A couple of years ago I was introduced to the Holy Grail of chargers: A device that could charge 99% of all digital camera and camcorder batteries, all mobile phone batteries and even AAs and AAAs. It also had the bonus of an in-car charging cord and with it’s variable voltage could be used anywhere in the world.
Today there are now numerous different makes and models but none has managed to emulate both the simplicity and ease of use of my direct from the factory ‘AP Magic Charger’. For as little as £9.90 you can buy this futuristic looking, beautifully designed and elegant device in high gloss black that is both stylish and compact.
Newer, more expensive and complex copies have now arrived but who needs things like a meter for the charge when a simple ‘on charge’ light and ‘fully charged’ light will suffice. Just more to go wrong and all that.
From one of the Far East’s foremost manufacturers I have so far imported over 10,000 units in lots of a 1000 by sea and sometimes, because of high demand, by (expensive) air.
With a retail price of up to £29.99 this is a high margin, fast seller. Jeff Scowen’s AP Magic Charger is the UK’s original and without doubt still the best.

The Uniross story is a fascinating one of innovations and first to market products. You can read about this elsewhere in this issue.
Jeff Scowen has long been associated with this world brand with them consistently being Uniross’ number one photo-imaging wholesaler. It therefore comes as no surprise that Uniross should now choose Jeff Scowen as their photo-imaging wholesaler. This effectively means that all Uniross products can now be purchased form Jeff Scowen at Uniross direct prices. This means much lower prices. Combining a new aggressive pricing policy from Uniross with this direct pricing effectively gives you the customer prices on average 25% lower. Examples of this include the popular Li-40B that fits many cameras at just £3.50, the award winning 2700 AAs 4 pack at £4.85 and the ultra intelligent Smart 2700 charger and 4 batteries at only £9.78.
New products to follow later in the month include a futuristic 1 hour charger and a budget 2700 charger. Many new digital camera and camcorder batteries are also on their way with Uniross now delivering faster to market battery replacements.
Let’s also remember that Uniross is the green battery manufacturer with their credentials not being tainted by offering any one-use throw away batteries. That’s why the WWF (World Wildlife Fund) chose Uniross as a partner.
Whilst some rechargeable battery manufacturers have downgraded their AA capacity (eg Duracell down to 2450mAh) or stay at a lower capacity (eg Energizer also at 2450mAh) Uniross produce continue to produce the best and finest high capacity AA at 2700 mAh. This was proved by them winning the Gadget Show’s comparison test of leading brands. We remind you also that own brand 2700/2800s and others are probably not of this stated capacity they do not have Uniross’ reputation to maintain; the scope for exaggeration in testing very much still exists.
When you sell your customers Uniross you are really selling the world’s most recognised rechargeable brand and often now at a price below the others. Jeff Scowen is ready to serve you with all of Uniross’ photo products including 150 digital camera and camcorder batteries and tens of thousands of pounds worth of other in-stock products.

UNIROSS is still known by many as the rechargeable brand.
UNIROSS started life in Bristol in 1968 making industrial rechargeable batteries.
In the 1980’s and 1990’s Uniross started to produce more ‘retail friendly’ ranges for every day use in more consumer friendly packaging (better card designs and information and clam pack.
Most retailers were having some success with Uniross AA Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) 800mAh batteries in a small market These early developments helped lift the image of the rechargeable battery from being a garage product to a more domestic appliance and into the larger market of the general domestic consumer.
The introduction of the 1300mAh Ni-MH in AA size in the 90’s was a revolution for retail at this time, a good-better strategy started to emerge and sales started to increase. Uniross started to drive the market by introducing on-pack promotions and the market started to grow. A while later (2002) saw the launch of the 1700mAh AA in the UK, again a first from Uniross. Then the 2000mAh AA followed shortly afterwards in 2003. This was just as the digital camera was hitting the mass market in UK and most of these cameras were using mainly AA cells.
This now gave many more consumers first hand experience of how superior rechargeable batteries were in powering ‘high drain’ appliances. They far surpassed ‘ordinary’ alkaline batteries in the number of shots that could be achieved, and you could recharge them up to 1000 times – almost too much to believe!
In 2006 Uniross launched the AA 2700mAh, still the highest performance rechargeable AA battery available today and recently awarded ‘Best Rechargeable battery’ by Channel 5’s The Gadget Show.
2006 UNIROSS also saw the start of an increase in the range of Lithium camera and camcorder rechargeable batteries to give more compatibility and consumer choice as digital cameras became more Lithium battery dependent. By this time Uniross had moved to a central European HQ just outside Paris and expanded world wide to places like China, India, Australia, South Africa and the US, buying several companies along the way.
In 2007 Uniross was the first battery company to launch a pre-charged, ready-to-use rechargeable battery in the UK – Now known as ‘Ultra’ – using Hybrio® technology.
Because of the environmentally benefits of the rechargeable battery, Uniross were also the only battery brand to have been endorsed by the biggest environmental organisation (the World Wildlife Fund) and have carried the WWF logo on their packs.
Then a combination of massive raw material cost increases for Nickel (250% increase at one point) poor exchange rates and poor performing company acquisitions led to a re-financing of the Uniross business in 2009. It was the huge Eveready Industries India Ltd that saw the opportunity and potential and invested in the Uniross global business in mid 2009. Thanks to Eveready Industries, Uniross has increased it’s product portfolio to include an extended range of rechargeable and non rechargeable batteries, over 120 digital camera and camcorder Lithium batteries, AA Lithium primary batteries, an entire range of the latest (EUP) European Directive compatible Power supplies, a full range of LED torches and more Product Development to follow, including 5 new battery chargers due for launch in Summer/Autumn 2010
A new Uniross strategy is to increase their availability in the UK and Ireland markets by working closely with a limited number of distributors. They are:
Supreme Imports, Anand International, Peat wholesale (Ireland only) and Jeff Scowen (for the Photographic and imaging market).
Jeff Scowen in particular has been for many years virtually a Uniross only wholesaler of rechargeables and thereby synonymous with the brand. They stock all of the photographic and imaging products including every one of the growing 150 range of Uniross digital camera and camcorder batteries. These distributors cover the whole UK and Ireland market, and Uniross are proud to be associated with all of them.
Specially prepared to support the photographic market, Uniross have the very latest battery compatibility brochure, which features over 8,000 cameras and camcorders. This is available to all UK retailers and e-tailers in paper and PDF form and updated regularly. If you want one, please contact your battery distributor or Uniross directly. The Uniross ‘Battery Finder’, which allows you to search for the right battery by brand and make of the camera, will also feature on the new look Uniross website, which is being re-launched in September 2010.

Here are some of the highlights from my expanding range and reducing prices:
- Large reductions on the whole of my Panasonic batteries range. As an example you can now buy a AA 4 pack alkaline for just £0.59.
- Included now in my extensive range of Silicon Power memory cards are the new Full HD Video cards. Together with the whole range these have been recently reduced so that the 8gb for example is only £11.75.
- More Kodak and Energizer batteries have now been added to the range.
- Work envelopes and wallets are now back in stock as are both 1gb & 2gb XD cards and a new line: Fuji Photodisc CDs.
- Soon into stock will be a range of 100s of storage products from the UK’s leading supplier Arrowfile. Jeff Scowen has recently been appointed as their sole UK wholesaler to the trade. More on this later.
- Many new Uniross batteries for digital cameras and camcorders are now in with more to follow together with big price reductions across the range.
