They cost $40 for 4, plus the extra cost for a "C" size charger...at that cost, it was about the same to just buy the lith-ion version of the light. The lith-ion battery is way easier to charge as well. I keep my bike by a power outlet, to charge the battery I just disconnect the wire from the light and plug it into the charger - don't even take the pack off the bike.
aren't there higher capacity Nimh C size batteries out there?

here they are 6000mah that's more than the typical 2650mah AA battery

here's a case to put them in
