Yes AA cells in both, the ones in the tin opener are in fact Eveready Energizer 2500mAh and get charged when I can no longer open my favourite baked beans, which is at least a couple of months.

If the Maplin ones are twice the price of the Energizer then get the latter, I am wary of own brands or cheap branded ones. If Mallory can't make cells then no one can, the only exception being the non-rechargeable Ultra range which seem to be prone to leakage I get the Plus range of Alkalines.
