> Answer: There are batteries available along the trail at the food commissaries (such as Phillips Junction, etc.) Prices are reasonable, too. And for what it's worth, they sell one-time-use cameras there and many other replacement gear items, and there's a mail drop box as well.
BUT...it's not a 100% guarantee that the backcountry trading posts will be fully stocked. Quite often, for one reason or another, they run out of high-demand items, such as batteries. I know that's a big complaint of many people - I wouldn't think that it's that hard to keep items in stock. It's not like I could just go across the street to another store... Just be warned, and plan ahead and bring a small supply of extra batteries with you - just in case.
