May as well ask on here rather than starting a new thread.

I bought a panasonic charger with batteries a while back, can I only use panasonic batteries or can I buy other batteries?

Quite strange about Panasonic - the instructions that came with the Panasonic portable cd player I bought said that the supplied power unit would also recharge Panasonic rechargeable batteries if they were installed, and it does, but no other make of rechargeables.

Just battled my way through a bunch of surprisingly feisty, elbow-charging, bargain-hunting pensioners at the Lancaster branch and bagged me a few packs.

They're NiMh batteries, as follows:

AAA - 750 mAh (4 pack)
AA - 2100 mAh (4 pack)
C - 3500 mAh (2 pack)
D - 3500 mAh (2 pack)
9v - 200 mAh (single)

They're also doing the universal chargers that can handle all the above sizes for £3.99.

Good deal, imho!!

Not quite so nuch elbow-charging at Ilkeston this morning, but everybody was heading for the batteries.

Girl on checkout wondered why we needed so many batteries!

Still quite a few there, when we left.

loads left in sutton-in -ashfield store a couple of hours ago. Not many people going for them so I am sure there will be plenty tomorrow and later in week.

I saw AA,AAA,C & D and 9V

Asda sell recharger with 4 AA NI MH batteries (2100 mAmps) for £7-97. Dont think the charger does AAA and it was a some foreign brand. Need to check again when back in store.

WARNING!......I am not saying this will happen to anyone else but.......

After buying 4 lots of rechargeables today from Aldi and being very happy with it, on the last set to charge my charger stopped working :mad:, it had started to charge but then after a few minutes gave up the ghost. Thing is we are not talking cheap charger here, this is a Ansmann Digispeed4 which cost me over £50 :mad::mad:. It could be that the thing had just had enough with four lots in a row, but as you would expect when you pay that much for a charger you get a quality item and it has never let me down before. If anyone else has this problem though I would be interested to know, as I am sure would Aldi

The important bit is not so much Ni-Cad or Ni Mh, but actually how many Amp hours the batteries are able to deliver. Usually says somthing like 2100mAh on the battery side. Maplin have a pack of four 2500mAh batteries at half price for £7.99 at the moment!

Like anything you get what you pay for!

7.99 - well expensive.....i buy mine on ebay.....such as from vapextech

16 x 2700 AA for 18.00 delivered, not as heap as the lidl ones, but I bet the batteries arent in the shops!!

I bought some from Lidl the last time they had them and they exploded. Trading Standards have asked me to send one off to Lidl for testing.
