The batteries we get in the US are made in Tijuana by children, so we US
consumers score big time. Thank you NAFTA!

Holy cats! And I whined when I had to buy a set this spring
(after three years) for $120! That's before sales tax, which
in this state is close to 10%, but if I'd bought them through
the mail the total would have been just about the same with
shipping, and I'd have had to paid to get them filled, too.
Either you're paying some nasty tariff, or ecology tax, or
something, or you found a terrible source.
