Tronic rechargeable batteries

Available in the full range of sizes, Tronic rechargeable batteries are available from Lidl and other sources.

They list impressive capacities for their minimal price, but unfortunately seem to lose their charge very easily and if not used soon after charging often require recharging - if it's possible to do that at all.

Rechargeable batteries are meant to be capable of being charged up to 1,000 times. This sorry range rarely seems to make it into double figures before giving up the ghost though.

It's probably more economical to buy standard alkaline batteries.

A real false economy, steer clear.
