I think I paid $48 for sixteen batteries, but I might be wrong about the price.
I'll check next time I'm in the neighborhood. I bought them at a store called

whatever quantity you want. But if I'm right about the price, it sounds like
you're getting them for less in four packs. I'll have to check.
