7dayshop are cheap as low value packages are not subject to VAT from the
Channel Isles although I have experienced quite lengthy delivery times and
some innovative responses to my requests for a specific delivery date.

I agree with you, Paul, I doubt that a winder will justify rechargeables.
For an MD using the 18v grip, I have used lithium AA batteries to great
effect - they last and last and last. But they can be hard to find. Since
Jonathan is in UK, I suggest 7dayshop in Guernsey. Dixons denied there was
such a thing as Lithium AA - yes, it was a long short, but they deserved a
chance at least.

I don't think rechargeables make much sense for the winder. I use AA
alkalines in my winders, and change them once a year whether they need it or
not. I probably get 50-100 rolls out of a set (I never bothered to count). I
can usually find Toshiba alkalines for $0.25 each in 48 packs at BJ's.
Oh, the winder uses 4 AA's.
