Uniross Battery Charger Ans 2 x AA Rechargeable Batteries £2.99 Delivered

marleyd

Thank you waptext - excellent find! I've just ordered a couple for my kids so they can stop hogging mine!:T


Oh and "Well Said" to PJB9000! There are far too many people on these forums who make people reluctant to post due to the possibility of being "attacked" by a fellow poster.

We are all here for the same reason, and it doesn't matter where the deal was sourced. Waptext just posted the deal - how do you know if they got it from somewhere else, or if they just found it themselves whilst browsing for a charger? Do you spend all day flitting between the two forum sites looking for duplications so that you can just accuse people of bad NETTY QUETT?

Grrrrr :mad:

Thanks OP

I think unless you have seen it on another thread on this site (maybe in the wrong place) then you shouldn't have to say what the source is, you've been good enough to pass it on to us when you could have just got the offer yourself and not bothered

People (like you) that have a desire to increase the number of thanks that they receive, and feel that if they mentioned that it had been "borrowed" from another forum then they may not receive as many clicks of the thanks button.

If I find a deal that helps, I thank the poster, irrespective of where it came from. Even if they found it on another site, they've gone to the trouble to post it. Do people really just try to collect "thanks" just for the sake of it? I only use 'thanks' as a guide to see whether what I've posted has been useful or not, so I can try to post things which ARE useful.

Let's not forget that public sites are just that - when people post they know they're putting something on the web for the whole world to read, not to limit the information to a certain set of people.

Thanks to op for posting but I was just about to go for this but realised there is nothing X-press about this charger, read the specs and it takes 19hrs or approx 10 hrs for only 2 batteries to charge- as detailed below


Details

This Uniross compact battery charger is specifically designed with high drain devices such as digital cameras in mind and will charge 2x 2300mah batteries in approximately 19hr.

The Uniross X-Press Mini Compact Charger is a compact, pocket size charger that includes 2 x AA 2100mAh Uniross ultra high capacity batteries.
Specification

- Average 10 hour charge time
- Charges AAA & AA size batteries
- A compact, pocket size charger
- Includes 2 x 2100mAh Ni-MH AA's
- Compact design for 2 batteries


This seems a better option at the same price, comes with AAA's tho and will charge both AA and AAA'S like the above but in a maximum of 4 hours!

Funky Feet - the one you posted the link to is supplied with 900mAh batteries, the original one is 2300mAh which will last longer in the device you add them to before you need to recharge them, and also remember rechargeable batteries are normally good for a few hundred charges, so overall the first one is more suitable for high drain devices, but the secon one is a good deal for batteries for the remote control, they can be recharged quickly then re-used.

I ordered the first one, we ised to have a 4 battery charger, and have rechargeables for most things - bought them cheap in Tesco a couple of years ago

Natbag

10 hours is about what our charger takes if the batteries are completely flat, but then they last a long time even in devices that drain power like digital cameras, etc. And 10 hours is only overnight every so often. It might sound a lot but it isn't.
Like ailuro2 says, the 900 are better for low-drain devices like remote controls but for things like digital cameras etc you'd be better with 2100 or 2300 or higher.

I also saw how long it takes to recharge them - very slow. Does it then switch to trickle charge when they're full? I've a Phillips travel charger that charges most battery sizes in about an hour or so, was more expensive though. You pays your money, you takes your choice.

And yet despite all your views, thoughts and principles, you're here in this thread aren't you, frightened to death that you might have missed out on a bargain if you hadn't opened it.

Visiting this part of the forum used to cost me a fortune actually, until I realised that it isn't a bargain unless you actually need it, so I cut out virtually all Grabbits, along with eBay and most other monthly revenue drains of the same ilk (except the kids). Thanks to MSE and their Budget Planner for helping me notice that one! I have been checking Grabbit recently because our TV died, and we want an LCD or plasma TV, hence my interest in the thread about the Sony KDL-32V4000:

People like you make me sick. I'm grateful to the original poster, even if you aren't. Why don't you do yourself and people like me a favour and keep your views to yourself. We aren't all as in the know or genned up as you are.

Actually you are more genned up than you were thanks to me, because you know where the post was copied and pasted from, so if you are smart you will be checking HUKD for yourself, rather than waiting for waptext to copy and paste it for you. My intention is not to offend people, only to keep them fully informed.

I frequent and post on a number of messageboards and I can honestly say posters like you make me think twice before I post anything on here. You really do remind me of the expression "pc gone mad". It shouldn't be like that on here - we all want a bargain don't we, and should be allowed to post about one if we find them without criticism or ridicule.

I didn't abuse waptext, I just pointed out where the post had been "borrowed" from. I certainly understand why people on Grabbit love waptext, he/she regularly takes posts from other places (including the MSE freebies forum) and posts them here. Even though you are not supposed post freebies in Grabbit, so the mods had to move it to Freebies and merge it with the post that presumably it was copied from in the first place. However, I could also understand if the people at the places that he was taking them from were less than pleased. I don't know if you've heard of "the MSE effect", but it was mentioned in this thread:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1329065
Essentially, once something is posted on MSE it disappears much quicker. Some people don't like their posts being taken and posted on MSE, and most sites assert copyright over posts in their forum, although I'm not sure how you can assert copyright over a bargain! :rotfl:

I wonder just how much you've benefited from this site in the past - maybe you ought to think about that before expressing your elitist and draconian viewpoints!!!! :mad:

I don't really see me saying "As usual, another one that you have taken from HUKD and "forgotten" to mention the source..." as being elitist or draconian.There have been lots of threads that waptext has "borrowed", and all I have done is point out that they were "borrowed". No big deal, as far as I'm concerned.

Next time I find a bargain I might just keep it to myself instead of sharing it with people like you.

There is a difference between "finding a bargain" and copying and pasting posts from other forums.

Yes, in my opinion waptext would still receive just as many thanks if he/she acknowledged the source, and equally importantly it should increase traffic to the source site, so at least they receive SOME benefit from their thread being hijacked and the bargain disappearing even quicker.

There definitely are some people that really care about how many times the thanks button is pressed. Just look at how many members put signatures saying things like "If you like what I put, press the thanks button"!

Apologies for the long post, but in conclusion I will continue to report spam, to report affiliate links where I am certain it IS an affiliate link (unless posted on the referrals board), and to mention the source of deals here if the OP doesn't acknowledge it and I know where it came from. If that offends people, I am sorry.
