Used these for the past 4-5 years and touch wood they've not let me down - don't know if they still sell em though,all the best, Baj.

You can get 2900 NiMh AA batteries and charger fairly reasonable but I think the ones she mentioned were even better. The name escapes me!

Save you the time searching. ENELOOP The lastest and the bees knees. They last 4 times longer on each charge than ordinary re-charables and last for years longer as well. They don't have this memory problem either, you can just 'Top them up' with no loss of life. If you have a look on AMAZON in the Electronics & Photo section for Eneloop Batteries you'll find theres a company called ' i Cell Media ' selling them at knock down prices. 4 Batteries plus Charger £10.49 or 4 Batteries £6.79. or 8 Batteries £11.99 POST FREE. Hope this helps, Val Title: Re: rechargeble batteries Post by: DEADLOCK on July 17, 2011, 08:38:13 PM suberb val thanks

Good company to buy off, great price and really fast delivery. He says you can charge them in any charger as long as it's suitable for NMH batteries so you might not need the charger pack.
