Rechargable Batteries

Draco

Anyone know where I can get a set of Rechargable Batteries cheap? I've haven't seen any in the shops for ages and I'm not turfing out £10 for a new set everytime I run down the batteries in my MindStorms lego.

Just outta interest, where'd you get your mindstorms?

I got it from the online lego shop, but it's been closed down until the summer. Game have it for £170 if you want to get a set. But be warned...you'll end up spending all you money on lego...

Ahh lego - used to love it, in fact I have 2 extreamly large containers of it, i means those BIG BIG toy bins, over flowing with it. Its a calculated 4 grands worth, but no instructions to build anything - have a pile of motors and switches etc. Might get back into it cos it was great. I built some great things in my day.

£20 for ni-cds seems a bit steep. Go for Nickel metal Hydride. they rock, a little more expensive but much more current tolerance and a whole load faster to charge. You vcould get a dual charger and enough batteries for a mindstorms kit for 25 no bother.... (in maplin)
