Today there are numerous news reports that the US will be imposing 25% tariffs on over 1000 types of Chinese goods, including some batteries. Below are the batteries subject to such tariffs. Currently they do not include secondary Lithium (Li-ion), but they include some other common batteries that you may use (e.g. primary Lithium, NiCd, lead-acid, etc). If things play out similar to recent events this may quickly lead to a sharp rise in battery prices (e.g. laundry washing machine prices quickly jumped by 17% this spring after similar tariffs). So it might be wise to stock up on such batteries now before the effects of the tariffs kick in.
