Amazon has dropped the Eneloop XX 2500mAh 8 Pack AA Ni-MH of Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries back down to its low price point of $30.24. Nearly everyone I know agrees that Eneloops are the current pinnacle of battery tech. If you're sick of constantly buying, and properly disposing of Alkalines (because you do that, right?) make the move to Eneloop.
