Where do folks get good batteries (coin batteries) for cheap. I have some cheap MEC lights that need 2 CR2032 and the basic price is about $5 a battery. The original light came with 2 of these and only cost $4.
Wondering if there's a better place to buy quality batteries than the dollar-store, ebay or going to MEC and just buying a new light.

Where'd you get them? Its a stupid topic but light-hearted and simple enough. Did you just buy them through ebay - and trust the quality. We've bought ebay camera / phone batteries with no hassles in the past.
I was just surpirsed the price Walmart and likes want for them - and how much the "canada battery" web-sites wnat.
Met a guy who sold cheap watches - and he had a great price, but I no longer know him.
With kids toys - we go through a lot of these little things. |

There are stories of counterfeit batteries being produced in Asia. Hell, they are even producing knock-off Canadian cigarettes overseas now. I wonder how much of a dumping ground Ebay is for these overseas batteries? |

I checked Digitkey - not bad only $0.32 - I guess that's where to get them. Beats $5 at the batterybuyer / canada-battery sites. Active was $2 a battery... |

I got them from work. We have a few products that need them. Let me know how many you need. |

Let me know if you're getting any. I can go for 10 x 2032 and 10 x 2025, and can help pay some of the shipping. Steph |
