$300.00 oil change?

Get a strip of them on Amazon. Cost you way less than a buck a pop. You can swap out a battery in less than 30 seconds once you get the knack down. Don't forget wiper blades - dealer usually swaps those out as part of their primo service as well. Cost you about $15 a set (rubber inserts only).

I checked on my past order, and it was through Amazon, 5 Energizers CR1632, for 4.92 - less than a buck a battery for the remote fob.

Fresh? Unused ones last for 8 years according to manufacturer. Regular AA/AAA go for 10 years. Here's link on the Energizer 1632s:

Reasonable? Yeah, sure. Convenient? Not so much compared to pulling new ones off a sheet of them once a year at the same time you change the batts in your smoke detectors.

Sorry, it all makes complete sense now. It's "more convenient for [you]" to have to go out every year or two and buy new batteries one at a time than to buy a sheet of them ONCE at lower unit cost and simply replace them every year or two from your supply.
Help me out here - where does the "convenience" you claim come in? How is it more time-efficient or more cost-effective to purchase something every year or two rather than in bulk once? Perhaps my tired, old dictionary definition of "convenience" is simply incongruent with your new, personally-defined one. In that case, it seems we are not speaking the same language and meaningful communication is at an end, no?
