For rechargeables I have about 10 RCR123's, 4 17650's, 8 AA Eneloops, and 8 AAA Eneloops.
For primaries I have about 80 CR123's, and bunch or AA and AAA Alkalines.

hmm...
I have:
9 AA Eneloops in my Mag85 with 3 more lying aorund on my desk (left over from the 3rd pack)
1 eneloop family pack so 4 AA 2 AAA
8 AAA eneloop for my soshine USB PSU
4 AAA Rayovac hybrids for my BT keyboard
12 Rayovac hybrids that used to power my mag85 but got bumped in favor of the Eneloops
4 AA Radio shack LSD cells
4 AAA Radio Shack LSD cells
A brick of rayovac alkalines (less that 15 bucks for 24)
60 Lithium Primaries (AA)
2 AW 14500 + 2 LiFePo4 (battery life on these arn't that great, I guess I should have known.. bought it from KD)
4 Trustfire RC123A
6 RC123A LiFePO4 (also from KD)
9 18650 salvaged from a laptop battery pack. I don't own anything that uses these.. YET
so in total I have
32 rechargeable NiMH AA cells
18 rechargeable NiMH AAA cells
24 alkalines AA
60 Lithium primary AAs
4 14500
10 RC123A
9 18650
Oh... and I almost forgot
20+ CR2016 and a few spare CR2032 (not including the ones installed in fauxtons, got a bag full of those)
Oh yeah.. i'm good for the next power outage. now all I need is a UPS to keep my modem/router/laptop going
I don't wanna guess what Silverfox/Selfbuilt/LuxLuthor has..

ok.. i'm glad that i'm not the only battery nut. I was looking at my stockpile thinking that a "sane person" would have me locked up
Sweet "haysus" you guys have some serious battery stocks!
Here is what I have:
4 AA 2000mah eneloops that are always in my EDC bag for my D10
Home:
24 or so AA Rayovac alkalines
3 old AA Powerex Nimh
4 D cell Rayovac alkaline (been in storage for 5 years now)
6 2400mah 18650 from Sony laptop (4 stored in fridge)
6 2600mah 18650 from another Sony (4 stored in fridge)
6 2000?mah 18650 from Dell laptop (fully charged)
2 cr123 surefire (came with my 6p)
8 Energizer AAA 800mah Nimh
I am so underprepared for doomsday.....:candle:
CPF rocks.

im new with this so i cant even imagine needing that many batteries you guys have.
i think their dates would expire before i could use them. (ask me again few years from now, if this has changed hahah)
So currently:
alkaline AAA: 27 (18 of them zinc carbons)
alkaline AA: 10
lithium AAA: none (need 4 i think)
lithium AA: 8 (need 20 more just in case)
alkaline D: 4
cr123: 15 (need to order 4-6 of better quality)
Rechargable
nimh AAA: 8 (maybe need 4 more)
nimh AA: 36 or so (plus 12-16 in remote controls)
nimh D: 2 (might need to get 4 more)
Rechargable Li-ion:
14500: 2 (and dont have flashlight for these yet, hah)
18650: 4 (just ordered 4 more from dx just in case)
17600: 1 (dont know where this came and where i need it)
rcr123: 4 (might need to buy 2-4 from aw)
now counting these.. 121 batteries.. and "need" 50 more?
i just wonder:
When did i become a battery junkie??

24 AA Eneloops
4 AAA Eneloops
A few Sanyo 1700's still usable
3 D cell NiMH
Not a lot, but they all suit my needs very well.

Labelled and in use or waiting to be used:
AA:
60 Eneloops
8 Imedion
16 EnergyOn
4 Powerex 2700
16 Hybrio
Total: 104
AAA:
24 Eneloop
8 Imedion

Unused/Unopened:
14 Eneloop AA
8 Eneloop AAA
4 Hybrio AA
26 EnergyOn AA
4 Imedion AA
2 Imedion AAA
2 Accupower C
All up, I've got a total of 106 Eneloops and a grand total of 232 rechargeable cells that are either in use or waiting to be used. I've got a small pile of rechargeables that should be sent off for recycling that I haven't counted above. I've also got a fair number of Eneloop AA to C and D adapters as well.
I suppose I shouldn't wonder why my wife thinks that I'm obsessed with batteries
Edit: There are very few non rechargeables in this household - only those that came with products - I haven't bought primaries for at least a couple of years.
I've also got batteries in my UPSs - a small APC SmartUPS 700 with only an internal battery for the HTPC. My office runs off a APC SmartUPS XL with 2 extra external battery packs.

Here's totals and number habitually found in a light, or carried as spares. (I have a number of lights that don't have rechargeable batteries in them all the time...)
- 3x18650 -- 2 in a Mag61
- 6x25500 -- 3 in an Eveready85
- 3x15260 (RCR2) -- still waiting for an AA mod to show up.
- 6x14500 -- 1 in a light, 2 spares
- 6x10440 -- 1 in a light, 2 spares
- 6xD NiMH -- 4 in a light (P7 Mag)
- 4xAA LSD -- 2 in a digicam
- 12xAAA LSD -- 5 in 3 lights, 2 spares
- 8xAAA NiMH -- 8 in 2 USB hubs (I mean to change one of these to LSDs, but haven't yet.)
- 10-20xAA KOH -- for my coldheat soldering iron, and some stashed as emergency backups for my 14500 light and camera.
- Unspecified number of AAA and D KOH, not used much at all. Some are stashed as emergency backups for the P7 and the 10440/AAA lights
Well - if you want a smart-arse answer..
The moment you decided to hit that 'register' button on CPF!
'Nuff said.

Wow after reading this I don't feel so bad about having around 20 CR123 primaries in my sock drawer. It does make sense to have a stockpile of batteries in case the SHTF.
Oh no... this is the same feeling I got when I realized it's OK to buy a bunch of expensive flashlights and still be sane (I guess that's a matter of opinion). I think my checking account is about to pull a "stock market" and won't recover for a while.

You know you're really paranoid when you charge your batteries from a solar system constructed to maintain your rechargeable battery supply!
OT: I remember buying a cheap kerosene lantern and a gallon of Kerosene in Hawaii for night fishing. Never did go night fishing with it. When hurricane Eva hit, and we had no electrical power for about three weeks. That lantern became worth it's weight in gold! (after blowing off the dust that had collected on it and filling it for the first time with fuel)
