Thanks OP, was just thinking to get some batteries
Says there's none left - "seller doesn't have that many left" and I've only got one in my cart.
The problem is what is the expiry date? 6 months from now or 3 years from now?
All over red rover
Aldi lsd rechargeables are $5.99 for a 4 pack. Better for the environment.
Also don't forget you should never dispose of batteries in general waste. Aldi & Battery World have drop off bins for used batteries. I think Ikea does as well.
Thanks. Tried recycling a box of old batteries that had been collected over time a while back. Can't remember where, maybe council recycling or tip battery section but was told not interested and just chuck them in the general rubbish bin.
Probably not AAA, AA, D, C etc but laptop, phone and other electronic device batteries may be different. Car ones may need to be recycled differently.
Council is probably only interested in lead acid batteries. School and library around me also have the battery recycle bins. You can search here to see if any nearby.
Also, I've tried the Aldi LSD's (well, about 6 months ago) but can't recommend them, the AA and AAA's were all under rated capacity.
Apparently the new Ikea ones are pretty good. I was previously buying Turnigy but not sure if the shipping is cost effective any more.Councils are only interested in things that make or at least don't cost them money. Preferably the first one.
nah, ive put two sets of aldi's rc's through the real world using thier charger and a c9000, the aldi's crap out real quick for anything fun to use…
Not at my local battery world in Frankston, said it was too much hassle regarding ppl just dropped off the batteries, never spent money in the store and also cost him noney to get rid of the batteries … Had to walk out with a big tub of used batteries..
"Works effectively in high-drain devices" is true, don't store them for later as they leak!
Yep it's always been Duracells that leak in my calculator and stuff, never had an issue with Energizers.
True, they leaked and killed my xbox controller - but the support from duracell was great - they sent a cheque to cover the cost of replacing the controller.
Yep, I got a brand new Maglite when some Ducacell D cells leaked and swelled up in the tube unable to be removed.
It's the only time Duracells have done that to me, and to be honest I reckon because they are so popular there are bound to be horror stories online about them being crap. But yeah… no issues with me buying Duracell in the future. At least they stick by their product.
This is an excellent bargain, but eneloops give better dividends over the long term :P
I'm a big fan of rechargeables. The best part is that you always have fully charged batteries available. My batteries last over ten years.
Bulk disposable AAA batteries in 2017. LOL.
Get some toddlers, and their 50,000 plastic toys that all need batteries…. and believe me that LOL will be wiped from your face :).
I ain't putting my Eneloops in that crap!And when the toy inevitably gets broken, or lost, or stolen, or abducted by aliens… you aren't stressing about good batteries.
Seriously- I've lost count how many toys by boys have that need AAA or AA cells. But my eneloops are safe and sound in my devices only.
Couldn't agree more! After my son was born and I started using (and losing) my eneloop batteries in his toys my collection has gone down by 50%. No more Eneloops in children's toys for me.Too much stress to handle!
- broken toys: retrieve batteries before disposal? Highly unusual for the batteries to suffer damage, I'd say. Most batteries these days are behind a screwed-on battery compartment cover, making it difficult to remove without tools.
- lost toys: over the neighbour's fence? out-and-about?
- stolen toys: anything can be stolen I guess; high value and low value items, but that can't be that common, right?
Eneloops pay for themselves quickly, assuming you get any decent usage out of them. I think the main thing holding people back is the image that AA/AAA rechargeables don't hold their charge well. That hasn't been true for the past 10 years or so, in the case of eneloops. Cheap spacers can be found for many different-sized devices (C, D, etc.).
say that to my wife when she does the weekly toybox cleanup! every time a r/c toy is broken she just chucks the toy and remote in the bin. As you have correctly mentioned "Most batteries these days are behind a screwed-on battery compartment cover, making it difficult to remove without tools".
A lost eneloop will never pay for itself. Some toys use 5 or 6 Eneloops, and many times these Eneloops cost more than the toy they are in :)Umm… a couple of rebuttals to your dot points :).
Exactly! difficult to remove without tools. I'm not worried about the batteries suffering damage, I'm worried about having to unscrew panels every time a toy needs to be disposed of. Seriously it sounds easy, but when you have to do it on a pretty much weekly basis (I now have a screwdriver set in the kitchen!) you get tired of it pretty quick.
Spoken like someone not a parent :). Lost at the shops, lost in the car, lost in one of the hundreds of storage boxes, lost in the backyard, lost under the fridge or couch, lost behind the TV. Lost anywhere the kids decide to leave them, and it doesn't have to be permanent… just lost and therefore unusable, requiring more batteries for the next toy.
The stolen/abducted by aliens was the joke bit… the point being toys are 'misplaced' almost daily, and often never seen again for months.
In summary, $10 for 36 batteries beats the hell out of $10 for 2 or 3 eneloops.
