Is there some kind of Energizer l91 scam going on??

[themaxx69]

I was looking for lithium batteries online and I found lots of energizer ultimate lithium aaa on ebay really cheap. advertised as new in package from "reputable" sellers. Cheap as in $1 - $1.50 a battery.

I couldn't find any info online about any kind of recall or defective batch, so are there just lots of people selling them cheap or what? Anybody heard anything? I know someone will say your taking a chance with people lying on ebay, but now a days, ebay and paypal protect buyers a lot more. Plus, I doubt people with hundreds and thousands of feedback are selling bogus batteries. Anyways, just wondering if anybody has noticed this. I guess I'll know tomorrow if they are all gone. :mecry:

That's a little less than the price I get them for in the store.

I thought they were like $2-3 in stores.

At Sam's Club I get 3 4-packs for $20. $20/12 = $1.67 each.

If they have any, last time I was at Sam's they didn't have any lithium AA/AAAs.

I'm gonna look at the dark side of things and guess that due to the lack of competition from other brands, Energizer(correction:retail stores) is able to charge the prices that they do for lithium primaries.

That said, I'd be interested to know if anyone on the forum has had experience with the batteries sold on for cheap mentioned by the OP.

I bought a 4 pack of aaa for $5 shipped. I'll do some testing.
