FWIW, during the east coast blackout a couple years ago, all flashlights, AA cells, and D cells were sold out from stores almost immediately.


The lesson I take away from all of this is to make sure you have enough spares of WHATEVER type of batteries you need on hand so you don't need to rely on stores.

Personally, I like AA lithiums and 123A lithiums for this purpose since they store well.
