I consume a considerable number of various batteries sizes. After earlier conversion to rechargeable batteries with reportedly up to a thousand-recharges - can I tell: These providers can not count the charge capacity decreases with higher recharge drastically! Given the considerably more expensive battery-emergence price (plus charge current) which is a promise for the dustbin. The offered here and all Varta Industrial batteries are fully charged, keep very long time and are of value for money unbeatable. At this price of 10.99 euros for 40 Varta AA LR06 battery costs not even 28 cents and incl. VAT. !!! Who has not accessed here probably just won the lottery. I can only recommend every buyer.
