There are more details on how the two exclusive offers work in the link to the Duracell batteries.

Here is a quick copy and paste job of the details if you're too lazy to click on the link to find the info.

Buy 4, Get 1 Free Special Offer Details
To receive the Bonus with Purchase discount
Add 4 products described in the promotional offer message to your Shopping Cart one of two ways:
a. Via the Add both to Cart button in the promotion description, OR
b. Via the Add to Shopping Cart button on each respective product information page.
The value of the Bonus item will be reflected on the final order checkout page and will be allocated proportionally to all participating promotion items in the Shopping Cart, including the Bonus item itself. For example, if the promotion offers one Bonus item worth $10 for free when you purchase 2 items worth $20 each, the value of the $10 item will be divided proportionately between the three items, so that the Bonus item will appear with a $2 discount, and each of the two other items will appear with a $4 discount.

That's a lot of batteries.
[/kramer]

(from the episode where Kramer opens some appartment door, I think in Elaines building, and shockingly looks in and says "That's a lot of potatos")

edit: good deal. or you could save the planet and buy rechargables.

I added 8 and through checkout they didn't discount me...

What is the A9 discount?

 

[Nick5324]

That is a ton of AA batteries, I don't know that I'd ever use them. Good for those who use lots of AA's. I think the A9 discount has something to do with using the A9 search engine.... I don't know any details.

 

[Kwad Guy]

While this is a decent deal for the batteries, putting that stuff about "normal price is $20 for 16 batteries" in the heading makes you sound like a patsy. $20 is not the normal price for 16 AA batteries anywhere on this earth that I know of...

EDIT: Nice update to the title OP!

Costco AA batteries are 48 for ~$10... I don't know how they compare to Duracells, but most Costco generics are as good as or better than their brand-name equivalent.

 

[Chevydriver]

If they were "AAA" (or "9-volt" or "D") then I would pull the trigger. I never find good deals for those sizes, its always "AA" on sale. Got way to many "AA" as it is. Don't really have items that take that size.

 

[maxcom]

nice find but too much work for this old man

 

[feelingshorter]

sounds like a deal but quite a bit of batteries you have to buy

 

[kamranziadar]

These are not rechargable

 

[intogamer]

thread revive! you can buy rechargables!

8 pack AA's for $12, not bad at all.

 

[brucekatz]

$12 for 8 rechargable is not "FREE Super Saver Shipping", from other vender.
$14 from Amazon is.

Rechargeables

I dunno if it was the same before, but it appears now that the rechargeables are offered by Amazon for $12.92 with the free super saver shipping available.

Decent deal on the Duracell rechargeables but note that the AA's are 2050mAh and the AAA's are 750 mAh that Amazon is selling. The new Duracell NiMH's are much higher. I bought two packs of the Duracell AA's at OM last week for 8.99 for a 4 pack that were 2500 mAh batteries. They are a little more expensive but much larger capacity. Also OM was selling the AAA's that were either 850 or 900 mAh batteries.

Maybe I am missing something, but AA rechargables only supply 1.2 V? Most alkaline provide 1.5 V... I have too many devices (that I really don't use anymore because of this) that need the 1.5 V. They act strange and "wonky" with rechargables.

Good deal I guess for those who have devices like this.

What devices? A normal 1.5V battery starts at 1.5V but that tends to drop quitefast and most things work wel with only 1.2V.

 

[Devistater]

Yeah I've never found any devices that have issues with 1.2 volts. Since normal batteries drop voltage over their lifetime, devices are made to work with a range of voltages. In fact, if I recall correctly, rechargables stay near 1.2v for most of thier charge, whereas alkies drop quickly from 1.5
Also, alkies have trouble with high current devices, like digital cameras, they can't supply them as good, so they run out faster than they should.

Would these changes in voltage and such result in any damage to the electronic device that you use them for? Just curious...

 

[Scrounger]

If anything they might malfunction, but no permanent damage would be expected. Like undervolting a cpu the current will decrease but you might lose stability if you go too far. I wouldn't expect any problems at all, really.
