Hi!

Does anyone knows where to get cheap CR2 batts? (Cheap as in < $4)

Would also like to know if there's any place where I can get rechargeable CR2 batts + charger. Does anyone has experience with this?

Appreciate any help or leads. Thanks!

Used to see some shop selling some unknown brand for $2.80 but they are gone. Nowadays, the branded one are going for about $4.80.

Didn't notice any rechargeable version.

Be careful of using cheapo batteries for expensive equipment.. I spoiled my clock when the batteries melted.

dealextreme http://www.dealextreme.com/products....400~search.cr2

nixontkl, thanks for the link. The Panasonic CR2 5-Pack looks like a great value.

You can go to Sim Lim Tower Level 2 and look for the hardware shop located at the back in the same row as the disco sound studio. That is where I bought my 2 x CR2 and the charger.
