Lidl Tronic Battery Charger. Good value?

Head_The_Ball

Lidl have a Tronic Professional Rapid Charger for £12.99.

Is this a good deal or can I do better?

I don't need a lot of rechargeable batteries, just a few pairs for a camera, portable radios, a lady shave and a few other items.

I don't need very high capacity either.

Are 4 x Tronic AA 2,300mAh at £2.99 good value?

Thanks

It depends what the power rating is. A higher power rating (measured in Amps) means the batteries will charge faster.

I've no idea about Tronic batteries, but £2.99 for four 2300mAh cells sounds good. I usually go for Eneloop rechargeables as they get good reviews and are supposed to hold their charge better than other brands, but they're over £10 for four!

Allegedly the Amazon basics "made in japan" rechargeables are re-badged earlier generation Eneloops, £22 for 16 AAs. Note these are low discharge type I doubt very much the Lidl ones are and I'd avoid them as they will lose charge very quickly, false economy.

Pre charged, low self discharge. http://www.lidl.co.uk/en/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=38712

Probably ok. If I needed some I would try them. No idea about the charger. A link would help.
