steve_b_wales Posted November 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Torchy boys But about £9-£11 each. Thanks. I don't mind paying for quality ones. I did have a pack of two once, that I paid £17:00 for, but cannot remember where I bought them from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobba Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Avoid "UniqueFire" batteries. From my experience their staying power is diddly squat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincs1963 Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 The best ones I have are all reclaimed from laptop batteries. They just seem to last so much longer than new ones. No idea why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymo Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Avoid "UniqueFire" batteries. From my experience their staying power is diddly squat. Indeed I have found the same-- wanted to use one in the Halloween pumpkin to avoid little fingers getting burnt. 20mins or so and it was discharged again from fully charged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a few and the charge hasn't lasted very long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
