3w tesco torch aa rechargeable battery

[BAGBOG]

Anyone have any recommendations for NiMH cells that are sufficiently thin?

Bought my Tesco 2AA's yesterday and have tried Energiser 2500, Uniross 1300 and Olympus 1700 (all NMHI) and they all fitted with room to spare.

I do not understand the problem unless the latter ones have been "sorted"

I never had problems either but I have no trouble believing that the tolerances are on the large side for these torches. You can only get so much for your money and they're damned good for the price.

Dammit just looking at getting my lights set up and can only find 3 rechargeable batteries that fit it which are some old 1300 Energizer (Silver and Green)
But the batteries that came with the charger (Uniross 15 minute charger 2 x AA 2300 Blue) fit fine. The later Black and Silver batteries won't.

Those chargers are really good - We have 2 and have used them for a year for all the kids toys. I just leave one at work and charge the torch batteries while I get changed.

I ordered 4 of 7dayshops 2800maH batteries but they are just too fat to fit in !
Will try scratching the sticker off the inside of the torch tonight...

I use 7 day shop 2700mah ones from last year. Yes they are too fat to fit. Spent an hour with a file and sand paper on the inside of the torch.

Just got these as well. Good fit on one torch but really tight on a second one. Both ends off the torch and push the batteris out is easy enough though.
