    Ive used them too. They're a good battery only my kids dumped them without asking if they were rechargeable. Are they on again in aldidl?

    What you're looking for is a high mAh rating on them and I think the lidl ones are pretty decent. I have paid a bit extra for the "soshine" ones from dealextreme and they are well worth the money, but the lidl ones are also grand (from memory).

    Lidl brand Tronic - never had a problem with them, even when recharging after a long period of non-use.

    Aldi brand Digital (not 100% certain they are from Aldi...) - every single one totally dead in same scenario.

    Eneloop type batteries are the way to go though. They hold their charge for much much longer than regular rechargeables. I think eneloop is a trademark word, and cheaper equivalents are freely available.

    For recharging: some of the cheap solar garden lights use AA/AAA batteries, and can be opened to contain your batteries instead. They obviously need to be hidden from plain sight or being stumbled upon, and might need a bit of easy modification for connection purposes, and, more importantly, so that they do not light up in the dark... :eek:

    ps Think the Lidl ones are €4 per pack of 4, not €3 as you said?

    Not your ornery onager

    The Aldi ones are fairly useless alright. The last pack I got could hold feck all charge
