Anyone use Duracell rechargeable batteries?

I was thinking for bike lights, also as a possible as wii remotes. Ours tend to get left for a while then hammered for a few days.

Those maplin ones look to have pretty similar spec. to Duracell 'active thingy'.

Cheers.

You'll not have any problems fitting them in Wiimotes although they tend to hammer the batteries. Depends on your philosophy, some people think more is better.

Bike lights. I use both Maplin Hybrids and bogstandard in Hope Vision 1s/Cateye EL-1000/Mars 4.0 and they work great. Had to hollow out the chamber on the EL-1000 a bit with some sandpaper to get them to fit easier but after that works really well. I used to get dimming issues in the winter on the uniross where when the temperature dropped the light would go dim and when you went inside for a bit they'd brighten up again. The hybrids seem to work less well in cheap cateye front lights and there are often chamber fitting problems.
