Long time Ozbargainer, first time poster

Decided to get myself some eneloops after seeing all the eneloop rave here. Trust me, before Ozbargain I thought energizer/duracell were the best bet. As I was looking for a bargain stumbled on the 50% off deal @ Bing Lee.

You can get a Smart charger + 4 AA + 4 AAA for $42 (again thanks to Ozbargain, wasn't even aware of a smart charger before)

It is a bargain only if you can pick it up from the store though, the delivery fee sucks ($9 for each item).

The fine print

THE OFFER

      IME they don't work 'just as well'. In fact, the Aldi ones that I have bought in the past have only been about as good as the Woolworths Select LSD NiMH batteries. Turnigy ones are better, the Eneloop Pro's I have are better again.

          Be aware that Zapals don't ship them with an AU plug. If you request an AU plug, they ship it with a US plug and a non-compliant plug adaptor (no insulation on the pins). If you have little kids, plug adaptors are DANGEROUS - the holes are huge compared to the holes in powerpoints, your kids could stick anything into them and get electrocuted much more easily than with a standard powerpoint.

          I received mine from Zapals on 10 November, according to the Nitecore website it is genuine.

    • abacus on 28/12/2016 - 23:47

      I use 4 batteries for DSLR flash and Sangean DAB radio. When device dies, I take all four out, put into this charger, (I didn't compare prices).
      http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/La-Crosse-Technology-BC-700-Alpha…

      I hold down button on the right which discharges all four at 100ma, then when 'dead enough' they are automatically charged at 200ma (slow charge) and then 'turns off' when finished. Make sure all batteries are over 2000maH. If you haven't used them for ages and are dead, they might need to be refreshed where they are killed, charged, killed, charged. People will argue that NIMH don't need to be killed, but it's not so clear and I do and the batteries are 5 years old and all going well. I think alkaline batteries are a bad idea, even ones for remotes and clocks.

        People will argue that NIMH don't need to be killed, but it's not so clear and I do and the batteries are 5 years old and all going well.

        You are just eating up the life by discharging them like that.

        If you are only charging at 200mA (1/10th C) then that is overnight charge but very "kind" to the cells. That's what is prolonging the life, not the discharging. However I bet that your 5 year old batteries are not pulling their full capacity any longer, you should test and confirm.

        I think alkaline batteries are a bad idea, even ones for remotes and clocks.

        Many devices cannot use rechargables, since the cutoff voltage is too low. A NiMH fully charged is probably close to 1.35V but they settle down to 1.25 or so pretty quickly. Many devices designed for Alkalines will show "low battery" at that point and refuse to work at under 1.2 or so. This is because an Alkaline cell is considered "flat" at 1.2V and there is very little energy left in it at that voltage.

        A perfect example is X-Box controllers. The console tells you the batteries are flat at about 1.2V. So the life of NiMH is terrible, as you only get about 1/4 the capacity out of each charge. So, we use Alkalines, then I take the "used" ones nd put them is battery powered LED lights where they will run for a long time before finally carking it.

        • abacus on 29/12/2016 - 01:43
          -1

          My 5 year old Eneloops are all 2000maH and they are all over that rating when freshly charged. I have plenty of batteries and rotate them so I can afford to do an overnight charge. Obviously, if you can't use rechargeables then use alkaline.

          This totally explains why my Smart TV remote keeps telling me it's low with a AAA Eneloop battery

        I use them for remotes and clocks because they don't melt down when they go flat. Many devices are almost useless without a remote, and a leaky alkaline battery can do a LOT of damage.

        NiMh batteries CAN damage your remote, but only if they have been abused (e.g. overcharging) and are leaking electrolyte. The damage isn't nearly as bad as that caused by Alkaline batteries.

      Non-removable embedded Li-Ion batteries age with use and eventually can't hold enough charge. The (typical) non-removable batteries found in most tablets, some phones (and so forth) make it hard for the average layman to replace them, let alone source them cheaply some years down the line.

