Fry's sometimes sells a 10-pack of 2000mAHr cells for $10. "No Mem"
brand, I think.

I found the best prices for 2300 Energizers at my local Target store. This
was a while back, so I expect now they carry the 2500s. No shipping
charges. And no gasoline either, as I can walk there.

The last ones I got where from here:
http://thomas-distributing.com/energizer-aa-nimh-rechar...

4 packs of Energizer 2500mAh AA NiMH for under $11, and they give you
a cheap plastic stackable holder for them too.

For backup, I carry one set of non-rechargeable Energizer e2 Lithiums:

These are under $8 for a pack of 4 AA.

Note their special offer is currently a free keychain light with every
order, you have to add it to your order though:

(when I placed my last order, it was Iraqi Playing Cards...)

Also, check Wal-Mart.

That's a very underpowered cell. Currently (ha!), they are pushing
past the 2500mAh point. NiMH go bad on the shelf (eg, they age all on
their own). I'd steer clear of the older low current ones.
