Uniross charger with 4AA and 4AAA batteries - £11.99 free P&P

I bought the AAA and AA (along with their charger) from 7dayshop and been in my cupboard for a month or 2 and have gone flat. They are the Ni-Mh type as well. I thought this wasnt supposed to happen with this type?

Yeah, they discharge slowly over time, thats why they arent recommended for things like remote controls.

Nothing to stop you using them in a remote but as you have found you'll just have to charge them up every month.

But what size batteries are they? I can't make it out on the advert but they aren't 2300, looks like they could be 800!

If its the Uniross X-Press 300 charger then its available in 3 retail packaged versions:

- with 4 AA 2300mAh
- with 4 AA 1300mAh
- with 4 AAA 900mAh

Anyway, I'm happy with the Directfoto deal of £11.99 for the X-Press 300 charger, 4 AA 2300mAH, 4 AAA 900mAH, C cell converters and D cell converters

These are already in my local Netto.

Just blown up the Netto photo and it definitely looks like the 900mAh AAA's which, for £4.99 is excellent considering that the batteries alone could set you back £5.99 elsewhere. All you need to do now is to find a bargain 4 pack of 2300mAh AA's and you could equal the Directfoto deal!

Just had a check at the Directfoto site and the 4x2300mAh AA's are £6.99 which includes free P&P.

So, with the Netto deal you end up matching the original Directfoto offer.

Matter of fact, you save a penny! :j
