Lidl's rechargable batteries

Post by Mr R »

Good afternoon,

Has anyone used 'Tronic' batteries and charger, as sold by Lidl's? If so, are they any good, or am I better off saving up my pennies and purchasing a more expensive 'brand'?

Thank you, in advance, for any info.

If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

The batteries are ok, ive used lots of them, they last me about 18 months before i see them degrade.

I know someone who uses the charger and their batteries don't seem to last long at all compared to his other chargers. The charger just seems to be a speed/fast charge not a trickle charge (which can take up to 7 hours).

My lot use them in their x-box controllers, they're fine ;)
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.
