Re-chargeable batteries
Do any one have any problems with fitting them into things?
I find they are fatter then alkaline ones.
My Canon 580 EXII is ok with them but I have others that just can’t get them to work in

Guess it depends what rechargeables your buying. Have found the 7dayshop batteries slightly bigger than the standard ones.

I've got about 6 different brands of rechargables. Some of them (Energizer, Hahnel) are OK but some others are too fat to fit in some of the kid's toys.

It seems to be more of a problem with cheap ones TBH, maybe the manufacturing tolerances are a bit more "generous"!

I found all other types fine Chaz- its just the cheaper 7dayshop ones- its because they put another foil layer around the batteries.

Enaloops are the way forward.... IMHO

Have checked this and there is only one layer of foil plus the plastic to insulate it

Well 7dayshop admit that this is the problem:
