The greencells I picked up in the UK worked out around 50p each, which is not too bad. The bigger the order the cheaper they work out.

I've got a ton of these as well and they're great value except that they need help from some tape to stay in the battery snap of one of my fuzz faces where other 9v batteries are fine. It's odd.

If you are in the USA, any dollar store should have them. Usually made by Panasonic. They are black and blue in color.

I use those as well. All the dollar stores in Western Canada stock those Panasonics. I always keep a drawer full of them. :marx:

For any Aussie members, Kmart sell a 6-pack of carbon zinc 9v batteries for $5.

I use these in all of my fuzzes and they sound ace :hihi:
