Batteries and chargers in the UK

[ionian]

I'm looking at treating myself to a telescopic mod for xmas. Can you advise me on
the best makes of batteries (factoring price and reliability)
The best makes of chargers
the best places to get them in the UK

I've seen bits about this in multiple threads, but thought I'd just ask and have it all in one place

I know there's no shipping the batteries from china at the moment, and I'd prefer to have a 3 pin charger rather than using an adapter - so prefer to buy in the UK. 

Thanks as always!

I have an xtar and it's been faultless, well worth the money.

I've got an Xtar SP2, it's got all the right algorithm thingies if that sort of thing interests you & it's never skipped a beat in the last 2yrs.

As for batteries, i use a mix of AW Efest & Senybor.

The AW & Senybor are knocking on for 2yrs use & no major signs of loss of performance.

The Efest & Senybor are all i buy now, i get them from Torchy, if you buy direct from him over on UKV you'll get them cheaper than his ebay shop & still with freepost.
