Environmental impact included? In the long run those single-use things must cost a fortune to dispose of properly...

Ansmann maxE are equivalent to the Eneloops. I have been using these low discharge rate batts (they accept a conventional NiMH charger) for a couple of years - excellent compared to standard old type NiMH ones, they behave better than new Alkalines, yet charge up like new.

All I was doing was to point out that rechargeable batteries are not always cost effective. The name of the site is Money Saving Expert. But feel free to factor in the environmental cost.

It doesn't cost me anything to dispose of dead batteries - I drop them off at Tesco

Also you are not supposed to just throw a broken charger in the bin . You have to dispose of it according to the WEEE regulations
