check costco, bj's, sam's, etc...(wherehouse club). i got my panasonic charger with 6 AA's and 2 AAA's for 20 bucks at costco and still always see them when i'm there as well. nice to have a charger for both AA's and AAA's. also came with 2 C & 2 D adapters. ie ability to use AA's it came with as a C or D cell. Also bought some cheap 2600 mah from a site like all battery as mentioned. the charger is the important part. use it for my 360 controllers, portable speakers.
