Could you post a photo of yours now that it's known to work, and a URL for the one you've found, please?
Thanks

Pictures here, along with lots of technical stuff that is somewhat beyond me..
https://lygte-info.dk/review/Review%20C ... %20UK.htmlIf you were interested I could type out the typical charge times quoted in the manual for charging various capacities of AAA and AA cells.
Essentially though I would use it overnight and just check on it if you wake during the night. It charges slowly, which is good I think.
I suppose you could also use it for micro charges when stopping in the likes of spoons - some have USB ports at tables, if no USB ports just plug the ikea device into a mains/USB adaptor.
On discovering that they are discontinued I bought my second one the other day from here:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/IKEA-VINNING ... 2749.l2649I was expecting it to come by royal mail but that seller actually sent it by courier and I got an email alert to tell me it was coming with a 2 hour delivery slot.
If you search for Vinninge you will maybe find other sellers.
I have no idea why Ikea discontinued it in the UK - I have the impression that they are still selling it in other territories.
Great thing - saves me from carrying a mains AA/AAA charger and in any case sitting in a spoons for 12 hours, even for me, might be a challenge.
It weighs next to nothing.
