Check date on batteries! just bought a pack date July 19 swizz.

May be too late to chase it up, depending on how close you are to a store/whether you still have the packaging and receipt, but I find Poundland are great at resolving any issues with their products.

That's more a stock rotation/shelf filling staff issue, though.

Edit: Please note my edited comment on the previous page.

I enjoy compiling posts on the Poundland and the OneBelow thread - (of course, threads are open for anyone to contribute) but a PM/comments again and again correcting me about amounts I may have got wrong via Google, or even my recent typo, are they really necessary?

This is an information thread, not a conversation or criticism thread - sometimes I make mistakes. I actually got a bit of a fright when I saw a PM waiting for me.

A mod can delete this if they wish.

That's unusually old stock for Poundland - are you sure that isn't the manufacturing date?

These batteries claim a 10 year life, and I'm pretty sure they weren't even making them in 2009.

Not recommended, though, according to Which, even at that price - they come out as a 'Don't Buy'.

My bad was manufacturing date. (Doh) dont understand which report £1 for alkaline batts is good, what do they recommend?

Depends on the type of use, but Aldi Activ Energy are well recommended.

Which are nearly twice the price.

Really? At 8 for £1.99, with better battery life?

If Aldi wasn't a family-owned business, I'd be suspicious that you have a vested interest in it. Such is the vigour of your conviction.

I happen to like the Aldi a lot: I only wish that I had one in reasonable walking distance of me.

Not me this time - though I take your point.

It's Which? making the recommendation!
