Source of solder-tab AA batteries?

    I'm trying to find a source in Cork or anywhere else in Ireland for solder-tab AA batteries. The actual battery I'm trying to replace is a SAFT High Energy Series 1.2 volt, 700 mAh size AA Ni-Cd battery for my Remington shaver. Remington says it costs more to replace the battery than to buy a new shaver, and so they are willing (gee, thanks) to sell me a new shaver for half the new price. I suppose I could also use a newer higher capacity Ni-MH battery, as long as it has solder tabs. Any ideas?

    radionics.ie, maplin.co.uk, and farnell.com have what you're after.

    Many thanks, Longword. I went to the Radionics and Maplin sites and found my battery. I'll probably have my daughter pick the batteries up in Dublin to beat the minimum charges.

    AFAIK Maplin should be opening in Cork (as well as Galway and Limerick) relatively soon - they're expanding a bit, and there's evidence of a shop here in Galway being open, or close to it.

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks, Gadget. I may be going down to Dublin this Monday so maybe I can find the batteries soon. It will be nice to have a Maplin here in Cork.
