I guess you're not as amped about this deal as we are…
However this is a pretty good deal! Saves you having to manually check up on Dick Smith's "Low Stock" when they have it at this price lol
At least they don't charge an arm and a leg
Gotta admit though, my past experiences with COTD have left me feeling rather drained
Sounds like you need a recharge.
i see what you did there
We all did.
Buzzinga!
I really don't have the energy to decipher all the puns at 5:17am
low energy levels?
I really don't have the energy to decipher all the puns at 5:17am
There's really not that much work involved
Maybe you need to be revolted
Twas a pun-in-disguise :o
Are these genuine?
Yes. Why wouldn't they've ?
Why would not they have what?
Genuine Eneloop batteries? ;)
Oh well, let it be.
Does the shipping get removed further down the order process? It is currently showing a shipping charge in my cart.
Edit: yes, the shipping gets removed.
yes it does get removed
Yeah it does….
They're baaaaack. The Ke$ha of Eneloops.
They run on crack?
no more batteries for me
still got some did not open it yetI've still not used the two packs of glitter AA batteries I bought from DSE last year for the same price.
Ran out of devices that use AA batteries. Any suggestions?
I could do with more AAAs though.
Console controllers?
Thanks but I've got an induction charger for the Wii controllers and it uses AAAs.
You could use up ten making a 12v 20AH car battery - just replace your alternator with a Maha charger.
That's a novel idea. Could use it as an emergency backup for a one-shot attempt to start the car if it works. But I suspect it would not have sufficient cranking amp to do it.
And something tells me you'd be better off with an $80 emergency car jump starter than a handful of glittery batteries :P
But the glitter in these batteries will help you chase down motorists
I use them for my baby's toys,my canon 580 flash, xbox controllers, as powerbank(they are not that bad)
ill have them!
Ran out of devices that use AA batteries. Any suggestions?
- some bike lights
- Panasonic blood pressure monitors (amazon.com)
- some graphing calculators
- some regular calculators
- some digital kitchen timers
- most guitar tuners
- some kitchen scales
- some clocks
- Wii remote controllers
- regular remotes
- wireless keyboards
- some audio recorders
- camera flash units
- many toys
- some portable travel shavers
- some gimmicky regular razors
- some wireless mic packs
- some condenser microphones
- some external USB phone chargers use AAs
The last item on your list is one which was on my mind but I'd forgotten about. Thanks for reminding me. Yes, it could be handy for field trips if I could find a small charger. How efficient are these? How many AAs do you need to get a full charge on your phone or ipod and how long would that take?
How many AAs do you need to get a full charge on your phone or ipod and how long would that take?
Depends on your phone and charger. The more popular models from China use 18650-sized batteries instead of AA. You might be familiar with them already. These batteries look a bit like AAs but aren't. They use lithium-ion technology. There are those USB power banks that take 4 of these 18650 batteries & they pack quite a punch.

(buy separate 18650 cells)Also 3-battery models:
http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10002784/1381305-enb-enb-…
(buy separate 18650 cells)Some come bundled with cells. You can also buy 6-battery units and so on. Look around. Apparently Sanyo and Panasonic are the top dogs for quality with the batteries (fyi: Sanyo was bought by Panasonic a while ago, so today they are basically the same company). Then you can buy models that have embedded batteries, but I don't tend to like those. I like batteries that can easily be removed and replaced in future as they age and don't hold enough capacity. Anyway search for power bank on that site for more results.
Simpler AA models like this are apparently very good value for many too, and at the price…who can complain?
http://www.fasttech.com/product/1286307-2aa-battery-powered-…Good luck in the hunt.
Any suggestions?
There are things that vibrate…
Cool - thanks - ordered a couple of packs
What charger do people recommend for these batteries?
Maha MH-C9000 hands down but they are expensive but they are the Rolls Royce in terms of maximising your battery life.
That's actually not bad. Now that I own 24 batteries, a second charger might come in handy.
Looks like it has four LED's too, so likely has independent charge channels.
Someone asked about independent charging and auto cut off in the discussion section and one of the staff members replied saying that the charger does have those functions.
Are the 40x AA Duracell @ $18.70 cheap?
If for once use, it's not a bad deal.
However the Eneloops can be recharged 1500 times, saving you more money over the long term. Better for the environment and less prone to leakage which can damage expensive devices.Sometimes, Duracells are better if you are going somewhere you don't want to carry chargers around, or when kids remove flat batteries from their toys and chuck it in the bin.
I know, that's what I mean by once use
I have had way too many Duracells leak. I don't touch them any more.
Ah good, been looking for some more of these… So does that mean the CotD site is back up after their stupid flash sale? Or is it still going?
What sale? You mean paid lottery?
yeah sale implies stock on hand, my bad
All running normally again. You shouldn't have any problem placing an order.
Other than the La Crosse Technology BC-700 and the Maha MH-C9000 are there any other suggestions for rechargers? Or are these two worth the money you pay for them?
I guess there are others that are worth considering but you certainly can't look past the Maha MH-C9000 or the La Crosse BC-700 (and BC-1000). I'm very happy with my Maha MH-C9000 and bought it from http://eu.nkon.nl quite a while back for a good price. It's definitely worth the money, in my opinion.
Those two are worth the money definitely. But if you can't spare the money, this panasonic charger will do the job without harming your batteries: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001890/1136300-authenti…
Yeah reviews are unbelievable on both of them. Where do you suggest buying one of them from. I can see the La Crosse for around the $55 delivered on ebay. Is that a good price? The ones i see for around the $30 mark have the US plug, and id rather not use an adaptor.
