Half the people you meet are below average intelligence.

Hmmm, half the people you meet are average intelligence or below.

I don't think that's right either.

What about:- Just under half the people you meet are below average
intelligence.

Half the average intelligence people you meet plus (half the people you meet
minus those of average intelligence) are below average intelligence.

Is that any good?

Most people don't shop on Ebay, they buy their batteries at the grocery
store or worse yet, Radio Scrap. And they're _not_ cheap there!

If you can find an $8.00 battery for $1.66 from an Internet source,why
would you buy from the more expensive place?

Go to your local Batteries Plus store and get fresh Duracell Procell AA's
for around half a buck apiece.

Never heerd of it. I'll have to see if there a store around here. I
doubt it, tho.

Nope. I checked their website, the closest store is 40 miles away, cost
me ten bucks for gas to get there and back. Forget it.

I can go to Fry's and get a brick of AA alkalines for $.25 to $.30 each.
Cheaper online, at such places as cheapbatteries.com.

I can buy a brick of AA alkalines for $.25 - $.30 each not on sale, and
even less when they're on sale. Hard to beat that for inexpensive
batteries, and everything seems to use AA cells.

What's bothering me is that very few flashlight makers have progressed
to designing their lights to use rechargeable cells. If more AA cell
sized flashlights would be designed to use Ni-MH cells, the world would
have a lot less batteries to trash, recycle, etc.

I've found cheap, off-brand batteries simply don't last very long. A
bought a bunch of el-cheapos from Big-Lots and they lasted about 1/3
as long as name brand ones.

NiMH batteries don't handle the current draw of a incandescent
flashlight very well. The do seem to be a good match for LED
flashlights though.

I think you have a different problem.. They power my thermal printer just
fine, with 10A pulse and 3A average draw.
