The offer is back! £5.99 for 4 AA rechargeable batteries with charger!
They where cheaper 8 months ago, sadly I don't have time machine...
Not a bad price for 1300mAh, I buying a few sets to feed the kids toys!
They are also selling the No Nonsense brand AA, pack of 8 (4+4 free) for £1.67. Orders over £50 are delivered free otherwise it's £5, collection in store is of course free and at least you can check stock!

I got a few of these when they were £2.99 but not used them yet!
Typical Hduk purchase then!

I'd rather have these for £2.99 as well... Can't find 1300mAh for cheaper right now though....

Fair point. What I was trying to say was that I bought them and not used them so can't advise on quality.
I am not one of those that say cold because I bought it cheaper when on offer 2 years ago. :-)

rolstherat - I get that, I don't really want to spend £5.99 on them, but I haven't posted a deal in a while and this qualified!
I reckon I bought them last time round (was it really 2 years ago?! I remember kicking myself for only buying 2 sets!) and have used them a few times in the Xbox controller to keep the kids quiet. They do the job, although I don't recall charging them more than 3 times so far, that's not an endorsement of the ability of the battery to hold charge, rather a reflection on the lack of use I have put them to (at 1300mAh there's not much use in my house for them!)

Fair point. Still good value. I wasn't trying to put it down. Its been a long week.
Home bargains and 7dayshop are doing some OK battery only deals. I posted one the other day and it was kicked out of the park :-)

I purchased 2packs when they were £2.99 also. Have been very good so far.

good for remotes and such like. Would be no good for high drain items.

I assume the usb charger can charge higher capacity batteries (2000mAh) and can plug into a laptop or usb plug...any rough figures on charge time?

how does USB charging compare to socket?

Slow charging, because of the current limitations that can be drawn from a USB socket.
1300mAh Batteries...Usless for most modern applications. Good for garden solar light replacements though.

Bought them and used them for my door bell, not with the hassle as they would die every couple of months

had some of these and they aren't the best, took ages to charge and the batteries are dire, i chucked 3 sets in the bin as they dont hold charge, i'd avoid personally

These are only good value if someone can test them and prove that they are 1300mah and are consistent. Theres a lot of lying when it comes to battery capacity and longevity at the moment and most people aren't going to get the multimeter or whatever out to test. Especially problematic with all the power banks being sold on amazon that people are giving 5 star reviews without knowing anything about batteries. I like screwfix though and have used them for bulbs and ocassional cheap tools and never had a problem.

You need more than just a mulitimeter to test capacity. Multimeter would just check voltages, and mostly you'll get 1.3v
