Tronic Ni Mh cells from Lidl (Ready to use eneloop Vs Professional).

[Ian Field]

Google pretty much only found battery chargers and it looks like the Lidl
server is down, so I can't access the products user manuals.

Last time Lidl had batteries, they were "ready to use" eneloops, so I bought
a half dozen D cells, they had batteries again on Monday and there were
still some left of sizes I would have bought, but these are branded as;
"Tronic - professional" - I nearly bought some, but there was no mention of
ready to use or low self discharge on the packaging.

Anyone know if they're also low discharge type - or just like the old sort?

Thanks.

Thanks.

They obviously fooled some people, there were a few left Wednesday - I went
there for milk today and the battery basket was cleared away.

I bought plenty of the old type when they were 50p a pack cheaper, so I
don't need any more of those.

Maybe I should hide a £20 note in a dark recess of my wallet for that rare
occasion the right sort are offered.
