It's often the cheapest.  Whether that's "best" depends on your definition 
of "best."  ;-)

Places like Sam's Club and Costco buy batteries in batches from the lowest 
bidder.  What you get will thus vary in manufacturer, quality, and 
freshness.  If you got fresh, high-capacity, long-lasting batteries last 
time, you may get stale, low-capacity, short-lived ones this time (and 
vice 
versa).  

However, this is probably less critical for the ET than for some 
applications (such as road EVs) because the ET is not a high battery 
stress 
application.
