rechargeable batteries

Anyone know where I can get some decent rechargeable batteries from and a charger size 'C' ones.

They are for my daughters swing and the duracell ones are just too expensive, we go through 4 every a week and half!!!

    I always deal with the 7dayshop - excellent value for money. If you have a look here they have the C batteries on a bit of an offer. If you look down at the bottom of that page they have a "universal" charger that looks quite neat.

    Try ScrewFix of all places. I've regularly bought re-chargeable batteries at different sizes. all work really well.

    They won't last as long as Duracells, so you'll be forever charging them.. Why does a swing need batteries?

    You can get alkaline (i.e. Duracell/Ever ready) chargers (which do nicads/nimh as well), QVC sell them. I've had mixed results with them, as they work best as a top up, and don't work very well if you leave the battery to drain down fully.
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
