Rechargeable Batteries 4 x AAA Hybrio 800mAh Ni-MH (charge retaining type) £3.99 @ Screwfix

I gave the rest of the rechargeable batteries on their site a once over - and there are no others that seem a good price to save you looking.

great batteries, yet you do need to charge them when you get them. but they do hold their charge for ages.....got a load of AA ones for my wimotes and they are great.

interesting info on from someone who tested these

To be fair they are like mobile phone batteries - and you need to give them about ten charges before they reach their real capacity.

I am buying them for bike lights over summer - as I only need them a couple of days a month - so they should be able to last all summer on one charge.

If your local Asda still has them in stock, then they are £2.99 for the AA and AAA 4-packs. I'm sure it's been posted elsewhere.

My local Asda (Trafford) has a higher price on the tab, but they scan at £2.99.

Nice Find Ibiza Thanks! Been Looking at these and the cheapest I found them was £1 each AAA I need 10 for my walkee talkee's so three packs it is added to my latest screwfix order Voted Hot when I find the Button....

£3.15 last time I bought some at Asda.

The best batteries you can find unless you always drain your batteries in a couple of days.

anyone know where I could find some good C type rechargables, I need like 8 and a charger..

Cheap but good charger anywhere?

Need 4 AA's like this and a charger for my 360 controllers :O

Sob, I wish I saw these earlier. I paid "half price" at Maplin for "ordinary" 4 x Uniross AAA 1000mAh batteries.

Would I need a different charger for these charge retaining batteries? I have a Uniross "Ultra Fast" charger which takes about 3 hours.

You're welcome.

Wandering a bit OT - i was thinking about getting another set of walkie talkies - and the Binatone Terrain 550 s looked a good bet - have you any knowledge of them?

Got these in Asda about a month ago for £2.99. They had both AAA(800mh) and AA(2100mh). It says on the packaging that they can be recharged using any charger.

C and D type batteries have never really been taken as far as AA and AAAs with rechargeables - although its possible to get two with decent capacities for 15 and 20 quid respectively in Maplin with a capacity of about 5000mAh.

All the other C and D types seem to have lower capacities than the recent high charge AAs, and as a result of this normally a battery converter is used to change an AA into the C or D battery. This is basically a big case the shape of the C or D cell that the AA fits inside.

These tend to go for sill prices seeing they are just plastic tubes with a metal contact at one end - but a set with a pretty **** charger and NiCad rechargeables is available for about 8 quid - which you can get quidco on - but I think about four quid postage - so only worth it if you are getting something else.



Its worth mentioning this is only 4 x AA and 4 x AAA - but with 4 x C and 4 x D converters - and a charger.

THIS IS A GOOD BUY FOR THE CONVERTERS - THE BATTERIES ARE Ni-Cd (not NiMH) AND ABOUT A THIRD TO A QUARTER OF THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE CAPACITIES - ALSO THE CHARGER HAS NO OVERCHARGE PROTECTION
