    I can't speak for the quality of the Lidl batteries, in the past some of the Tronics brand they sold were not well regarded. Like 2400mAh cells would have less than half the advertised capacity when tested. I don't know if their current cells are better; perhaps they are.

    The Ladda Whites in IKEA we know are rebadged Eneloops (or something very close - made in FDK Japan) so very much a known quantity, you can't go wrong.

    They're a little bit more expensive (AA Ladda Whites are €6.50 for 4) but I would pay the extra personally.

    I'm using both Lidl and Ikea batteries and don't notice any difference. The biggest advantage the Lidl ones have is that I've a Lidl in walking distance yet it costs me €5 in tolls to get to Ikea and since I don't really need stuff from Ikea they end up expensive for a few batteries. Most people have a Lidl nearby very few live near Ikea and it costs €10 for delivery.

    Ordered on 13th December, arrived yesterday, they had emailed few days ago to say it was in Country and showed tracking.
    Wouldn't work with a fully charged Ladda battery, put an alkaline battery in and works fine, great light from the AA.

    Check it's not on electronic lockout.

    1-2-3 click sequence: Click (short pause) double-click (short pause) triple-click

    I put a meter on it and no continuity on the (-v)

    it worked by shorting the battery - to the chassis,

    I could fix it but why should I bother ? it's faulty

    Ok I was pondering over this during the day and since the case was conductive, why it wasn't working?

    This evening I investigated and eventually under strong light noticed there was an o-ring in the cap . this obviously should have been in the external grove of the main case, managed to remove it with a strong needle, .. reassembled and bingo , working perfect.

    just maybe a heads up if anybody else receives 1 in similar state

    Never received mine, actually forgot about it, logged into the website checked order, Jan 10 it said delivery failed, the last date was Feb 8 and it says, "Returned from oversea.

    Nothing in post box to say a delivery was attempted?

    Sent email, hopefully its sorted.

    That’s a bummer.
    From memory it was a small package so should have fit in the letter box. Can’t remember if I had to sign for it though.

    I don't have a door letter box, I have the AnPost post box and also an ordinary post box mounted on the wall, but nothing in either.

    Ah well not to worry.