      AA/AAAs (and C and D-sized adapters for them) can be used in:

      • external camera flashes
      • wireless flash triggers
      • portable stereos (usually with c/d adapter)
      • voice recorders
      • travel shavers / groomers / trimmers
      • portable AM/FM radios
      • graphing calculators (Casio Classpad, Ti89, etc.)
      • wireless mic sets
      • some condenser mics require an AAA/AA
      • countless toys
      • countless radio control units need several AA/AAA
      • some noise-cancelling earphones/headphones
      • Wii remotes
      • xbox 360 wireless controllers
      • some motion-activated LEDs / kitchen cupboard lights too
      • bike lights
      • headlalmps
      • torches
      • some walkie talkies
      • some third-party and first-party walkie talkie battery packs require several AA/AAA
      • kitchen timers
      • guitar tuners
      • wireless keyboards and nice…

    The pack that has the Smart & quick charger inc 4 AA batteries for $59 (before discount) has the bq-cc16 charge. Does anyone know the difference between the bq-cc16 (smart & quick) vs the bq-cc17 (advanced) chargers? The reason that I ask is because Amazon doesnt seem to sell the bq-cc16, but only sells the bq-cc17 (https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-K-KJ17MCA4BA-Individual-Rec…). If the Advanced charger (bq-cc17) is better, its cheaper to buy from amazon.

    *** Nevermind. I found the answer here: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?399381-Te…. I looks like bq-cc17 is a SLOW/SMART charger, where was the bq-cc16 is a QUICK/SMART charger.

    For me (since there is no Bing Lee in Brisbane for pickup ), It works out cheaper to buy the Ikea charger for $15 and the Ikea 4pack battery for $8.99. The Ikea charger is a Quick/Smart charger which is comparable to the Panasonic bq-cc16 and the Ikea Battery is 2450mAh which is comparable to the Eneloop Pro. At a $23.99 total for the ikea charger and 4pack battery, its cheaper then getting the $59 panasonic eneloop charger (delivered or pickup).

    Guys just remember even the cheap Aldi, Ikea etc are good if all you need is general purpose batteries. If you use the right charger they will last at least 400 cycles which when you pay less than $10 for a pack of 4, it makes sense.

    I have rechargeable batteries in torches, night lights, mouses, kids toys and many other items. Have saved heaps in battery costs.

    Thornton NSW have a fair few normal Eneloops and chargers, about 5 or so AAA packs of the pro when I was there. Only 1 pack of pro AA on the shelf, but people have called up and had a few set aside behind counter.
    Also thanks OP for posting, needed some AA's for my Gameboy :)

    According to Keith from Bing Lee
    "good afternoon sorry all Panasonic batteries and chargers are sold out thanks"
    and
    "no sorry not being replrnished at this stage"
    No Stock, deal over?

    I may have took the smart charger and pro battery that was allocated to someone else. Went to a Bing Lee store and found the smart charger and pro battery on the shelf. After I took them to the counter the manager instructed the staff to remove them from the shelf immediately because they are sold out and are allocated. They still allowed me to buy them. So to anyone who choose pick up from store, I suggest you go and pick your order soon. The smart charger and pro battery is listed online as sold out.

    I had to come into this thread to see what the mysterious "eneloop" was.

    I see the word everywhere. Flying through threads like a crazy Rainbow Parakeet.

    "But does it compare to the eneloop" I hear people whisper.

    "Remember the eneloop?" They say.

    "What is this creature?" I've wondered more than once.

    Is it a big life sized rabbit, like the one in Donnie Darko but cute, bright and fluffy, creating coupons for everyone?

    Or, a Jeeves-like robot, like the one in Benchwarmers who makes you a sandwich with the crusts cut off, and dusts your collection of hard earned bargains….

    I clicked the link. Fingers shaking, Palm starting to perspire. It's here. The day I meet it. The eneloop-oop-oop-oop-oop.

    The thread loads up. Will I read it? No. I'll just click Go To Deal.

    I'm ready. I click. It's loads. Scroll down! Quick!

    I see it!!! It's…. It's…

    …. batteries!

    Oh, ok. Umm, they must be really really good :)

    Long Live the Eneloop!

  • philart on 29/12/2016 - 23:23

    I have Eneloops and I also have Imedion
    and Aldi branded rechargables -the AA are rated at 2100 but my La Crosse charger counts up to 23-2400 mah when slow charged and at $5.99/4 it's less than half the price of half priced eneloops.

  • nuno on 30/12/2016 - 09:50

    deal gone. stock exhausted. well done ozbargainers lol.

  • AlexG on 30/12/2016 - 10:12
