Batteries offer B&Q

[Beaker]

Perhaps you're just not shooting enough to drain them

If it's something that counts like a major event, then I don't chance it. My economics is that I'm not going to screw up a £500 Millennium for the sake of another £3 worth of batteries a day. It's no different to shooting Hellfire instead on Inferno in my book, if you're going to commit do it, do it properly. Training is different and I use my part used batts again.

I've has as many Duracells that were duff / not last as long as expected as the B&Q ones though.

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.

Syd full respect to you, but I just want it to be clear, these are NOT own branded batteries, these are Duracell plus batteries.

18 Duracell plus batteries either AA or AAA for less than fiver. Mine say best before 2014. I think I'm gonna get my arse down their and get some more actually. You can never have enough AA batteries, especially if you own a pulse!

Not trying to start a debate regarding battery quality, just trying to help out fellow ballers by hi-liting an offer that my local B&Q have at the moment.

My bad. Didn't read the thread properly - it was early in the morning! I'll shut up now.
