itspete , i'm not very sure of the import taxes for the UK. But i guess for low-priced items like 4-5pounds for the batteries, it would be tax-free. Even if tax was imposed, it could be like at most 1pound, maybe even a few pence.

Unless you purchase a battery that costs 20pounds, which i don't think costs that much, you shouldn't have much problems with the import taxes.

Perhaps do a little search on the import taxes percentage and the minimum price before they start charging taxes. Then compare the purchase price + postage + taxes for oversea purchases, to purchasing outright from UK stocks.

i'm pretty sure the oversea items would be slightly cheaper than buying locally, even including taxes.
