Where do I stand on this?

[wendilla]

I have been using the same rechargeable batteries in my camera for 4 years .I have 4 in the pack but only use 2 at a time alternate. They were starting to lose there charge so I bought the same make 4 pack from wilkinsons 2000mah. I fully charged 2 and took 1 photo then next day batteries in camera were flat.I have not taken the other 2 out as they will see they have not been used.I fully charged them again and this morning they were flat after 1 photo. As it is batteries and I still have receipt can I get them exchanged.

[Gavmacp]

They will exchange them but if in doubt look at the sale of goods act.

[sara3]

yes, take them back if you bought them recently.

although I'm not sure what the 2000mah means...

[ChuckFickens]

It means.......

On second thoughts, you're really not interested, are you?

[Gavmacp]

Strength of battery

[sara3]

lol, okay.. OKAY!!

I thought it might have been a typo related to the year of purchase ;o)

I know.. don't tell me ;o)

[murraymints]

Are they the same as your last ones ? If you have receipt and bought within the last 28 days then take them back..under sale of goods act...not fit for purpose...

[wendilla]

I only bought them on Friday. But just wondered if they will exchange them as they could say they were the old ones but I have not taken the other 2 out as I would need to tear the pack to get them out.And they could be faulty as well. I will try anyway.

[wendilla]

Yes they are the same as the last ones and I still have them.

[murraymints]

I would leave the second pack intact ...surely they wont argue over a couple of batteries !!

[EDDIE51]

Yes take them back, I though for a second that you bought Wilkinsons own brand 'Wilco' . I was going to say they are cheap imitations .
Are you using the same charger with the new set? Just a thought that there may be a fault with the charger rather than the batteries.

[wendilla]

No they are the Energizer and 4 in the pack just under £8 for 4 and I would have to tear the cardboard to get the other 2 out. They are the same as the ones I have been using for 4 years. Charger is ok as it took normal time to charge. Thank you for reply and thanks everyone I will take them back and stand no nonsense.I was just concerned as it was batteries.

[Gromit]

If they were dud batteries, your charger would not light up that they are charged, it would stay on red. Are you sure there is not a fault with the camera. Can you try recharging and putting the batteries in something else?

[murraymints]

I got ultra max rechargeable batts 800mah...2 for £1 in poundland ..just as good as my expensive ones...lasting just as long !!

[jomifl]

2000mah means the battery can supply a current of 2000 milliamps for 1 hour or 1000 milliamps for 2 hours etc. It is a measure of the electrical capacity of the battery. The 'strength' of a battery if such a term was used would be its ability to supply current or 'amps'. This multiplied by voltage gives the power.

[EDDIE51]

murrymints that sounds good value, I will look in the £1 shop next time I go, need some batteries for my camera but I need a charger as well. Don't think I'll get that for £1.

[murraymints]

you will you know !!!

[ChuckFickens]

800mah would not really be suitable for a digital camera.

[EDDIE51]

Chuck that is what I was thinking 800mah is very low, these look good value and the site has excellent feed back.

Futher up on the same ebay page there is a charger and 2 batteries for £3.99 post free, I am goint to order both.

[EDDIE51]

If I get that lot I can spare a few batteries for the wifes 'Rampant Rabbit' . That will be her Christmas present sorted ;-)

[buildersmate]

Not sure that a Rampant Rabbit will perform adequately with cheap batteries installed. Wife may end up disappointed.
