Best Place To Buy Battries?

[PinkSpider]

I went to town today to buy a charger + battries and they where costing about 25 quid :s... is there a place online I can get them cheaper?

Try www.maplin.co.uk

They're quite good for most stuff

Just a quick question, do rechargable batteries tend to last longer than normal ones??

depends on the capacity....but they are A LOT better because you dont have to waste money on buying batteries all the time

Yea im sick of having to buy a pack of cheap battries each week :/

 

[bringoutthegimp]

decent battery charges do cost like 30 quid.....mine did. but its a bad boy. you can pick up cheap ones for like 10 quid in comet/dixons and places like that but they take too long to recharge. This is my one its pretty damn good

I had a look in Dixons today (think I saw that one). Ah well I will just have to wait until I get my EMA (Education Maintenence Allowance) :/

i got a battery charger with 6 1300mAh batteries for a fiver ( it was half price"

For a FLU, you would need a pack of 2000mAh for a decent amount of playing time....I havea 2350mAh pack myself

 

[PinkSpider]

I have a non flu :/

 

[yaustar]

Bascially, the higher the number, the more life you are gonig to get per charge...you can try looking around camera shops as they will have the best of the best but at a price... 4 AAs of 2350mah cost me £10 (no charger)

I have a FLU, wot batteries shud i get to get a respective run time out of them, and roughly how long will they last??

 

[CABBAGES]

goto ebay i got one there thinks its the same asthis ONE think its about the same price to and they last for ages and its a flu ive got to. I noticed a huge difference after i got this.

If you are looking for non-rechargeable ones I must recomment IKEA, at least if you live in sweden they have cheap as batteries that have stood up quite well to the competition in a few reviews.

A 10-pack is 20SEK which is about $2 (when the dollar was strong... about $3 now)

Yes, even the crappest rechargeable batteries hold more charge than even the highest power alkaline battery.

Take a look on this page for a comparison between the various brands. Look at the very bottom of the list to see the relative alkaline capacities.
