These have been good in the past but the new batch are rated at 2400mah (AA) and 900mah (AAA).
The previous years have been 2300mah/950mah

Thanks for your suggestions. I am not on Facebook/Twitter but I have followed up on Trading Standards.
It seems that Citizens Advice now act as the gatekeeper for Trading Standards - you cannot refer a matter directly. However, the chap I spoke to at Citizens Advice took a lot more interest in my findings than either Lidl or Kompernass and was very keen to refer the matter without any encouragement from me. The details are now with Trading Standards and I have been asked to hold on to one pack of the offending batteries.

Best value batteries i have found, i use the AAA in wireless headphones,they last as well in these as the more expensive one's. No failures of the 8 i have in over 2yrs usage.
Getting some AA's hope these new ones are the same quality low discharge type.

Answer: at pound shops, probably. Pound shop items certainly have exceptionally low power capacity.

I've only ever had problems with the older tronic non-LSD cells that were silver and black about 4 years ago. All the others have been fantastic, I think they come out at ~2100 mah when tested and last a decent length of time, can't ask for more really.
They've obviously made some adjustment in the latest ones if they are claiming more capacity but I will test them.
Lidl take things back no problem too.

I bought some identical 2300mah from Lidl a couple of years ago and I still think they were a great buy.
I soldered a couple in a Remington shaver to replace the knackered tagged AA cells that my father had been moaning about, as I didn't want to risk ruining expensive Eneloops. He claimed that it runs faster and so cuts better than when new, two years later he says he's still getting about 3 weeks use out of a full charge, although it does take two days for the Remington's charger to fully charge them.

The new ones are 20g instead of 29g so it's not looking good

decent NIMH have a good weight to them, the very light ones can not deliver the power, better of buying pound shop batteries if you want cheap nasty rechargeables
