  • Do you know if the battery chemistry is LFP? Prefer over NMC!

      @stingy007 I will do you one better… these are NiMH.

  • Is this good?

    The classic battery charger subscription.

    The batteries are rechargeable, so the charger must be single-use.

    • +1

      For security and safety reasons, the included batteries can only be charged by the matching charger (the batteries have an embedded chip to facilitate this). That’s what makes it a smart charger

      • Haha, I bought an Epson ecotank printer recently and still can't believe that Epson is selling you cheap ink in bottles, that you're supposed to pour the ink from the bottle to the printer's tank, and then check the ink levels with your eyes. And the printer driver reminds you from time to time that it's your responsibility to check the levels.

  • Need some batteries for my front door. Don’t know much about batteries - are these a cheaper alternative to single use batteries and is it worth the money?

    • +1

      How often do you change your front door batteries? Work that out and then divide that with cost of the theses and then add the effort to make sure the batteries are always charged, then you will know if it is worth it.

      • But higher chances for alkaline batteries to leak.

      This charger Smart and Quick, that charger Stupid and Slow.

      From the comments on that post:

      very bad charger, fix timer and need to charge in pair

      This one posted 8pm, that one posted 2am and expired 10 minutes later.

      Have I missed any other differences?

      Because that basic one is crap. It runs on a fixed timer.

      • Choice Magazine's AA rechargeable battery test in June 2022

        Ladda HR6 were ranked 10th out of 16 (69%)
        Eneloops Ready To Use were ranked 1st (94%)

        • I don’t understand their vague in house scoring when the Ladda lasts longer in their tests (5 1/2h vs 4 1/2h), is a higher capacity, and is cheaper…

            @2025: FYI

            HOW CHOICE TEST RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

            The batteries are put through continuous cycles of charge and discharge to measure
            their endurance and capacity consistency. They’re also tested for self-discharge (which is their
            loss of power while not in use).

            Endurance:

            Batteries with good endurance can power an appliance for longer and be recharged more often. In our testing, batteries were penalised on a decreasing scale if they didn’t complete the full 200 cycles of testing, though some had good endurance up to the time of failure.

            Consistency

            How well the battery retains its initial capacity. A battery rated for 2500mAh, for example,
            should still have close to that capacity after 100 recharges. A low score means the battery loses
            a lot of capacity over multiple recharges.

            Self-discharge

            Rechargeable batteries tend to lose some charge when left unused, but a good battery will lose only a little. The higher the score, the lower the self-discharge.

            Capacity score

            Determined by how close the measured capacity meets the claimed capacity. Any model
            with a higher measured capacity scores 100%.

        • I see the package for this charger says up to 2,000 mAH so does that mean it's no good - dangerous to recharge Laddas (2,450 mAH) with it?

          • @sam buster: Ok, read the manual, and compared with a package of just the batteries and assume "up to max 2,000 mAH" is referring to the capacity of the included batteries.

  • +3

    Finally, the good charger. Although I already have a better charger, this is pretty good for anyone just starting into rechargeable AAs. For anyone who's not a battery geek, this should be all they ever need.

    • What extra does the geek version provide?

      • +1

        Something like the Maha MH-C9000PRO will let you change the rate of charge. They also let you discharge the battery, and it will measure the capacity of each battery and display it on the screen.

      • +6

        Depending on the charger, one or more of the following:

        • The ability to choose charging current so you can charge slow to preserve the battery or fast if needed
        • More detailed info on how full the battery is up to the level of counting the exact amount of mAh charged into each cell
        • The ability to discharge a battery to measure its actual capacity or to do a deep cycle and fully discharge then recharge the cell in an attempt to refresh /restore lost capacity
        • You can charge larger cells or cells of different chemistry, such as Li-Ion 18650 cells for high power torches or D cell NiMH

        Most people have no need for any of that, a charger like this is better suited to anyone who just wants to use rechargeable AAs. The two key features you need are:

        • Uses delta-V voltage detection to detect that a battery is fully charged and then switches off/to trickle charge, rather than just charging based on a timer
        • Does that individually for each cell, rather than a pair of cells.

        This one meets that standard.

        This is the charger I have (https://www.liteshop.com.au/content/xtar-dragon-vp4-plus-4-s…) it's mostly stupid overkill, but I do use it for 18650s for torches.

    TGG commercial has these for $36 if you have access.

  • I bought the 4 pack of AA eneloop pros the other day for my laser level for work, would they work on the lasers charger? It's a CPI.

    • I bought the 4 pack as well for a head torch which has a built in charger, and it seems to be charging them fine….plug it in and find out

    for 10 bucks more.. is it better to buy the PRO?

    • The pro is a different product - higher capacity per charge (2500mah vs 2100mah) but lower overall lifespan (500 charges vs 2000 charges)

      This is just a basic fact of battery chemistry - when you're at the extremes of capacity, the durability suffers. Also why you see those seemingly shit 1000mah/600mah cells in solar lights or cordless phones - they experience a lot more charging cycles so using a high capacity cell is of very little benefit (the handset/lights will rarely if ever actually need that extra per-charge capacity because they'll just get put back on the base/the sun will come out) but a waste of money as the 'better' cells will in fact drop dead faster due to the excessive amount of charge cycles.
