Hi Ada

Not the cheapest battery out there but if you want Fujitsu's the best deal I found was here - Lithium batteries from the Battery Company UK.

I bought a box of 10 - so £3.64 per battery which is less than half what AP charge for them.

If its for a Vision remmeber they don't like the panasonics (really don't like)

other place is MX2: Food for Enthusiasts

i was looking at the rechargeable batteries!!!for a chainge

lots of units are now using rechargeable batteries now

i know panasonic's are not recommended but i have not had any problems using panasonic's in the past 5/6 years in the classic and i have got most of them from the 7day shop
on the vision i have been using Duracell that cost 47p each {use by 2012 date} from Curry's /PC world
but i have run out now

well i have dun over 120h since November

so what are the problems with panasonic's?
if you know of problems, what are they?

Panasonics fine in classics have been using them for years same as you.

in the Vision I had one in the 2nd slot energizer in the first slot
the 1st battery was down to one bar in the dive, so I went to chnage it proir to changing turn it back on to see how much battery was left on surface.
Unit started went into battery check and the screen blanked no display HUD was still on controller was on. Only solution was to take batteries out and replace.

I think rechargables are not reccomended as their discharge curve is too steep for the vision controllers

Hi,

my instructor told me (I'm a beginner with my Inspiration) that the Panasonic as the rechargeable batteries are not suitable because they really suddenly break down, and that is not so good, what I can understand.

How much would you spend to stay alive ? Is a couple of $ or £ really so important ?

Take care, have fun and a nice day !

Cheers
