It's not usually a part of their range as far as I am aware, have never seenb them before so I think it may be a limited time offer.
is this available in other Costco?
Not too sure, I would assume so however I personally haven't checked. Hopefully if others see them at other stores they will comment and I will update the post!
Do they have AAA battery packs too?
No not AAA only packs, but they had 8xAA, 4xAAA + battery charger for $39.95
I missed the Eneloop deals. RIP DSE :(
So do I! :(
yea :(
cheaper buying ikea LADDA
While I agree, reports I have read on here from others suggest that these last longer and have more recharge cycles. The other problem I have is IKEA is much further away and a pain to go to just for some batteries.
From the research I've done, it seems they are rebranded Eneloop Pro with 500 Charge Cycle. Exact same specs, produced in Japan with the white tips.
500 is more then 4 times less than the 2100 these have?
You are absolutely correct, but the key point is 8pk of LADDA is $18.98, with suspected Eneloop Pro batteries (500 cycles). Who would ever charge a battery 2100 times at 8 hours each. That's 700 days straight.
LOL, yeah, this is a point that is serially overlooked… unless you are YODA or a VAMPIRE, it seems unlikely that 500 recharges would not be enough… especially if you have A FEW batteries, and are not just constantly recharging the same set of 4 or 8 …
@pranksta: Plus the Laddas have a min of 2450mah usually around 2500-2550mah and these have a rating of 1900-2000mah which is usually the max.
500 is a lot of recharges and all these products age or are superceded.
Also quality of charger influences how long they will last.
@XioamiGuy: Uh.. I'm trying to catch all the Pokemon in Pokemon Crystal on my Gameboy Color in the shitter (no power point within range). This means I have to play both Pokemon Gold and Silver too, as I don't have friends to trade with…
@XioamiGuy: Valid points, but I am still happy with these when compared to making a specific trip to IKEA, maybe if I need a large amount it will be more viable.
Grabbed these same ones from costco last time there were there, probably a year ago. Still haven't opened them! And usually Costco has same products nationwide
Thank you OP for reigniting the Eneloop excitement we once had when Dick (Smith Electronics) was around.
Finding then was rather nostalgic, thought I should share the love!
These are the Made in China Eneloops, not as good as the original Made in Japan Eneloops produced by the FDK factory.
Yes. Holds charge up to 5 years. The made in japan ones say "10 years".And there are other quality differences as well.For a common customer who just wants a rechargeable battery it may not make much of a difference but i have stopped buying these chinaloops.
I prefer to pay more and Buy from Amazon or https://ru.nkon.nl/rechargeable/aa-size.html to get Made in Japan eneloops.
I wonder who to contact if it's playing up on year 9
As a long standing OZB member, it would be blasphemy not to own at least a pack or 10 of the old Sanyo Eneloops.
I buy heaps of AA batteries as I have a son who has lots of toys. I put them in the toys and rarely do I see them again as they get bored of them quickly.
These days I just buy Aldi ones, $6 for 4. So cheap enough.
I've never compared the difference between the Aldi and Eneloops in a test, but what is the actual difference when used for toys, remote controls etc?
Am I likely to see any difference over my lifetime? On average, each battery get charged once a year. Even the most frequently used batteries would be charged once every 2 months if that.I also found Aldi AAA rechargeable battery has higher capacity too…
China or Japan? that's the key question…I think only PRO is japan made.
Chocolate eneleeops are pretty poor quality, worse ones I ever owned.
They are made in China
Which is the best charger for these.
I've got a generic/std Duracell one which I'm pretty sure is not good enough for these batteries.
Use the search tool on ozb , plenty of threads about this. I use a lii-500.
I have maha charger, pretty good warranty period, managed to get a replacement on year two
Is that a discount from their standard price?
