Default Where do you buy your lithium batteries?

Where do you guys buy your lithium AA batteries. I can rarely find them but when I do, wow are they ever expensive. Anyone have any places to buy them cheaper? I would buy in bulk if I had too.

Thanks
SS

I got some decent rechargeable off of Amazon and have been using them all summer and fall so far. Got 8 AA and 8 AAA then rotate through as needed.

Can always try Costco if you want to stick with disposables
I think Canadian tire has them on sale once and a while as well

Not lithium but still high capacity and rechargable and I have had great luck with them. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00HZV9WTM

Rechargeable AA lithium batteries are new to the market and still hard to find.

Previously all AA and AAA Lithium batteries were not rechargeable, although a lot of folks thought they were.
So double check before you buy.

Note the Energizer Lithium AA are not rechargeable.

I've been trying to find rechargeable Lithium for a couple of years now, since it was announced that they were being made, so far I have not found an outlet but they should show up in the bigger stores soon.

If you found them at any price it is probably the only outlet for now, thus the high price. But once other outlets start to handle them the price should drop dramatically.

That makes sense. I have found other new to the market products there before anyone else in the area had them.

I bought my first LED 120 volt light there before the other stores I frequent had them. Those sold out in a few days and it was months before they got more. I know cause I kept checking.
By then I knew I wanted more. Now I find them in many of the local stores.
