Most places seem to be within a couple bucks of each other, so I
buy them where there are other things that I need at the same time
to save on shipping.

WagAero and Aircraft Spruce are both reasonable.

However, the REAL question at battery time is 'do I want to replace
this ELT?' That's because some of the new ELTs (finally) use off-the-shelf
D-cell batteries, eliminating this stupid process of buying what is
(sometimes)
just a bunch of penlight cells in a block of resin with a wire soldered
on.
Also, these new ELTs have some rather nice features. And they are in
some cases incredibly cheap.

When I look at my old ELT, it strikes me as kind of a chunk of junk, more
rigged to not accidentally go off than to go off consistently on impact.
