I just noticed that I mistakenly stated that I was going to replace my old C-cells with PowerEx AAA Imedions--what a goof! Can't do that, I need to replace them with the Imedion C cells.
ZBattery.com had the best price for the cells and charger (better than Amazon), but I had to pay shipping charges. I'm OK with that, sometimes it's a good thing to support businesses other than Amazon.com, especially when the shipping charges essentially wipes out the price difference.
