Buying genuine batteries... Where?

[413x]

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.

Thanks for the info. Especially if the IKEA ones are same size

Is this for the Tado TRVs?

It is yes.

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 multiple brands of battery as well

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

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

Thanks guys.
The LADDA batteries fit perfectly
