    Cheers.

    Have to check this out and compare with what 7dayshop have, price looks good.

    I am after some NiMH batteries having got the kids a Bratz car which eats batteries like know tommorow and the Ms wireless kyb/mouse just got today.

    Always found Maplins to be a good company to deal with unlike a company I dealt with recently. ;)

  • Sorry to sound think (why do I seem to put that at the start of all my posts?!?) but what's the difference between 800 and 2300 mAH??

    2300 store a much larger capacity than the 800 MAH. Ideal for Digital cameras and other domestic appliances that require more power.

    I got some of these last time around, don't forget free postage offer for orders over £35...

    They're a good by BTW, if only for the 2300's

    With the AAA 800's as well, it's a steal..

    Shame about the charge time but I bought 2 sets so not often I'm without now...

    Same here, normal alkaline + Olympus C310Z = 50shots~. With 2300MAH AA on first cycle , 300 shots and not even near empty!! I had to use a torch in the end, so I could cycle them properly for the first few times.

    Cycling (charging and using till empty) 2-3 times at first will bring out the best of the batteries.

    I was only saying last night that we need to invest in some of these.

    I've had to change a few batteries in the christmas toys already.

    Thanks for the post.
