Hi Caroline, Thanks for the heads up on the 2 for 1 offer at Argos. I checked it out on their web site and the offer is available there too. However, it is confusing because it has different prices in different places! The main section say £5.99 for a 2 pack and you can get two for the price of one. If you drill down into the "more info" section it says the price is £3.99 and that if you want to take advantage of the two for one offer you should order two of the packs. If I recall correctly the offer is open until towards the end of July. I did a brief web search and the cheapest I found a 2 pack was £3.10 excluding postage. The Argos offer seems extremely good. One observation. The Argos web site shows a picture of the pack and it clearly has printed on it "up to 5 times the life of alkaline". Yes the Argos description right next to the picture says "up to 7 times the life". One question. I discovered there are two version of the Energizer AA lithiums. The one we are talking about here. And one called Energizer AA 9.1 lithium which costs more money. The latter are not sold at Argos. I can't find anywhere which says what the difference is.

Perhaps it was an offer which was only available over the bank holiday, I'm really not sure. I hope you got a second pack free though, even if the reduction was not still available.

Org Sent: Monday, May 30, 2005 9:53 PM Subject: [bookcourier] Lithium Energiser Batteries Hello, In case anyone in the UK is interested in trying out the lithium energiser batteries which were discussed on the list last week, they are available from Argos for £3.99 for a pack of two, and if you buy one pack, you get a second one free. I'm not sure whether this offer extends to the web site, but it was certainly available in our nearest store this afternoon. Regards, Caroline. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
