Have any UK bees seen them cheaper/in bulk?

This thread has come down to talking about battery prices and avilibility? right....

Well jade answered this thread right up..... yes used batteries wont have as much availible lithium for you to crack open and get out, if any at all.
Have fun.

Its just my opinion, but no-one listens to me anyway, and rightly so...

(Rated as: good idea!)
    

One of the biggest problems, IMO, would be not knowing just exactly how much lithium you had left in that battery.  Swim was never willing to take such a chance on ruining a rxn by it, are you?wink

      s peninsula buying club     

<<100 for $34:

Also, if you look in Snadio Frack's catalogue, you can find
large amp hour batteries at a price which is cheaper than the AA's.

Or so I've been told, anyway

How can you use any of it. Swim says a used battery's Li will disintegrate while unrolling. That's a fully used AA anyway.

Tighten Up!  (UH)

      ah but in prices     

lestat, since the pound note is worth more outside the u.k. (in some respects) why not purchase your bats via catalog or internet from places where the note gets you a better deal? Theres nothing odd about saving a few pounds being battery thrifty...winkwink grin grin say no more aye?
