    Christmas toys - batteries

    Just realised I need to buy more some more rechargeable batteries. But how can this be? Last year I bought almost 100 AA and 50 AAA rechargeables.

    Where have they all gone?

    They've gone to that special place where single socks and biros go.

      don't they get eaten by the ZipMogs?

        I think they carry them off to a secret place - I suspect it's in the box room ...

          I found several pens, chopsticks and some batteries under a bed in one of my spare rooms

              Perhaps you forgot they were rechargeable and binned them when they went flat.

                Recycled, we hope.

                Or the kids could have been flogging/giving them to their mates...

                  What!!?

                  Dont get this one bit, 150 rechargeable batteries, WTF!?

                  Unless these are for gifts \ toys you're giving other people's kids (and why do that, let their parents buy them) that's just sheer lunacy.

                  If they are for your own kids, select the toy that takes the maximum number of cells. You then buy that number of AA or triple A cells plus one or two extra in case of failure or, to make maximum use of your charger ie toy takes 6 cells but charger takes 8, buy 8.

                  Then you recharge them as required.
