Got a AA flashlight on it's way (crossed fingers) want to buy some eneloop AA rechargeable batteries for it and other stuff , can anybody recommend a reputable online European supplier with reasonable shipping charges ?
Ones i have found are Amazon obvious but did get ripped off with a purchase Novatac say no more
7dayshop
NKON.nl , expensive shipping
I bought my Eneloops here http://www.kq-shop.de/Akkus:::45.html?XTCsid=ajnv9q7c03bkf3mjc97p3s8e4ck9tatc
Fast delivery, and no problems.
i wanted to say amazon..
( i cant remember how the novatac storm story ended lo siento )
Do 7,95 euros seem expensive shipping (from Holland to Spain)?
I had a hard time finding Eneloop at an good price so as an alternative I bought GP ReCyko. They are supposed be good according to some people over at CPF and the price here in EU are better.
I bought my batteries from this Ebay seller which I can recommend. Fast shipping and good price.
I got a refund, after receiving a DvD "Night Shift Nurses" - anime porn. The seller said it was because they sent the stock number to Amazon, who mismatched it with the Novatac Storm. Seller said we could keep the DvD.
I've got my eneloops from another Amazon retailer - iCell Media, in Guernsey. Had some excellent deals (4 packs for £24 one day, same deal for £18 another, including free shipping to UK. Very variable pricing, but don't know what shipping is to Spain.
MyMemory (UK) sometimes have them, about 8£ and shipping is 2£ worldwide.
Only 4€ as an envelope. This isn't expensive, it's normal. In Germany you pay 3,40€ sending an enevelope (limit 500gramm) to another european country.
I bought them from
http://www.voelkner.de/products/1102/Akku-Micro-AAA-1-2V-800mAh-NiMH-SANYO-ENELOOP-4St..html
a couple of months ago and got the second generation (1500 cycles). Same with AA size.
Thanks Hobbyfotograaf for the recommendation they look good prices, double pack for €19.49 inc shipping.
As for my Novatac debacle , Woody did better than me i only got one DVD , but i did get a refund so lesson learnt ,
Thanks for all the other advice much appreciated ,
One more question i have a "Uniross Ni-Cd & Ni-MH Battery Charger" on the back it says "Output AA -2 x 2.8v ------150mA 0.42VA" Will this charger be OK for the eneloops or do i need to buy a new charger ?
This Charger is very slow, it will take around 24 hours to charge an empty eneloop with 150 mA. I recommend the fast eneloop chargers, which monitor every single battery and cut off if the battery is full. They are fast and are sold for a reasonable price. Just avoid the slow MQN04, which charges every battery for 16 hours.

I always buy my eneloops at amazon.de marketplace.
