AAA http://dicksmith.com.au/product/S1091/gp-ultra-aaa-alkaline-…

This makes it $9.90 for 40 batteries, haven't seen good prices on Alkalines like this for a while especially if you only need a few.

Not sure of Aldi's prices because we don't have them here but Bunnings is about $8.90 for 30.

Edit: it seems you can only order 5 packets online. Perhaps you can make multiple click and collect orders or just grab as many as you want in store.

    wow, that's cheap although I don't like GP.

  • cloud226 on 18/01/2013 - 12:16

    I put 5xAA and 2XAAA batteries for "click and collect", the item Subtotal was $6.93 which's correct, then the total amount became $11.88 with "Collection Fee $0.00"?

    • wowoyu on 18/01/2013 - 12:25

      Looks like it includes Delivery Fee of $4.95?

      • retiredfeline on 18/01/2013 - 12:35

        Change the delivery method to Click and Collect at the checkout page.

    • Brett308 on 18/01/2013 - 18:14

      Happens to me too, don't worry they don't charge you for picking it up. :P

  • Nirraic on 18/01/2013 - 12:16

    can anyone vouch for a quality of these batteries? there have been some discount batteries I've gotten before and they weren't that great

    • superforever on 18/01/2013 - 12:23

      What kind of discount batteries, no brand name one?

      GP is big brand but duracell is better.

      • retiredfeline on 18/01/2013 - 12:27

        I vouch for Durabell batteries. They work well with my Shrap calculator. Not to mention my Panafonic remote control, my Toshliba radio, and my Sauny player. :) :) :)

        • ricodbn on 18/01/2013 - 12:39

          Have used GP rechargeables without any problems. These should be good. 99c for alkaline is pretty good. Wanted to get the DS brand AAA's last week but it was postage only which killed the deal.

        • turbodude on 18/01/2013 - 12:43

          I don't touch Duracells anymore as I have had quite a few leak. I have seen similar reports elsewhere. Have never had an Energiser leak.

    • aim54x on 18/01/2013 - 14:28

      I have used GP in button cells but never anything else…I can vouch that there are no problems with their SR44 button cells

    Do everyone a favour and buy some 8 pack glitter Eneloops for $20 instead.

    • ricodbn on 18/01/2013 - 12:40

      I love recharegable, sadly not suited to all applications.

    • fatice on 18/01/2013 - 14:25

      I have lots of Eneloops. But I have to keep a log on where they are as they are expensive. Giving my son's toy away without knowing there are Eneloops inside is a kick in the butt for me.

  • ethanol on 18/01/2013 - 12:46

    Thanks - in for some click & collect

    4xAAA, that is all i want. have plenty AA at home, but sometime you do need AAA.

  • compound on 18/01/2013 - 13:21

    I swear. This site. I can spend a whole day just online shopping…

  • Giga on 18/01/2013 - 13:37

    GP Battery is good ! Will buy some afterwork .

  • rodzy on 18/01/2013 - 13:38

    Ahmen to that, Compound

    picked up 13 pack AA and 5 pack AAA from NS :P

  • [Deactivated] on 18/01/2013 - 14:30

    5 of each at Sunshine plaza. still plenty left 2 hours ago. That should keep the toys running for a while. Too good.

    buy 3 packs at a time in store and pay by cash = further 2 cents saving

    • fatice on 18/01/2013 - 14:49

      Use Entertainmentbook to get Woolies giftcard (5% off), then pay for this with gift card, further 5% discount.

  • marko62 on 18/01/2013 - 15:48

    I ordered 2 x AAA and 2 x AA for a total of $3.96 for click and collect then after i submit the order it tells me i owe $8.91

    • marko62 on 18/01/2013 - 18:08

      I called in to the local store and collected the batteries for a total of $3.96

  • granthamana on 18/01/2013 - 15:57

    Anyone know the shelf life for these batteries? 5-8 years?

    • ezarc on 18/01/2013 - 16:29

      Alkaline batteries usually have a shelf life of about 10 years, maybe someone who picked some up can tell you the date on them.

      My packs say best before Jan 2017.

  • Telios on 18/01/2013 - 17:09

    Thanks OP.
    Love my eneloops but sometimes cbfd charging them.

    Always good to have a backup!

  • vegemite on 18/01/2013 - 18:05

    No AA's in SYDNEY CBD store left.

    But plenty of AAA's left.

    I just checked.

  • zelda707 on 18/01/2013 - 18:09

    thanks! just got some AAA's

  • Tal_Shiar on 18/01/2013 - 18:49

    cheers

  • deathjr on 18/01/2013 - 20:28

    Awesome post, picked up 8 packs each. Heaps of stock in Werribee plaza.

  • wau2 on 18/01/2013 - 21:04

    Bought the last ones in chadstone

  • coolsteps on 19/01/2013 - 10:58

    ow is a better deal if you need 5 packs as you get an extra 4 and a flash light but not sure on the expiry date nor if kodak batteries are better or not then Gp?

  • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 19/01/2013 - 12:59

    Awesome I mainly use eneloops for AA, but AAA I always seem to run out of alkalines

  • onlyme on 19/01/2013 - 13:15

    Is this available in store as well?

    • Tal_Shiar on 19/01/2013 - 17:28

      Yes, but call before you go

  • turbodude on 19/01/2013 - 16:57

    Yep

  • ofey on 20/01/2013 - 14:31

    Thanks for this. Picked up a couple of packs of each (AA and AAA). Will prove useful.

  • superforever on 21/01/2013 - 11:10

    Bought 3 packs AAA at Brookvale and they still have a lot.

  • haichee on 21/01/2013 - 18:16

    Now only allowed x4 AAA packs online…10 mins ago could buy max 5

  • eug on 22/01/2013 - 00:07

    I picked mine up today. I ran the AA through my battery analyser and the results were interesting. At 500mA load with a cutoff of 1.1V, they outlasted all the batteries I tried:

    • Ikea AA
    • Energizer AA
    • Energizer Advanced AA
    • Varta AA (Bunnings)

    I've uploaded the results here if anyone is interested:
    https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3018117/Alkaline_AA_Test_21_Jan_201…

    All the cells were new when I purchased them. The expiry dates and test dates are listed.

    I'll run a 100mA test next.

    • spy on 22/01/2013 - 00:40

      Ta champ, makes this a good buy then!

      • eug on 22/01/2013 - 23:00

        Yup, pretty happy with it!
        I just completed the 100mA test, it finished last. Looks like the chemistry is designed for high-drain devices, like it says on the pack!

        Measured capacity is 2.219Ah. The Energizer Advanced AA cell was 2.602Ah.

        https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3018117/Alkaline_AA_0.1A_Test_22_Ja…

        • turbodude on 23/01/2013 - 11:05

          Considering the $0.99/4 price and that (although they came last) they are not too far behind the other brands at 100mA I am still very happy with them. Cost vs capacity is still better than the Energizers (not sure about cost of the Varta & Ikeas).

    • turbodude on 23/01/2013 - 11:07

      The woman at Dick Smith tried to tell me that these were rubbish in high drain devices and that I should buy the Dick Smith brand Alkalines instead.

  • joequimby on 22/01/2013 - 19:25

    Expired. Back to $4.99 now

  • lynx on 24/01/2013 - 21:15
