i'm sick of my torch running out of batteries!!

there seems to be a lot of choice for wind up torches but its difficult to choose - anybody have an experience with wind up torches and can recommend a decent one that isn't too bulky?
 
There are some good new Rechargables that hold their charge really well, I think they are Maxeee or something like that.
 
I got some low self discharge 2100mAh AA's, and a 30 min fast charger; does the 4 AAs in about 35 mins. £19 for the charger, £5 for the batts.
I think energizer even do a 15 min charger.
 
tbh the best one i have was from netto ,edit no it was aldi ,for around £3.50 you can use one or all of the leds plus one little wind lasts for ages think wilkingsons do them as well, use it as a reading light:)