Buy the la crosse from Amazon. Cheapest price.
thanks, just bought one.
Thats an excellent price for the Panasonic charger.
Is that one recommended by Candlepower? I seem to remember there was ONE model that was a cheap standout…. perhaps I am thinking of the Eneloop chargers, anyway one of them was a smart charger but not particularly branded as such. You had to know the specific model number.Sorry late reply. This one is recommended by budgetlightforum. A guy there did an extensive review of it and found it to be a good low-end smart charger.
My other charger is a Maha MH-C401FS. It has independent charging circuits which is important to make sure that each battery is topped up to its fullest capacity.
How about an AAA deal?
Keep an eye on these which get posted on Ozbargain from time to time http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25024__Turnigy_AA…
I'd stick with eneloops. I tried AA Turnigy rechargeables. I got a batch of 8 and they definitely discharge faster in devices left on standby and a few of them have problem charging on my BC-700.
I have a heap of Turnigy AAA's and they have been great.
BlueAnt Embrace Premium Stereo Headphones are these good?
Wish COTD rep QQQ is around to give us another fantastic deal on the Led lensers torches!!!
If you like LED Lenser, you should give Fenix torches a go.
Are these the clearance stock from DSE sale months ago for $10 a pack? If so COTD is making $10 profit a pack for buying them off DSE and resell it for $20. Good money.
Yes, because that's the way COTD fills its massive warehouse, by having its minions run around buying off discount stock from internet sales. They probably received these eneloops by the pallet load.
Whats the difference between the other eneloop batteries. There look to be around 4 other types.
You had me at glitter. I now own 24 of these dammit.
Must remember: All that glitters is not (24ct) gold.
What about this deal on Amazon?
Sanyo SEC-N16SETEVP eneloop Super Power Pack, 2000mAh Typical, 1900mAh Minimum, 1500 cycle, 12AA, 4AAA, 2 C and 2 D Spacers, 4 Position Charger, and Storage Case
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0058N6JUE/ref=ox_sc_act_ti…$45.19 + $12.97(Postage) = $58.16
Thanks OP,
Don't think I've ever paid the full retail price of these batteries! and I own 4 sets now.. they are really good for using in my canon 580 EX II flash :D
Come to think of all those batteries I have some that have grown legs and walked away .. -_- I blame the wife lol
…and/or kids.
no kids yet! ;)
Hide the batteries and you might get some…
…or you get a very angry, frustrated wife…
hah! very funny!
Daylight savings sucks. Either all states should have it, or they should all not have it. I'm going to write a letter to someone who can make a real difference tomorrow:
Dear Sir/Madam/Time Lord,
Please fix Daylight Savings so us Queenslanders don't miss out on shiny rechargeable battery bargains.
damn work, I miss this by a few minutes :(
Batteries are still selling for $19.95, however, free shipping has ended.
God damn it! Forgot about daylight savings time and put in an order expecting the shipping to be taken away but it didn't, as I thought once you went to PayPal you could review the order before submitting it. Guess I was wrong, $10.95 shipping! Should have thrown in a few more things to make it at least partway worth it.
Ya, 3 hrs time zone diff after the day light saving is crazy. When in WA we finish our lunch break people in eastern states are off work and have gone home.
Plus COTD over inflated shipping cost? This deal is as good as dead.
Depends on your postcode. Delivery for 5 Packs is $9.40 to Sydney or Melbourne, which is not at all unreasonable. Obviously more to other locations.
Can anyone recommend a fast charger that will charge under an hour ? I have the Verta 15 minute charger but that is really fussy with what batteries it wants to charge.
Fussy, because you already have some damaged batteries with high internal resistance that may well overheat and rupture…
Do you really a fast charger?
One of the key advantages of low self discharge rechargeables and ideas underpinning their development, relates to having enough of them charged (and holding onto their charge) at any given point in time, such that you don't need to fry them in a bloody fast-charger when the time comes to juice them. Dramatically lessens their life if you do.Keep in mind also that the best non-lsd high-capacity NiMH's (quoted at 2700mAh) (if you're not looking to charge Eneloops at all) are in practical reality virtually identical in capacity to current generation XX Eneloops.
If you have stocks of old non-lsd batteries (high or low capacity), that you're looking to use up - and which aren't already too damaged - that's fine. Otherwise, avoid.
Sorry - that was quite a rant…
Science says you can.
They're just bloody batteries, can't beat energiser.
Sanyo Eneloop (now Panasonic Eneloop) batteries are low-self-discharge batteries.
www.eneloop.infoThey won't lose charge as easily as other rechargeable batteries, so you won't need to top them up constantly if they remain in storage, as long as you keep them relatively cool. Eneloop batteries were the first on the market to market themselves as such (and to be sold pre-charged too). They can be used in high-drain and low-drain devices successfully.
I honestly don't know whether you are referring to disposable or rechargeable Energiser batteries. Either way, I prefer eneloop.
can't beat Energisers.
I have used Eveready Energiser rechargeable before.
As they don't hold the charge for an extended period it often means that they are Never ready when you need them in a hurry.
For any warranty issues, I would rather deal with DS then COTD.
Have you ever had a warranty issue with an Eneloop?
All manufacturing goods are never 100% perfect. Eneloop comes with 12mths warranty and if you happened to have a dud one, good luck getting a satisfactory response through COTD.
No doubt - but would you really pay 25% more than the original COTD deal to get them from DSE for the better warranty on a nearly faultless item?
Will vote + if it's from another merchant. My past experiences makes me stay away from COTD. They may have improved, but bad images can't be cleared.
Deal itself is good.
