Have it already; nice piece of kit; left it on one night woke in the morning raging that I'd prob drained the battery; lo and behold it must've went into sleep mode after inactivity!buying another as a present

Yep check out the thread I posted about the cheap led torch; pretty much identical to deal extreme but you are better rewarded with tmart points which give you money off next order; so I prefer them at the moment

any issues with customs ????

I bought an energiser battery charger earlier on amazon.
Would those batteries be trustworthy or likely to disappoint - any experience?

I've never been stung anyway; they always put low values on the items

Dunno; bought Chinese before and they were on par with anything else; as for these ones specifically I'll tell you in a month

bought few small items from there few months back , items never arrived, had to pen paypal dispute to get money back as their customer service is nightmare. just sharing my experience.

My experience is excellent with tmart, only ordered 2 things, both arrived well packaged in well under 3 weeks which is about a month better than DX in my recent dealings! Always going to be a bit iffy ordering from China though as previous post suggests.

Personally I wouldnt buy any of those batteries. Whatever about the button cell type (most of those are fine in fairness) I wouldnt touch the AA or AAA type.

Great experience with them!

I ordered from them before Christmas and everything arrived on time, you have to give them 3 weeks for delivery, sometimes stuff comes before the 3 weeks but it will come eventually within the 3 weeks. Deal Extreme are another similar site worth checking out and I have had good experiences with them before also.

Ordered from them in November, from a link on BA. Have yet to receive three quarters of my order, tracking details given do not work, emails don't make any sense. I would not use them again. Only blessing is, they are so cheap that I didn't lose much.

2 Rechargeable batteries for 1.49 in deals.

No idea why someone would go all the way to China for a battery.

I really doubt those cheap looking batteries are what they say they are.


Maplins have a near constant sale on rechargables - I've bought the 2400mAh batteries for xboxes - and very pleased with them - in an Xbox - they last a very long time - weeks.

Currently
2000mAh £12.99 for 12 batteries
or
2400mAh £12.99 for 8 batteries (noticably slightly heavier batteries)



Noticeable downside is the Positive is a little shorter than regular AA batteries and can be a bit fiddly to fit so into some devices - but I think this is normal with rechargeable batteries.

Similar here except I paid extra selecting the UK warehouse option. They then decided to ship from China anyway and their "support" is useless and barely understands English. Currently dealing with Paypal to get a refund.

Always had great experience with them, have found dealextreme to be dodgier

Do you know if they stock them instore or is it online only?
I can check tomorrow anyway

Always have lots in stock instore (but only half price every second month or so)

- I use the charger from Aldi they sell them often- its an intelligent thing - about a tenner I think - it discharges the batteries before charging them - so you get a longer run out of the battery charge - and lets you know if a battery is gone past charging anymore (happens unfortunately if you leave them discharged in a some forgotten camera or whatever too long)


- also have a cool charger that actually recharges Alkaline (non-rechargeable) batteries - Duracell etc - Manufactured by Saitek - worth looking out for if you use a lot of batteries.

I saw those - but they very low in capacity unfortunately - something like 800mAh.

Wouldn't power much for any length of time - they use these low capacity batteries in garden solar lights where they only need glow one led bulb for a few hours.

Sorry this is slightly OT but when the spec for tablets says it supports a TF card is that a micro sd card like this one for example or even the one going cheap in some Tescos stores today as seen in the pic here?

Yep, same card, just a different name for it. Trans Flash is same thing as micro sd card.

Thanks guys. Appreciated

Got an email saying my mouse has shipped so hopefully all goes well!

Thanks OP, I ordered a load of little gadgets.

I wasn't happy with DealExtreme anymore.

Batteries are almost half that price again if you order from the American warehouse. €4.20 vs €2.64 - Ordered 4 lots, thanks

Buuutt - they are FAKE - complete junk - you may not even be able charge them once.

AFAIK There is no such thing as 3500mAh AA batteries - if you look closely you will see the label is more like 350.0 mAh batteries.

Tested here (appear to be about 350mAh):

Yeah, gotta be careful with the likes of batteries. 3500mAh does sound a bit miraculous for AA batteries. No doubt tmart and DX have great stuff on it, you just have to be careful and remind yourself how they're making a tidy profit despite the slashed prices.

Bah, win some lose some, lesson learnt. Was expecting half the capacity, 1/10 is abysmal though

Got some other things anyway, will see in a few weeks I guess.

Thanks for the heads up

A month or so in my case. But in fairness others got the flashlight a bit faster. Allow up to 6 weeks at the outset before contacting for a refund.
