    Dont forget the postage charge of £4 though.

    Boots had similar not so long ago for 4.99 didn't they?

    Probably worth ordering THIS at the same time.prod_88787.jpg

    I bought a similar one from them, principally for my camera which uses 4 x AA batteries (bought 8 batteries). The charging time is round about an hour and the batteries take 50% to 100% more pictures than normal AA batteries. Over the last couple of years its been well worth the price.

    Don't believe the Ah ratings on the batteries - they are exaggerated to varying extents by the different vendors.
    Time is an illusion - lunch time doubly so.

    The charger looks like a rebranded Vanson one. I have one of these, and it works well. The only problem is that the mains adaptor is a traditional heavy "wall wart", so not as portable as it might be.

    I note form the ad:

    "...Charging times will vary from 1 hour to nearly 4 hours according to the type and the specification of batteries used..."
    The higher times will be for 4 X 2500+ MAHr - so this charger is only really "ultra-fast" for single or smaller capacity set batteries.
    Nice to see that it has delta V charging with a backup timer

    Another one similar is this uniross sprint 90 from maplin £14.99, advantage of this one is that it is dual voltage:
