We found at a aisle end this morning lots of duracell batteries various sorts at various reduced to clear prices.

Also a pack of 4 rechargable AAA Uniross Ni-MH 600mAH batteries reduced to £1.86. I know that soemone is going to say that they found AAA rechargables at the pound shop but apart from that is that a good price for them? And if so should I run out and get a few spare packs!

Can someone explain what the 600mAh and the Ni-MH mean? And how often will they recharge?

We use them in our spin brushes so someone is always needing triple A batteries in our house.

    That's a very fair price for NiMH AAAs although 600MAh is not the highest capacity you can get. They should be fine to recharge 500+ times.

    Great, they are only for toothbrushes and far better than paying 79p for throw away betterys
