Re: USB AA Rechargeable Batteries

1300mAh isn't very much ... you will probably find you're constantly recharging them. I suspect they won't charge up very quickly either.

TBH I'd just use disposable AAs. They last a few weeks at a time in my wireless trackpad and for months in the keyboard.

Re: USB AA Rechargeable Batteries

Check out Lithium AA (non-rechargeable) batteries on ebay. I recently got a load for 85p each. They have very long shelf dates and last a lot longer than alkaline cells.

Re: USB AA Rechargeable Batteries

I now exclusively use Lloytron re-chargeables. They're brilliant. And I just bought a new Re-charger off Ebay (same brand) which will re-charge a couple of AAs in around 2 hours!

Re: USB AA Rechargeable Batteries

Wow, not at that price - if you want to charge off USB, I think 99pStore may have USB chargers - and although their "Ready to Use" rechargeables are low in capacity, they do hold a charge well, and work better in low drain use than some supposedly better batteries.