Don't get me wrong, I love eneloops. But you'd have to be Rockefeller to use them in all the kids toys.say that to my wife when she does the weekly toybox cleanup! every time a r/c toy is broken she just chucks the toy and remote in the bin.
4 problems here:
* toys breaking too easily (and presumably far too much)
* inability of wife to learn about taking the batteries out before throwing them out
* way too much waste (toys and disposable batteries)
* way too much money wastedNot very sustainable (or economical) on multiple levels. If you can afford that sort of waste…
@cheepwun: as mentioned above spoken like someone not a parent. Who told you that kids are economical? :)
Nobody told me kids are economical. But nobody told me that simple things can't be learned (like taking batteries out of dead devices before toy disposal) either.
And nobody told me that constantly buying new toys to replace broken ones that have been disposed of is cheap either. If you can afford to constantly dispose toys or replace lost ones, money probably isn't a very big obstacle, and therefore buying eneloops can be placed in the 'easy' basket, and so can remembering to take them out if a toy gets broken (or to keep better track of them).
Buying disposables is simply spending more…not less.
@cheepwun: In theory everything you say sounds good…real life is much different though! Don't tell me you will be washing your future kids cloth nappies just because "Buying disposables is simply spending more"!
We had sooooooooo many plans to use cloth nappies and save so much money on those 'little things'. I had it all worked out. No way we were going to spend $30 on a box of nappies. No way.
Unfortunately however, there's thinking… and then there's doing.
Cheepwun. I implore you to reserve your judgement until you become a parent, and then do it again (and again)… so you are neck deep in "doings"… so deep in fact that "thinkings" are a distant memory of another life now completely foreign to your current reality :). And then, THEN talk to us about logic and reason and sustainability and economics.
Because, your logic and my logic are both correct. They are!
Buuuuuttt, your reality and my reality are completely different. We live on different planets with different laws of physics, different atmospheres, different gravitational forces. The very air on my planet seems harder to breathe. Laboured, like I'm always tired ;).Children will abduct you one day from the planet and life you live now, and you will never return.
And I could sit here and type out a 10000 word essay describing my world and its wonders.
You'll get an idea and form some sort of rudimentary thought process on it and read up on it (researching it until you are virtually an expert), but its unimaginable. Unfathomable. Only by visiting my planet will you truly understand it. Different laws of physics. Up is down. Right is Wrong. Spare time is no longer the abundant tiresome boring thing you know it to be. In fact it ceases to be! Its no longer part of your world or even vocabulary.So believe me when I tell you this.
You were 100% right in your first comment. Disposables in 2017? LOL. My word yes. LOL.
In YOUR world.But there will be a day in the future (post abduction), that what I type here will resonate with you and this comment will come flooding back into your memory word for word. It'll hit you like the proverbial apple hitting Newtons head, and your newfound theory of relativity will be formed.
And then you'll go buy some disposable batteries out of desperate necessity. At specific times, they will be the most important thing in the world to you 'at that time'. And a "LOL" will be the furthest thing from your mind (unless its a maniacal I'm going to burn the mofo down LOL!). You will gladly stab someone for a pack of disposable AAA batteries. Because those gravitational forces I spoke of earlier? Holy hell are they strong, and they make absolutely no bloody sense whatsoever. But you do it because you welcome your new alien overlords into your life.
Trust me :).
Good night and good luck to you sir!
@UFO:
There is no chance in any lifetime (kids and grandkids or not) that I will ever knowingly buy a disposable AAA/AA. Aversions. Let me tell you about aversions. I have aversions to needless waste & needless cost. I have aversions to short-term consumption and disposal. Disposables that come bundled with new products make me want to puke, but these are the only AA and AAA disposables I have entered my hands: products that have them already bundled.2 magnetic poles of the same type = repulsion. Not gonna happen in my lifetime. There is no reason for me to buy them, so they will never be bought. You cannot insert any story into my life and tell me that I will change. Hasn't happened and is not going to happen. Keep in mind I have been buying rechargeables since the Ni-CD days. Not merely the last 10 years of eneloop. Rechargeables don't require any major (or minor) lifestyle adjustment. But do pay back handsomely. Reduced cost and waste.
Good night and good luck to you sir!
You too :)
K ;).
I've been buying rechargeables for a long time too. Arlec Nicads from the 1980's were my first. I always say never say never… and I guess we will see whether principles outweigh sanity and need to live as time goes on ;). I wish you the best of luck :).
Damn good batteries in their day!
Powered my radio controlled Jet Hopper for ages :).

Haha, yes. I forgot I had one until you mentioned it. This was probably my main reason for getting into rechargeables back then, now that I think about it. The capacity on those Arlec cells steadily improved as time went on and they released improved versions. They were the stuff.
just missed TT
Mine arrived today. Chinese stock, like the ones you buy at hot dollar. Still happy for the price
I was just considering posting this!
