I'm sure Darren would change his mind about rechargeable batteries, if like me back in February, while skiing using hands free walkie talkies, which were fully charged the night before, you suddenly lose contact with your guide. Why, because those damn rechargeables have gone flat. Not only damn annoying, but dangerous too. You can guess where they ended up that night! Solar power is ok, but there aren't many solar powered torches on the market lol I don't think there will be many ladies, wanting solar powered Rabbits either, no staying power lol, and who wants to see the last of that great phrase "Batteries not included". Dave Hi Darren, I don't believe rechargeables will ever be forced on people, they don't last long enough with high drain products. And the energy it takes to keep recharging them I would say equals that of throwing batteries away. Solar power is the way to go, but we are not there yet. I don't use rechargeables either, because they simply don't last long enough when push comes to shove, especially in recording devices.

The Gadget Show In my humble opinion that's not a very environmentally friendly attitude. Rechargeable batteries, in whatever form they may take are here to stay and just like filament light bulbs they will eventually be obsolete, so you will inevitably be forced to use rechargeables. Plus of course the cost of recharging a few sets of batteries is far less than buying brand new ones, even if you do buy them in bulk. So it's really a false economy.

The Gadget Show Phil, Well that's a no brainer, have you ever found a rechargable battery that last's a quarter of the time a duracell battery lasts? and gives some warning that its about to expire, I haven't! I can't be bothered changing batteries all the time, so I use Duracell. I buy them in bulk from Costco, and so the price is much more reasonable. Dave Thanks Dave, no surprise as you say but helpful nonetheless. What would be interesting would be a comparison of performance of the likes of duracell vs rechargeable..

The Gadget Show Duracell, out performed all others, no surprise there, and Morison's own were the best buy. Duracell worked out at 51 pence per hour and Morrison's 29 pence per hour. Duracell lasted twice as long as the Morison's batteries, so how many batteries do you want to carry around with you? HTH Dave Sounds interesting, just for interest what was their findings re batteries? Is the show repeated at all do you know? -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gerald Locke Sent: 17 December 2007 23:09 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Off Topic?

Jason Bradbury and Suzi Perry put rugged watches and multimedia players through their paces, while Jon Bentley visits some of Britain's leading technology companies to have a sniff around their research and development facilities. And, with so many Christmas presents depending on them, which batteries are best value for money?
