Does anyone know of where they are selling cheap rechargable batteries and rechargable unit that will do different size batteries. The kids Christmas toys are costing us a fortune in batteries especially the remote control cars!
Thanks in advance

Keep an eye on Aldi and Lidl. They occasionally do rechargables for £1.99 for 4off AA, or other sizes also, and they have the great bonus of being a much higher rating than normal. I know this doesn't help in the short term, but its something to keep a lookout for.0

We use these, sold on Ebay from Hong Kong.
No pronlems with delivery, high capacity batteries so they last longer. The same seller sells chargers, and batteries of all sizes.
