    Humble bragging against the Ozbargain grain to say I don't own any eneloops, instead choosing these laddas for everything I need batteries for. They have been great, amazing performance for the price.

    • pifts on 10/02/2019 - 13:33

      I think they’re literally the same. So the OzB thing to do would be to get these haha

    • Tigerhacker on 10/02/2019 - 14:12

      Back in the 'Golden Days', Eneloops sold via Dick Smith were MUCH cheaper than these (~$1/pp), so they were a no brainier.

      Various people have tested Laddas and conclude they are suspiciously similar to Eneloops in performance so these are the go to these days.

      So getting Eneloops these days might be the un-OzBargain thing to do

        That is not correct. These are Eneloop pro which rarely or never went on sale. Also the typical dick Smith sale price was 20 bucks per 8.

      I bought these a couple of months ago. Made in Japan.

      I bought the eneloop charger (with included 4 x AA batteries) from bing Lee 50% off last month. They were made in China.

      • Macgyver on 10/02/2019 - 18:21

        That's pretty alright that they are still using old Eneloops at this price.
        Otherwise they might be just from W factory in Japan. I don't think Sanyo ever actually made Eneloops? It was some Japanese battery company I thought.

        They're living back in the 1980's when China churned out low quality crud. Nowadays they're more advanced than the USA and Made in China is not a badge of low quality.

          NiMH cells from China are inferior to the Japanese cells made by FDK (which I believe is the only manufacturer of LSD NiMH cells in Japan).

        • Hybroid on 11/02/2019 - 00:22

          when China churned out low quality crud.

          They still do for the majority of products. However, while I see your point and they certainly do manufacture good quality goods too, in this specific case, tests have been made to show the Chinese-made Ladda batteries are significantly inferior to the specs of the Japanese 'eneloop' ones. Hence the comment which is correct. Pick up the made in Japan ones if they're available.

        • HighAndDry on 11/02/2019 - 12:52

      The brown Ladda I have are made in Japan.

      OP, perhaps modify your comment in the post to say check on the batteries where they were made if one prefers made in Japan vs China. The colour doesn't appear to be a reliable indicator and current statement may lead people to make misinformed purchase decision.

          Conclusion
          The charger is acceptable for occasional usage, but not as a regular charger.

          So the Ikea charger should be fine if you are using the batteries in things like remotes where you only need to charge the batteries occasionally.

          overcharging on the other hand can do a lot of damage.

          The current model is Article Number: 503.036.36 which is not the same as the one in your review

          I have one and it does not only charge based on a timer so they do have a -dv as changing batteries that are not flat takes less than 12 hours.

          My torch happens to take 4 x 18650 batteries so I always charge set by set.
          I've never charged less than 4 batteries at the one time but I don't see why it can't charge 1 or 3 batteries at the one time.

          Best to watch a few clips on youtube.

          You haven't worked in delivery then.
          It takes more effort than most people realise

          • 0.5 minutes to process the order and do paperwork
          • 1.5 minutes to walk to the item
          • 1.5 minutes to walk back to the front of the store
          • 2 minutes to put it on the shelf in the right location and finish paperwork.
          • 3 minutes to process the pickup, find the item, verify your id listen to you complain about paying for something you can do yourself for free

          You're at 8.5 minutes

          Paying someone $23 an hour to do that costs $3.25.
          Ikea doesn't exist to recover costs, they need to make a profit.
          If they make 35% then you're paying $5 for the person's time.

          They also need shelves to store the pickup items and to dedicate part of the store for the pickup items and real estate is expensive.

          Your extra $4 goes towards that.

    Thanks bought 10 packs of AA's….my Turnigy's are annoying me. Not holding charge…some fall below re-charge value and aren't recognized by smart charger (I then have to manually charge them with RC gear to reach smart charger detectable level). I've had them for a few years….maybe they're just getting on.

    Looking forward to these thanks OP.

    • dufflover on 10/02/2019 - 22:44

      Really? I thought Turnigy were meant to be decent too. I picked up quite a few AAAs during a deal so hopefully they aren't consistently like that. (Haven't used them enough yet to know)

      • Magic Mirror on 12/02/2019 - 16:25

        I agree with the above comment that Turnigy ones are not that good.

        I bought a dozen or so a few years ago to check them out. After a few cycles (so maybe 12-18 months) they started to 'misbehave': after they supposedly finished charging , I pull them out and put them back in again, and they continued charging, as if they were only half charged initially. Eventually one of them even stopped charging.

