expired 8x AA Eneloop Rechargeable Glitter Batteries at DSE $19.99 + Postage
This was posted 11 months 3 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
Some of you have been holding out waiting for the Eneloop Glitter batteries to come on special, and here they are.
No longer available for click and collect. Booo.
Postage looks to be $4.95, maybe more if you're out in the sticks, just enter your postcode to find out before you order.
Copied from the website unedited:
Just as the classical eneloop, the eneloop glitter batteries get pre-charged at the Japanese factory with electric power, which is generated from solar energy. For this reason the batteries are ready to use directly after being purchased. Thanks to its low self discharge eneloop glitter keeps approximately 75% of its initial charge even after 3 years of storage. Like eneloop, eneloop glitter can get recharged up to 1500 times. The batteries are having a nominal voltage of 1,2V and a rating capacity of2000 mAh.
Additionally the limited edition packs include batteries in 8 different glitter colors: purple, pink, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, silver and black, which enables users to pick colors according to their taste or to use colors to remember which batteries are charged and which ones need to be recharged.

redhotchilli on 18/07/2012 - 08:53 ¶What about these eneloop copies for $5.59 (free shipping) worth a punt? http://www.gadgets-n-gizmos.com/newsletter/NL20120717.html?u...
Yesterday I purchased 2 x 4pk of 800mAh from MyMemory.co.uk for total including postage of GBP18.05 = approx AUD $27.67 using 28Degrees card. I have had good experiences in past SD card purchases from MyMemory with quick delivery from the UK.
Price is GBP 16.10 (i.e. 2pks x GBP 8.05 each) plus GBP 1.95 postage.

+6 votesThe system can be a bit silly with things like this.
Click and Collect sends an order to the store's computer with the pricing from the website, but you can only put one through where stock is high enough. When stock is low (typically 1 or 2 units) you can't do a C+C. Dick Smith doesn't price match online stores, and that includes their own website so for low stock stores, you can't get this price from them.
Generally with online only prices like this, you can't do a C+C, so I suspect it might have been a mistake to have that option available. That being said, if you are able to get a successful C+C through, the store will honour it as long as stock is available.

They won't display this price in store, you either have to order online for collection or mailout. Still waiting to see if anyone successfully collects any from a store at this price, it should be possible but some stores are already knocking people back that call up to check stock when the site tells them to do so.
Tried to order online and it wouldnt let me choose pick up. Rang them and they were out of stock. Literally checking OzBargain on my mobile 10 minutes earlier when there was no deal. 5 minutes later I was in the store checking the 8 pack of sparkly batteries. Then I get home and find the deal - AAArg
Not missing out for the 3rd time - Ordered online delivery - Done.

silverrat23 on 17/07/2012 - 16:32 ¶What charger should I use for these? Can I use my Energizer ones that came out some five years ago?
scytherbladez on 17/07/2012 - 17:58 ¶"In respect of charging, eneloop batteries can be treated like normal NiMH batteries. This means they can be charged with any modern charger, which is suitable for NiMH batteries."
batiudrami on 17/07/2012 - 18:08 ¶This seems to be the cheapest charger I can find. Does it look like there's anything wrong with it?
http://www.vtechindustries.com.au/a4-tech-cg-100-portable-us...
Is it a smart charger?
If not then I would get a smart charger.
http://dicksmith.com.au/product/S4460/eneloop-usb-charger-wi...
Thats a smart charger. Detects when the battery is full and stops charging.
Cheapo chargers have a timer, so if you put a battery in that is half full, when its fully charge the charger will continue to charge as the timer is still going. That can overheat and kill batteries.
Thanks for the link, but DSE's web site says:
- no stock &
- no longer available
We agree on risks from over-charging…
I do hope DSE isn't dropping that charger, because it might -extend- the life of the batteries it's used to charge, while other
chargers may -reduce- cells' useful life (eg, due to over-charging with excess voltages)…? :-/- batiudrami on 17/07/2012 - 19:50 ¶
Well it says it has:
LED charging status indicators
Automatic charge cut-offDoes that make it a smart charger? Those specs could also refer to a timer…
I got it. I also checked the specs on Sanyo.
Its a smart charger.Didn't realise it was out of stock. They had lots of them last months ago.
Maybe this:
http://dicksmith.com.au/product/S4462/eneloop-quick-charger-...I got that also and its a smart charger. Charge two or four batteries to charge at a normal charge rate.
+1 voteI've still got my glitter batteries from the last deal, unopened, because I got thoroughly confused as to which charger I should use for them. The link above to the eneloop quick charger - is that a reasonable price, and is that what will work best with these batteries (I really know nothing about chargers!)
The only look that matters is what an Oscilloscope can tell you… eg, waveform, voltage levels, etc.
…and maybe a thermometer… eg, are the cells being "cooked" by over-voltage "fast-charging" rates?
(A certain maker of small, 2-way handheld radios was shipping 2 different chargers for the same radio; one made caused excess heat in the -costly- proprietary radio-battery; the other didn't, as it supplied a lower voltage. Beyond a -possible- fire-risk, from excess charging-voltages, the usable life of the costly batteries can be reduced; making them cost more to operate, in the long term. The advice was to give the higher-voltage supplying charger a miss, & enjoy longer battery life & lower operating costs, over the life of the radio.)

I thought the glitter versions were the older 1000x recharge type, but according to the spiel, they're also 1500x now.
