Hi, I am from Malaysia.
This June I will be in Australia Northern Territory.
It is quite difficult for me to bring so many batteries from Malaysia.
May I know what is the price of battery?
The battery type I am looking for is as below:

1) 12V-7.2AH sealed lead battery (black cube)
2) D-size 1.5V battery
3) AA 1.5V battery
4) CR AA 3V Lithium battery

Thank you very much.

1. and 4. Check out the price on the Jaycar website www.jaycar.com.au
They have a branch in Darwin and will deliver
2. and 3. These batteries are cheapest at the supermarkets in just about
every town in Australia

depends how many you buy and what type as there are a heaps to choose from.

Cheap cheap ones as little as a few dollars, high end energiser and Duracell 10-15 dollars for a packet of 4.

The CR batteries 3-5 dollars, but you should be able to bring all but the SLA batteries in your checked in luggage. I sure as hell did when i travelled though Malaysia.

bmitchell82,

You mean you brought a SLA battery to Malaysia and they not allow you to check in as check-in luggage?

I much prefer to use the cheapest Alkaline "D" & "AA" size batteries I can find.
Usually available at the local super market, eg; Woolworths/Coles/Aldi etc.

If there's a Bunnings anywhere local, then they might have "AA" "Varta" brand (originally German, but these are made in China) & come in a pack of 30 for ~$9.00.

Probably got the "D" size as well.

Welcome to Australia.
