Compare within one size. Price per battery says nothing across sizes: an AA and a CR2032 are different products. Size, pack count, chemistry and capacity are read from the listing title and can be wrong, so confirm them on the product page.

Frequently asked questions
Why do bigger packs usually cost less per battery?
Sellers often price larger multipacks lower per battery, and you can check that for D rechargeables on this page: compare the price per battery across pack counts in the table and in the pack-count chart. It does not hold for every listing, so rely on the figure rather than the pack size alone, and remember that a big pack means buying more batteries than you may use soon.
What does mAh mean on a rechargeable battery?
mAh is milliamp-hours, the charge a cell is rated to deliver. Within the same size, a higher stated mAh means a larger stated capacity. Only some listings state it, and the number is what the seller wrote, so confirm it on the product page. The mAh column and filter on this page use the stated figure.
How much do rechargeable D batteries cost per battery?
Across 36 listings, the middle 80% range from about $4.05 to $8.50 per battery, with a median of $5.00. Prices change often, so check the current price on Amazon before you buy.
Which of the rechargeable D batteries has the lowest price per battery right now?
At the last update it is Rechargeable Lithium D Batteries with 4 in 1 USB-C Charge Cable, 4 Pack D Cel..., at $1.02 per battery. The cheapest listing is not always the best buy: compare the chemistry, the pack count and the seller before you order.
