Mike Richardson seems to only sell this package to ppcmla folks. Perhaps a PPCMLA dude could get Mike Richardson to sell this package to 68kmla folks as well?

Here is a way to get these 3.6V 1/2 AA PRAM batteries at a better price; 10 for $26 shipped in the US ($28 worldwide). I have purchased from this lot recently and I can attest to …