        The charger is a La Crosse BC700, so not a no-name charger. I do this with Eneloops and they still says fully charged. Also they don't seem to last as long as Eneloops, even though they have higher rated capacity.

    • sschen on 10/02/2019 - 17:27

      How are you testing this?

      I bought 5-6 packs of the Ladda AA batteries a couple of months ago, and used the LiitoKala Engineer Lii-500 charger which has analyzing function, and it analysed the capacity of all 4 AA batteries to be more than 2450 mAh. I don't own any LSD Energizer or Duracell Rechargeable AA batteries, but I highly doubt that any of their batteries will have more than 2500mAh of capacities.

      • [Deactivated] on 10/02/2019 - 20:57
        -6

        Well, I have to say I noticed the same, even the Aldi batteries seem to hold charge better… At least my batch of them.

        I'm almost 100% certain these Ladda batteries are the ones that failed QC.

        A good example would be those companies that buy Snapdragon chips. You choose to pay for dodgy batch by a high % of failure and it can go down for less than $1 a chip, or you can pay more and get what is the so called "lower rate of failure batch".

        I'm sure Duracell pay for a slightly less durable version of the original Eneloops, but I guess they should still have higher standards than the Ladda brand. You can also tell because the number of charges it is rated at is higher. Those numbers are from the manufacturer; they wouldn't be able to quote anything higher because it might trip them up in a legal dispute, since the failure rate or recharge cycles is much lower. (hmmm. scrap that, wrong battery, amazonbasics - not sure about the duracell - might be deliberately rated lower so they don't get as many complaints or some non-compete clause?)

        But yes, I have noticed the Duracell batteries with the white top are better than the Ladda. (Could be the statistical distribution of the failure rates!)

        As you use the batteries longer, they will not hold charge as well. I have some old Eneloops, they don't hold much charge at all, and go flat within 1 month. Over 1000 discharge cycles.

    • Namesareapain on 10/02/2019 - 21:38

        Nope, it is just a part of the statistical distribution of the failure rate.

        One probably got unlucky, the rest may be fine; but that's what happens when the sourcing agent buys these QC failed batches.

    It'll be interesting to see if they will continue to be made in Japan. Recently they ended their grace period of uncertified batteries being allowed in Japan resulting in heaps of 100 yen sales.

      For someone who goes by "Clear", your post is anything but.
      Could you elaborate?

      • Clear on 10/02/2019 - 21:41

        A year ago Japan introduced legislation that all power banks, batteries etc must have PSE which is their version of certification for electronics.

        The grace period for that legislation ended last week and now all stores and manufacturers must be compliant. Just prior to the grace period ending a lot of stores were clearing all their unapproved devices for 100 yen.

          The only thing I can find is in regards to Lithium Ion batteries, not NiMH. I also highly doubt if it did apply to them, they would have an issue getting them certified.

          • Clear on 11/02/2019 - 09:53

            @Namesareapain: Exact quote from the ministry translated to English (badly)

            Mobile power that does not comply with Japanese PSE regulations will be banned from circulation

            NiMH probably wouldn't fall under that but considering Maxell power banks that do take AA batteries were included you never know.

  • Duff5000 on 10/02/2019 - 19:41

      Don't buy their 2100mAh ones. I bought a pack a couple of months ago, and they only hold 1500mAh. I used a LiitoKala Lii-500 and Zanflare C4 chargers to test them, and both reported the capacity to be roughly 1500mAh. This is effectively 40% less than the advertised capacity! In disgust, I brought them back to Aldi for a refund.

        I should how much they hold still. Just had a look at them and a have a few of the 2100s as well in there from early 2018 and some 2300mah from 2013.

        They are just being used in xbox controllers currently and they still last ages.

    These are the ones that didn't pass quality checks right?

    I guess they are alright, but there are probably some other brands in China that could beat the average QC-failed eneloops. You'll need to go on taobao to find them though. Aliexpress is full of fakes, likewise you won't see those RTL8188 mini wifi selling on taobao (well you might see one or two but the number of purchased is like zero and it is much more expensive).

    It's like a whole new shopping experience.

      What is your proof for this?

        It's standard practice in manufacturing…

        There is also another post where I explained it in relation to mobile CPUs. This can all be confirmed by calling those manufacturers. Albeit we aren't actually meant to disclose the process, but any reputable buyer will tell you the same thing. Just remember to say you are ready to buy when you call up.

        See Below for another further explanation.
