M&R batteries

[Zelko-4-EVA]

 i looked at M&R prices and compared what i paid in the past. what used to be a $50 battery is now $150 - $100 more for the same battery? 

its a bit of a shock, my shopping cart at M&R is up to $830 to replace the batteries in the five autos.

has anyone else used batteries from amazon or other sources?  what were the results?

thanks in advance

M&R doesn't make batteries, but they might put connectors on them.

I wouldn't go with amazon, but Mouser or Digikey will have quality products.
(there's actually a lot of shadiness in the battery world)
We have used them for our MHM and they've been fine.

Yes, I used mouser for the battery for our old old M&R i-image.  I think it was like $12.

I don't mind paying a premium for M&R to have the parts on hand for us, saves me from hunting/finding/etc.

BUT some times the prices are ridiculous and I can't believe they do it with a straight face.
