    It is helpful if you can say which store you have tried, i'm guessing there is more than one Asda in Edinburgh.

    i am from edinburgh and there are 2 stores,but the most popular one would be at New craighall and i think thats the first one that would spring to mind for most people in edinburgh.

    I put in a pair of these and a pair of ordinary MiMH rechargeables in a pair of Wii remotes 3 weeks ago. Both pairs have same power rating. I have changed the ordinary batteries three times now, but still on the original Hybrio.
    The failure of the Hybrio to sell is all down to poor marketing.

    I don't think that is anything to do with the hybrio technology per se - after all, ordinary NiMH cells do not self-discharge hugely in three weeks. I think it's more about the degree of exaggeration incorporated into the different claims for capacity...

    Yes, but those are not hybrid batteries.
