Since FastTech no longer ships lithium (just tried) where can I get these cheap?
Ebay?
Yeah I suppose, though I was hoping for a trusted retailers sold em. So I could just add them to an order
There's about a thousand different names for these, makes tracking them down a nightmare.
I assume you can buy them at dollarama
Yeah, but none of the local stores have off-brands, and a 2-pack of Energizer 357s is like $9.
I get my smaller batteries from swatchbattery.com
They have energizer 357, the LR44 alternative, 10 for $13.41.
They carry many different sizes of button and coin cell batteries from Energizer and Renata.
Shipping is pretty good, $1.99 for under $5 order and free above $5.
I need some LR44s too. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but this look like a good deal Maxell LR44 1.5V Alkaline Single Use Batteries - 30 Count for sale online | eBay

Do you have a Radio Shack near you?
Last week I got some 16340's from them, and this week some lithium AA primaries.
Delivery time to Australia were 16 days and 18 days - pretty good.
i buy maxel ones off amazon for ~$2.50 \10. Had bad luck with the $1\ 10 ebay\ amazon\ china ones leaking, failing, die after few days\weeks when others last months\years
Dollar store batteries are usually pretty bad quality, I often see cells that have leaked still on the shelf. these are for a RedDot acog scope for an Airsoft gun my buddy uses. I honestly think he should have splurged on a sight that takes better batteries like cr2032 or even an aa, but it is a cool scope.
Our radioShacks are now called TheSource and there prices are quite high.
It’s not that I can’t buy locally, I just miss the days where I could get 10 for $2 from FastTech.com
I ordered some from eBay but I don’t like relying on eBay
i bought some last week from Dollarama, they were Sunbeam so hopefully okay quality, but i’m using them for a doorbell so not mission critical, but i suspect they are better then ebay batteries, but buying them from canadian tire or similar places would probably be the gold standard but at premium level prices.
LR44 batteries are alkaline cells… NOT lithium cells. Should have no restrictions on shipping.
You would think so, but I tried ordering them and another coin cell and it said two items unable to ship. Hold on, I’ll try again with just them this time
All shipping options are greyed out
I get this
Why are some shipping options greyed out?
Battery products can only be shipped via select shipping carriers.
They probably consider all batteries lithium, their software probably has batteries as a category so they grey them all out without going through it and hand picking only lithium to grey out
Yeah, that makes cense Bort
