Only a good deal if you don't have a clue about batteries.

Like it has been posted many a time in other deals, near all alkaline batteries perform the same, so very little difference from the pack of 8 you can buy from Wilko for less than a quid. There is a chart flying around which pretty much proves this.

Seriously guys just go to poundland, they have 8 AA or AAA Kodak Xtralife for £1. Great batteries that last ages and are far better value for money. They also have all other sizes too in £1 packs.

....queues of horny females outside PC world tomorrow morning :laughing:

Just picked mine up, no problems at all :smiley:

Should this not be expired?

In fact I don't think it actually ever worked!

Just picked up 10 sets at £20.

They only had 7 packs of the Ultras in Star Wars packaging, so just got 3 packs of normal to make up the 10. Can't really complain, still a steal.

Thanks OP!

Ordered 3 sets, as did other customers, but store (Aberystwyth) not honouring the BOGOF despite what it says on the order form. Complete waste of time, as it took them over half an hour to find this out for me - very poor customer relations!

Sorry meant to say picked up... Not linked up.

Just been into the ealing London store, and linked up 2 lots, so 32 batteries for £8. No hassle at all. Thanks op.

Did a click and collect..... Had a phone call saying this is an error and they cannot honour this deal!

Just paid £4.98 in Home Bargains for 16 Duracell which I thought was cheap!

I would have expected cake and party poppers at the very least :stuck_out_tongue:

Trying to buy on internet but clicking on the item is not working for me.

Never had any problems with poundland alkaline batteries, whether they be Kodak, polaroid, panasonic or whatever. Avoid the zinc chloride ones except maybe in kids led light type toys, anything with a motor will struggle. Alkaline batteries are essentially pretty much the same. Alkaline batteries are not that suitable for digital cameras though, good rechargeable NiMH have more power so should last longer between charges anyway, or if you want disposable ones go with lithium ones, though they are expensive.

We hi-fived actually :smile:

Staff very nice and congratulated me on my bargain purchase!

just been to collect my order of 14 packs for £28, they only had 6 packs of my order available but charged me £12 so I was happy with that.

Ordered! Cheers OP.

You must have the country's most expensive 99p shop!

(and no, they're not).

theres no way you can buy 20 duracell let alone ultra for 99p from anywhere

20 for £1 at my local 99p shop!

edit: not duracell, but i don't care as much better value :stuck_out_tongue:

You don't know which batteries I bought, so why say you do. I only buy Duracell or Energizer now, because they are always going to work with whatever device I use them for...

Duracell or Energizer work fine mate...

You need some real powerful batts for digital cameras. Lithium if possible for long life otherwise stock a load of rechargeables.

The crap ones are zinc chloride. The good ones are Alkaline. There's nothing to justify spending twice the price on these over the Poundland Kodak Xtralife Alkaline pack of 8. The Duracell won't last twice as long, they use the same battery technology.
You bought the crap zinc chloride ones, not the Kodak Xtralife Alkaline.

It's unfortunate that when you mention Poundland batteries people can only recall that pack of 16 zinc chloride batteries that lasted 10 seconds and leaked. They clearly don't understand the distinction between those and Alkaline.

Dead on 0900hrs this morning I was there waiting at PCW Worcester, got to Click and Collect area, just two packs per each of my two orders, thought maybe run out.

Looked over loads on the shelf, so asked can they fulfill BOTH my orders please fully!

Picked up 10 packs for £20, will keep me going until next Xmas. Even hit the Happy button near the till, which you rarely are coming out of there! Hahaha

Have some heat OP :smiley:

25p per battery is a good price for the Ultra power ones, and anyone mentioning the other cheap brands at B&M or poundland well they are ok for a few months in a remote but are providing a very low voltage within an hour in demanding devices.

Seriously guys just go to poundland, they have 8 AA or AAA Kodak Xtralife for £1. Great batteries that last ages and are far better value for money. They also have all other sizes too in £1 packs.

Not sure if I will make it to PC World, but voting hot, as this is a good deal. Hope I can get over there before the offer ends...:sunglasses:

Makes me laugh, how can 8 batteries can been £15.98 !

Sadly I can't find any in depth manufacturer tests on these (Kodak) but alas to say they are not so powerful. However for the price you can purchase more.

There now phoning customers claiming computer glitch and they are out of stock even after you reserve it :@

Hot from me. Reserved in King's Lynn.

The best deal is at Savers stores 8+8 Energizer ultra+ for £3.00

Reserved quite a few yesterday morning. Went to collect last night. They never bothered putting them behind a counter (they have a habit of doing this I've noticed, especially for stuff they think they've loads of) and they spent half an hour looking for some. I told them to give up. Also tried to buy a monitor which showed as 7 in stock but they couldn't find any of them either.

Their reserve and stock system is pathetic. Such a waste of time.

Also the Costco Batteries, many reviewers think they are actually rebranded duracell due to the performance and physical design.. at a fraction of the usual cost.

Sacked off currys yesterday after the Liverpool branch didnt honour the deal (more out of incompetence than begrudging me a good deal). After some research I went to Costco and bought 48 Kirkland AA's for around £10.80, which apparently performance the same as the duracells.

Anyone have the link for AAA batteries that are on offer, I can't seem to get the. At this price

Currys honoured the deal for me in Bedford. They did show me the email that was sent to all the stores pointing out there was an error on the website, which gave the wrong price.

Ultra power ones too - awesome!

Did the reserve and collect and store refused to honour the deal. even tried to tell me they were out of stock even though they had them on the counter at £7.95 buy one get one free. I was told they were different batteries. I pointed out they were exactly the same and showed them the offer on the website and.still refused!!

The kodak xtralife are very good batteries, theres nothing in it really between the duracell posted here and the xtralife. I use them and havent had a single issue, last just as long as duracells I've bought but at a much more reasonable price. I do agree the cheapo zinc crap you can get at the pound shops are terrible but the xtralife are damn good alkaline batteries.

Great deal OP & yes, Jeffster do indeed rule
\m/ (><) \m/

Thanks for your post

I reserved aa and aaa batteries from currys this morning. Got 2 packs of 8 each for £8!! Guy on cash desk couldn't believe it but was honoured!!!Thanks

Already posted and collected today.
Cracking price.

Reserved at 8am this morning. Just had a phone call to say they're sorry none in stock :disappointed: So much for the reservation system :disappointed:

cheers fella, reserved a few packs at my local.

Hi already posted earlier this morning

Surprisingly lots of stock available. 25p a battery is very good!! Heat OP!

never been a problem getting cheap duracel off eBay, and wouldn't gladly spend a few quid more to avoid putting a foot inside PC World.

Reserved 32 to collect. I'm passing anyway so it's worth a try

nope difference is this is showing at £4 this morning it wasn't working

....queues of horny females outside PC world tomorrow morning :laughing:
