Smile Re: Yet Another Torch...

Hi,
I have two of the 2x996 type, one bought in my teenage, and the other I bought yesterday.
The hospital boiler house I worked in back in the early 70s had a rechargeable version with a shallow battery box, Ni-Cad cells and a built-in charger which connected to the mains via a miniature Bulgin plug. I seem to remember that the battery didn't last an awfully long time and the light wasn't as good as my own torch.
Cheers, Pete.
