Cheap Eneloops at Dickies again!

No click and collect, online only.

Postage looks to be $4.95, maybe more if you're out in the sticks, enter postcode to find out before you order. I've tried a few random but apparently valid numbers and they all spat out $4.95.

Update: URL I had posted stopped working but it seems the product is still available, new URL added. It doesn't picture 2 packs but the description says it's for 2 packs.

    If you want to click and collect you can order a 4 pack for $22. Order 2x 4 packs and pickup to save $1 when compared to this deal.

      I know it's early, but am I missing something here? It looks to me that what you're suggesting is to spend $44 pickup on what you can get for $25 delivered. Need coffee, confused.

      Edit: Okay, after another coffee and a couple of facepalms, I can only conclude that the above poster has missed the fact that this bargain is for TWO 4 packs of eneloops.

    You buy these because they last many times longer than the cheap regular rechargeable batteries. So you never have to recharge as often. Seemed to be forever charging the regular type ones.

    I have some AAA in a Marantz programmable remote control and they last many months with lots of daily use, compared to the 3 weeks or so with the cheap nasty regular rechargeable batteries. Also AA in a 360 controller they don't go flat as quickly if I don't often use the controller.

    Eneloop AAs are 1.2V according to their datasheet. So like many rechargable batteries you will have problems if your device needs 1.5V to work properly.

      Very true. I have seen high power torches and, most commonly high power flash camera lights take a long time to be ready again compared to normal batteries.

    •  
      mooboy on 25/05/2012 - 10:48

      Most 1.5V batteries only start at 1.5V. I believe they drop to below 1.2V well before run out of charge. In the meantime, there are some devices sush as "high power flash camera lights" which recharge FASTER with rechargable batteries.

    johnno07 on 21/05/2012 - 09:04

    Wondering if I can tap into the great minds of Ozbargain here. Is there such thing as a 1.6v NiMh rechargeable AAA? The only 1.6v rechargeables I cab find are of the NiZn variety (which means a new charger). I'm looking specifically for 1.6v as they are to be used in a camera flash.

    EDIT: After a bit more research, it appears that NiMh rechargeables are limited to 1.2v.

    I really want to buy these batteries as I have a z96 LED video light that flickers with normal batteries after a few minutes so it ruins takes and I've heard that Eneloops are the solution.

    But, can I charge this with my Duracell Battery charger? It's an NiMH batter charger:

    Model: CEF14AU
    Input: AC 100 - 240v 50/60Hz 8W
    Output: 5.6V DC 360mA (4 AA NiMH) 2.8 DC 160mA (2 AAA NiMH)

    Thanks a bunch guys!

    EDIT: just realised that I will probably use them in my Canon 600D DSLR when I get a battery grip as well, Eneloops would probably be cheaper and last longer than the Canon battery.

      If you were running alkaline or heavy duty batteries, the Eneloop (NiMH) will be better. They are able to maintain current output much better than alkaline and heavy duty batteries.

      The charger you mentioned will have no problems charging the batteries. It is not as good as the Maha chargers in optimising the charging of the batteries, but good enough for general use.

      Eneloop are great batteries, which is why you don't see them sold in Woolworths or Coles, they don't want you do use them, because if you start using them, you'll probably never buy Energizer or Duracell Alkaline batteries ever again.

      •  
        brake on 21/05/2012 - 13:07

        Thanks Haz! Would the charge be just like normal or do I have to do something else? EG" when the LED on the charges indicates they're ready, would they need extra charge or anything?

        •  
          haz on 23/05/2012 - 11:22

          Just charge the batteries as normal. The standard charge cycle in these chargers should still charge the battery to a reasonably good level. It may also overcharge if the battery is not empty. Once the led says it's ready, it is not going to do much, it will either trickle charge at a very slow rate or stop completely. This charger is not much different to the standard charger that Sanyo sells with the Eneloops in Australia. The life cycle of the battery may be affected, but in the scale of things, not significant to be of a concern. I have used Eneloop since they came out for over 6 years and have been using smart and dumb chargers and all the batteries are still going strong, no batteries have died so far. My advice is not to use those 15 minute or 1 hour chargers, unless in an emergency. The fast chargers are not so good for the batteries life cycle.

          If you wish to ensure you prolong the batteries want to ensure you fully charge the batteries. This is something to buy or invest in. You can break-in new batteries, as well as analyse and 'refresh' the batteries. I have one of these, and it's good to use to check up on the batteries condition as well as charge them.

    martian_rob on 22/05/2012 - 16:32

    FYI - my little bargain meister pals - The Choice test on 23/9/11 rated Sanyo Eneloops second best overall out of 15 models tested, but best-in-test in terms of retaining their capacity after multiple recharges. The Kodak rechargeable came first,as was better on discharge time, but lasted 100 recharges less than the Eneloop! So the Sanyo looks like a good choice (no pun intended) but if you have a higher drain application, the Kodaks may be worth considering.
    Here is an extract of the Choice testing (I will probably be in trouble for pasting this):-

    "Self-discharging batteries

    Some rechargeable batteries lose some of their power everyday, even when not in use. This continues to be an issue when powering infrequently used devices, such as an emergency torches or cameras, as the batteries will go flat over time. In such situations, alkaline batteries are commonly used because they have a much better shelf life and can be trusted to work even if left unused for a year.
    The Sanyo Eneloop was, in 2006, the first low self-discharge (LSD) battery to deliver a higher capacity for much longer periods compared to other NiMH batteries. It helped make rechargeable batteries a better option for infrequently used devices. The latest low self-discharge (LSD) batteries claim to retain up to 85% of their charge after 12 months of non-use whereas standard NiMH batteries may lose 50% of their charge.
    The ability to immediately use the batteries out of the packet is another handy feature of an LSD or ‘ready to use’ NiMH battery, particularly with the demand to immediately power up the latest birthday or Christmas present.
    We put 15 rechargeable AA batteries to the test to see which ones last longest, can be recharged the most often, and don’t lose their charge when left unused. We included five “ready to use” batteries.

    Models tested

    Arlec CPCD1392
    Duracell 99474895
    Duracell Active Charge 98577668
    Energizer Recharge NH15BP4T
    Eveready RE15BP2T
    Kodak KAARPC-4
    Panasonic HHR-3XPT/2B

    Vapex 92087
    Varta Power Accu 56756 412 404
    Varta Ready2use 56706 412 404

    We also measured two Lithium non rechargeable batteries (Duracell Ultra Lithium and Energizer Ultimate Lithium) and an Alkaline battery (Panasonic Evolta) finding their discharge over the test period to be imperceptible. So if you depend on your device to operate straight away after long periods of inactivity, you still may want to consider a lithium or Alkaline battery for some situations.

    Sanyo Eneloop 4HR 3UTG SAPP 2
    Scored 74/100
    Good points:
    • Ready to use and low self discharge.
    • Best value for the life of the battery.
    • Lasted over 300 recharges before retaining only 50% of its initial capacity, best in test.

    Bad points:
    • Average discharge time significantly less then some of the non LSD models."

    Just got my batteries. I order 2 of tem, so should have got 16 batteries, but they only posted 2x 4AA packs. Called them up, said the other 8 will be posted out ASAP.

    I think the title created the confusion, description and photo showed 8, but title doesn't mention 2 packs, or 8 batteries.
