good price for rechargeable batteries, especially when considering their capacity (2300 for the AAs) and the guarantee for 1000charges and 3 years, - Duracell 2400s are for 300 charges / 2 years only, and are 9.99 for 4.
perfect to prepare for the Xmas morning madness :-(
Pre-charged and ready-to-useChoose from:

- 4 x AAA, 950 mAh
- 2 x C, 4000 mAh
- 2 x D, 4500 mAh
- 1 x 9V block, 200 mAh
as always with lidl, rush in Thursday morning!
Edit - Typo on AA capacity.

can anybody tell me would a cycle lamp with 3 AAA batteries at 950 mAh give more power and a longer lasting light than 1 x AA, 2300 mAh
i am no electrician but 3 times 950adds up up to 2850 however maybe other factors come into play

Hi.
There are many other factors that will effect your performance.
a single aa battery will be 1.2 Volts, 3 aaa will be 3.6 volts. more voltage typically means more available power, but power doesn't necessarily mean more light.
if your looking at a rear light, I'd go for a 2or 3xAaa rear , something like the smart lunar 2, or wilkos knock off version.

mAh is a measure of how long they last, not how much current or voltage they provide.
3 rechargable AAA batteries will give 3.6v approx. which should result in a brighter light than the 1.2v a AA rechargable battery would give; but that's also up to the type of LED in the lamp. Not all LEDs are equal.
Lidl's batteries or half a ml bigger than all other brands & can cause damage to you product , ie radio if you have to bang on a surface to remove ,its spoken of in other threads

i had no idea of that, will go and look for some details.I can only guess someone forgot to include the battery label in the dimensions, have seen that before.

Aldi's are the same.

Couple of ml bigger? Surely you mean mm?

Since the negative terminal is nearly always a spring I doubt it would cause an issue in most products. Half a mm is nothing. I have a couple of torches that use 38650 3.7v Li-ion batteries and those things can vary by 2 or 3mm from brand to brand due to the protection circuits..
I have found these Tronic batteries to be very good and reliable. I have about 20 or so around the house.

Most nimh seem on the larger side, the only ones that fit absolutely everything are basic 1900mah eneloops or standard energizer.
It looks like Lidl have changed the packaging, let's hope they haven't changed the cells.

The original sanyo AA eneloops I have are slightly longer than most AAs. I have a Tank007 led torch that couldn't switch off with a Eneloop in it because the Eneloop was long enough to touch the end of the aluminium case with the screwthread switch fully unscrewed, Recyclo fit fine though.

thanks for your interesting and fast response, i need to learn more about this topic, many thanks :smiley:

These are great, and of a higher capacity than most other 'eneloop' equivalents.

It's confirmed folks, the Eneloop C-cell is composed of 4 x AAA cells and the D-cell is composed of 3 x AA cells: :man:

Are these the low self discharge ones?
Kulaak to leelukehope

Given they come ready to use, one would assume they are at least low self discharge batteries rather than stay charged batteries.

I bought 6 Tronics (4000) c cells last year when they were reduced to £1.49/ pack of two but they only seem to last half as long as some uniross (2600) I have had for a couple of years. I use them in irrigation timers which are low demanding and power up 4 times a day. So on that I wouldn't recomend. I will not be buying anymore. If you do want them wait for 2 weeks and buy them when they reduce them. I would rather have decent batteries and forget about them than cheap batteries that wear down quickly. but that is just my preference. :man:

Did you get the Energy eco (i.e. LSD) or the ones in the black packet?
The LSD ones are decent, the others are awful, at least for AAs.
