just a note-- my grandfather is a passionate penny-pincher, and always uses dollar store batteries everywhere. they don't last anywhere near as long as a genuine energizer or duracell battery. in my experience, if one gets 6 months out of them, they're decent.

they also tend to leak out more consistently than they keep the battery juices in, which is a massive pain to clean up...

for an extra $0.45/battery, you can get a genuine name brand battery that will last at least 2 years minimum.
