Not sure if I'll be any help Mutley but I've picked up packs of rechargable AAA/AA batteries for £1.00-from poundland.

The Poundland rechargeables are only about 800mAh for the AAs, which is pretty rubbish really.

Aldi did some 2,500 mAh (AAs) for about £2.50 I think. Look near the tills.

AAA Ni-mh don't go more than about 1000 mAh atm.

the ones i have seen in poundshop are only 800mA which i think are not worth it.

Do Aldi stock them at this price as normal range or special offers only?

They have them all the time. I don't know what capacity they are though.

Try www.7dayshop.com I've usually found them the cheapest.

Hope that helps.

I used to buy from one or two online retailers like Battery Force but I've found the cheapest is nearly always eBay sellers. You just have to make sure you read their feedback carefully incase they are selling fake brand name batteries.

Uniross are a good reasonably priced brand - Ive had problems with some of the cheap OEM types like GP.

I've been buying the uniross dual ones for a while and they are great. Various places to buy them online.

I've had the ones from Lidl before and they are ok, no more than that, I've had a lot of failures after they are a couple of years old and will stick to the uniross dual ones from now on.
Also make sure you get a decent charger, not just a run of the mill one, makes a big difference to battery life.

I bought batteries from Aldi £2.79 per pack of 4 of AA or AAA or 1xpp3. They told me its a regular line so need to rush to buy.
