Screwfix AA Batteries

[ash_s3]

Anyone use Screwfix own brand batteries in test equipment?
My local has 8 for £1.59 (4+4 free)

Any thoughts good or bad?

cheers

Duracell coppertop or procells for me, usually 1/2 used ones which have done a show or two in radio microphones.

This weeks show alone I will have got through 196 batteries.

I usually bulk buy AA & AAA Duracell from Eblag or Amazon.

My Metrel came with rechargeable batteries.
Just plug in the charger to the MFT occasionally and they get charged up.

Don't waste your money on batteries, use a battery carrier, wired to an AC-DC voltage of your choice, with a long extension lead and tap off any available live supply.
