At ful price £14-99 for a dozen, they are probably cheaper than single use alkalines, and when they're on offer at £9-99 they're a bargain!

I've got both and they seem to be identical except that they've now branded them Maplin instead on Vanson.

Good battery that actually seems to *really* last the 2300mAH length. Buy cheap crap, you get cheap crap. Odie
