    For the deluge of battery guzzling toys in a couple of weeks...
    Aldi/lidl or anywhere else doing any good deal on AAA/AA/9v?

    In fairness its probably about 5 years since I last bought from them but their postage charge then was around £7.50. Good to know they have dropped since. :)

    What you want are the 1 hour fast charge AA and AAA batteries,not he standard rechargable ones that take 4-6 hours to charge back up.Thats if you dont want screaming kids going mental because fireman sams truck wont work anymore.lol

    Avoid the ones from Aldi and Lidl as they they take 6 hours to recharge.

    What you want are two sets of the 4-6 hour ones, then keep one set charged and just swap them out, so the kids don't even have scream for one hour.

    Looks good, it doesn't mention in the description but does it do all three types AA, AAA and 9v? Also is this a weekly offer or are they on general sale all the time?
