IME it's a waste of time buying batteries online. There are so many

Swallow the extra expense and buy your batteries from a well
established high st. retailer would be my advice.


Which High Street shop would sell Li-ion batteries?

Maplin - probably not actually on the high street any more but still
real retail outlets.


I'd be surprised if the majority of the Maplin shops stock their entire
range of batteries.

Does RS count? They have 16 branches in the UK.


Think that is stretching the 'High Street' a bit far. ;-)

Obviously, my first choice would be mail order from a decent UK
electronics supplier.
