Possible misprice. Maplin are advertising Uniross 4 2300mAh or 4 2500mAh AA batteries for £7.49 (half price). The pack of 4 2700mAh are also coming up at 7.49 in store - grab 'em while they're hot! :D

    Sorry for being thick, but can you use any NiMH charger for these batteries? I have a GP Powerbank charger but I'm not sure if I can use this for other brands of NiMH batteries?

    Not true, there is nothing at all wrong with the cheap Aldi or Lidl ones, especially as their products have passed German selling regulations on quality.

    Having had several different brands of batteries, I cant say I agree. Ive had both cheepys that have performed just as well as top brand ones, and some that dont, but given the price difference, I'll take my chances.

    I cant see why not. All NiMH chargers are much the same.
