My trvs require eneloop 1900 batteries due to the very tight battery compartment.

I've been looking for legitimate batteries as I know how bad the fake market it.

Even amazon has resellers.

Is 16850 website legit? They have many sales?

If anyone has a reliable source that would be great.
 
I just measured an Eneloop 1900mah, an IKEA LADDA 2450mah (eneloop clone/copy/remarket) and an IKEA grey version of that as well. The most difference in size is around 0.2mm.

Is this width?
Is the width/diameter which I have the issue with.

Is this for the Tado TRVs?

The Ikea rechargeable's are all but confirmed to be Eneloop Pro's. They test within 1% of eneloop pro's and the graph's during tests are basically identical. (i.e. pretty much just sample variance). They are something like three times cheaper as well!

Please update if you find any others which fit, as I have the same issue - I have some EBL rechargeables which just squeeze in, but not ideal and they're a pain to get out again!

Nothing else has worked for me either. Talk about a **** design!

You mean the batteries? It's not just the Tado I've had problems with, encountered fitting issues with quite a few devices with tight fittings, and it's been a couple of different brands of battery as well - feel free to rule out Duracell and Morrison's own brand rechargeables :(

Yeah. Why don't they just leave some room?

Weirdly. The v1 models can physically hold any battery. But they aren't hardware compatible!

I have the IKEA ones in everything battery operated in the house. No point getting anything else concidering they are eneloop just without the fancy branding.
