One of the first things out of the pile and onto the bench, I mean desk, was yet another battery powered toy. It seems that every other toy needs to flash and beep, the consequence of which is that the house eats AA batteries by the handful. We had brought a recharger from Pkgreen that should have been able to deal with standard alkaline cells, but it didn't. However it does work with rechargeables even if the screen is partly broken now.
With this in mind I decided to cease feeding the house's habit and buy in a chunk of rechargeables in one go to provide a maintenance dose of AA power. A search on t'internet led me to the eBay website of RechargeableBatteries.co.uk who had 40 2000mAh Sanyo Eneloop batteries on offer for £65. These are low self-discharge batteries which should be good for the low-use low-drain toys that are scattered around the house. As I'm always a bit wary buying off the web and the eBay shop has only been running since 17/12/10 a quick Whois gave the domain registrant as Supreme Imports who, according to their website, is the largest battery distributor in the world) so that's OK then.
Batteries arrived within 4 days of ordering. JOB DONE.
