Is it just me, or have the price of batteries gone up significantly the past few years?
MBtGE showed me a cheap source of 4 D-Cells. Your big-box home centers like Home Despot often have big cheap plastic flashlights on the end of the aisle. It comes with one of those big block cube of a battery with 2 springs on the top. These are often called a lantern battery. The whole thing is often much cheaper than a pack of 4 D-cells, but if you pry the casing of the cube, inside, is 4 D-cells. But don't destroy the lantern battery upon purchase. Maybe the thing you need the D's is for light and heck, it comes with a cheap disposable flashlight.

But only sometimes there are D's are inside.
If battery power is proportional to battery volume, and I suspect it is, then filling a lantern battery with 4 D cells (crappy D cells too, I'm sure) is really cheaping out.
Yep, they are usually seconds that couldn't be sold as 'good' D-cells.
