China solves world energy crisis
24 AA batteries for £3! If they made cars or cookers that ran on AA batteries it'd be near limitless energy for minimal outlay.
Super Extra Heavy Duty. You can't get heavier duty than that.
And these ones were discounted to £1. Just to reiterate - that's 24 batteries for £1. Imagine the joy and excitement we felt as this was scanned in at the till, and the price really did come up as £1.
Problem is, they don't work. A brand new pair wouldn't even get a digital camera to turn on in 'play' mode. They literally do not work at all. China! You have made a powerful new enemy today.

The walkman really looks dissapointed.
Says there they only work in 80's ghetto blasters, tazers, and depressed walkman.
Not wheelie bins.
Thats no tazer, it is the iPhone 2 that runs on AA batteries. China is so far ahead of the game its scary.
Hmmm. 80s batteries, clearance price, and then shock and despair that they don't work?
And you can't recharge them in a fire.
They look like the ones my mom bought at a flea market once. If you look closely you can see that there's no contacts at the bottom, so it's likely they're fake. Are they lighter then normal?
And is the Walkman sad because it's a Sony product?
the thing about 24-for-a-pound batteries is they work just about enough to be legally called "batteries". ie they'll probably power a remote control for about ten minutes if you don't use it very much. a digital camera is just taking the piss.
Oh, and what idiot is going to recharge them in a fire? That is just plain dumb.
There should be a comma in there somewhere; they don't actually say that the batteries shouldn't be recharged in a fire, merely that they shouldn't be recharged in general. The icons/disclaimer and labelling on the cells are a rip-off of Panasonic batteries.
I reckon these are dry powdery zinc-carbon types that wouldn't have a hope in hell of powering a camera. You often see them included "free" with those one quid torches.
OT sorry: Pay your TV licence you faggoty fuckers
Ha ha... been there, done exactly that! Shunned 4 Duracells @ £4.50 for 24 cheapies @ £3 in the local campsite shop to power a digital camera. Like you, first set wouldn't power, second set mustered about 3 seconds...
Bargain! Or maybe not. What is a bargain is the green and black 10xAA HW Max Super Heavy Duty batteries I bought for (I think) 2 euros (£1.43) from bargain shop Clas Ohlsen. I wasn't expecting them to work at all, but the torch they're powering hasn't gone dead after even six short uses!
BEGIN THE WAR ON CHINA!
I pledge my support and blind allegiance to this glorious cause.
Death to all their men! Death to all their unattractive women! Death to all those who power their electronics with Sony batteries!*
*This death will not be caused by us
issszk - the noise made by the Sony battery immediately prior to explosion.
