Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

No most are professionally made and carefully assembled in meticulous factories and meet all of the required safety standards.
However more low quality batteries are on sale sourced for no other benchmark than price and are being sold by sellers with little to no knowledge of the products.

How can I tell if my lithium battery is safe or dangerous?

  • Heat: It’s normal for batteries to generate some heat when charging or in use. However if your device’s battery feels extremely hot to the touch, there’s chance it’s defective and may start a fire
  • Bulging: A battery bulging or swelling out of shape is a common sign of it failing. If your battery looks swollen, you should stop using it immediately. Similar signs include any type of lump or leaking from the device
  • Noise: Failing lithium batteries have also been reported to make hissing or cracking sounds
  • Smell: If you notice a strong or unusual smell coming from the battery, this could also be a sign of it failing
  • Performance: A failure to fully charge or longer charge times can be a sign that your battery is failing
  • Smoke: If your battery or device is smoking, a fire has already started - raise the alarm, call 999 and ask for the fire brigade

What you should do if your lithium battery is a fire risk

If your battery shows any of these signs of failing, Immediately turn off the device and unplug it from the power source. Call the device manufacturer or retailer for further instructions. If the device starts smoking or catches fire, raise the alarm, get out, stay out and call 999 immediately. If you’ve spotted the warning signs, make sure you report your faulty battery to your local Trading Standards office.

Disposing of a lithium battery

Lithium batteries should not be placed in the same bins as your regular rubbish or recycling. If they overheat, they may cause it to catch fire. Instead check your local authority's website for the safe way to dispose of lithium batteries in your area or if possible return them to your retailer.
