indeed the red and transparent one at CC for that price.

Reason: only 3 left in stock, all at Pacific Mall. Not heading there any time soon. I was actually planing on buying multiple holders, but I only found one at the Mississauga Henry's.

However, while in the Mississauga Henry's I found a very nice Tamrac one with little red flags in it that can help indicate which batteries are dead.

Dollarama sells a plastic case that hold 12 AA and also one for 12 AAA batteries. You can then buy 2 still cheeper and it holds more batteries.

Simply label one with "charged" and one with "dead". they are only $1.00 each for both sizes they are located on the sides of the battery display.

I use the Tamrac 4 pocket one. It holds both AA's and flash cards. I've found it very handy since I can clip it to my belt.
