Your math is still wrong since you forgot sales tax, 9.75% in TN.
So, $5.40 + $0.53 tax = $5.93/4 = $1.48 per battery
$1.00 + $.10 tax = $1.10/2 = $0.55 per battery
$1.48 - $0.55 = $0.93 difference per battery

A more realistic comparison, 2 for 2. I don't need 4 batteries and do not have Amazon Prime.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Duracell-...-Pack/45836598 $5.23 on Amazon.
$5.48 + $.53 tax = $6.01/2 = $3.01 per battery
$1.00 + $.10 tax = $1.10/2 = $0.55 per battery
$3.01 - $.55 = $2.46 difference per battery

And where are the Duracell batteries made. China.

Quality is different though. And that is the root of the entire argument to not buying cheap batteries.

Installed LCAs and tried to get camber as close to original setting as possible. Alignment booked on Thursday.
Spent an hour fiddling with it to get the wheel straight.

I agree with you that the AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V size name brand batteries, i.e., Duracell, Energizer, are better quality than the Dollar Tree batteries. There have been test comparisons between them, and the Dollar Tree batteries have less stored energy. I would not buy those batteries.
I have seen no test comparisons between the Dollar Tree's lithium CR batteries and others.
I have purchased these before and have had good results with them in low drain devices, like key fobs.

Installed VLEDs V6 Triton 921 in the reverse lights. Had to wait for them to make new gaskets as for some odd reason, Subaru/Toyota's 921 aperture is larger than normal, but not as large as "large" 921 apertures.

First track day with my son. Had a blast. Car ran great. Best day I've had in a long time

RToyo86 · 01-14-2021, 03:31 PM

Had alignment done. Maxed out the stock rear toe arms at on the passenger side at -1.9°. any less and it toes out.

LR toe was zeroed after photo taken.

Came across my FT86 club stickers while cleaning up

Installed heated seat kit in my car, along with an alcantara-wrapped center console.

MJones_RB · 01-18-2021, 02:17 PM

Replaced my transmission/transaxle oil with 4L of Motul Gear 300. Drives like BUTTAH now.
