Just picked up an 8 pack of CR2032 lithium batteries for $2.49 at IKEA. At a little over 30 cents a battery , it's hard to beat that price.

IKEA item 802.911.56 PLATTBOJ.
IKEA brand made in China like most things.

Not sure how good they are.

Anyone have experience with this battery?
 
I'm using them. So far no problems.

I rate them in the same category as the dollar store ones I used to buy so perhaps my expectations are not as high as yours LOL.
 
When I got my first red dot, I bought a couple of 2032s from radio shack (for like, $12 a piece I think) then paid an additional $8 bucks for a three year warrant on the batteries. I thought I had the system beat! I could use a battery up, then exchange it for free over and over again for 3 years. Woo Hoo!

Then I saw them in dollarama, 3 for a buck. Ugh.
 
I buy them off a guy on ebay in ontario. 20 of whichever type you want in multiples of 10 for 5 or 6 bucks shipped. Battery life is superior to the ac delco crap that princess auto sells and very acceptable overall. I've bought a few hundred various batteries from him and never got a bad one. I use his LR44s in my calipers for reloading and barely replace 1 a year. I also use 3 in each of my gun bench lights and get well over a year out of them. For the price, volume and convenience I don't waste my time buying batteries anywhere else. I had a keyfob that ate 3 CR2016s a month then put the ebay batteries in and they were still working good 3 years later when I sold the truck.
 
My LGS sells Energizer ones for $2.99/ea. A little more expensive but they are good batteries, not the no name crap that dies quickly and freezes easily.
 
I use the sony brand i get on Amazon. 20 for $12.50. i have found they last much longer than the dollar store ones and about the same as energizer
