Batteries offer B&Q

[Marcus Geezer]

My local B&Q (Aylesbury) have a special offer on duracell plus AA and AAA batteries. Pack of 18 for just under a £5. Bargain!

Maybe others around the country are doing the same?

I've filled my boots, and I suggest others do to.

You get what you pay for. When they give up on you mid-game, don't be surprised.

The B&Q ones are fine, I've been using them for a good few years. Plus, their multipacks come shrink wrapped in 6's, perfect for throwing in the kitbag and not worrying about shorting on allen keys etc.

I change all batteries every day I play pretty much though, but these easily last full NSPL day etc. They're good stuff.

bargain, wouldnt suspect B&Q selling dodgy batteries myself.
if in doubt, check the pack for the use by date (yes they do have them)

costco are also another good one for batteries, not all people have costco cards though
32 duracell ultras for just a little over a 10er at the one near me!

A decent set of duracell should last several tournaments Beaker. Though I certainly wouldn't risk not changing them for each event. I generally put fresh batteries in my loader for each event and then they last several training sessions in between.

I'm talking economics here - I'm not convinced the likes of Halfords and B&Q batteries are as good as Duracells, but maybe I'm a sucker for branding.

Yeah however the first post clearly says these are Duracell Plus, just stocked at B&Q, hence should be as good as any other retailer.
