Still Showing in Store at This Price

Greetings everyone, it's been over 6 months since I last posted this, and due to the popularity of these and expiry in July, I thought it was worth reposting to notify people again!

AAA Batteries Here

You must have a IKEA family membership to get this deal. You can signup here if you haven't already.

Reports mention that these are rebadged Eneloop Pro's, "2450mAh 500 cycles for AA, 900mAh for AAA. No indication of remaining charge after X years".

Stock is available at all stores from what I can tell. These were recently out of stock in Adelaide, however they're back in stock now.

Check the country of origin before purchasing to find the made in Japan ones, this will be indicated on the battery and packaging.

Description:

          It's standard practice in manufacturing…

          So what is your proof that these Ikea batteries are rejects? Your sample size of 5 packs?

    • FloatingPoint on 11/02/2019 - 02:20

      So there is a Japanese battery factory to produce millions of QC-failed batteries to supply IKEA.
      That doesn't even make sense.

        They aren't making them deliberately. I'm not sure where anyone got that idea that Japan makes failed batteries deliberately. It is a part of the manufacturing process that non-compliant products will be created.

        They need to run QC check on every few batches of batteries. If they fail, then they either need to dump them or what usually happens is that it is sold onto other parties that will purchase it at a higher failure rate %. Rarely is the excess waste recycled, and in most cases it cannot be done economically. What do you choose? Rebadge faulty batteries or get them cut open again and possibly extract the chemicals again through electrolysis (some may still be lost in the end)? Who knows how much of it can actually be recycled or how much extra of a certain amount of chemical needs to be added to make it perform at the standard required.

        These are a known facts. I am not sure why people are downvoting because if you talk to any manufacturer, including those in computer parts you'll see the same reasons to why certain batches of chips are cheaper.

        I don't blame you guys on ozbargain, probably none of you have ever been inside a factory to do purchasing orders and inspection.

        Yeah, you do realise there are hundreds of millions, possibly billions of batteries created every year in Japan… Do the math on the failure rate. Even if 1% QC failed, that would lead to a lot of excess supply ready to be sent to whoever wants to buy it at a lower price. We don't know what standards the true Eneloops Pros meet, so the actual rate of failure could be much higher.

        Always leading the way with exposing the truth. Tens of downvoted posts with informative posts on ozbargain and counting. Too bad the search engines won't pick it up, but hey at least the community will read it and understand the truth.

          But you can't know for sure unless you have specific inside knowledge of the contract that Ikea has with Panasonic, assuming that they are in fact Panasonic batteries and that Panasonic even manufacture them them selves. It could be that they obligated to supply exactly the same battery with exactly the same specs.

          It is common knowledge that the electronics and semiconductor businesses uses sampling and then grades products into different speed categories, as with panels for TVs but I don;t think you can categorically say that with these NiMH battries.

            @Punkboy: Well, what is more likely. Same standard or slightly worse batch?

            Keeping in mind a majority of people will probably get the good batteries within the bad batch. Even if 5% of those are bad, 95% of the consumers of the unbranded ones will be satisfied… Also because of the way it is packed, most likely all four of the bad ones will be in one packet (I would be assuming things like inconsistent mixture of the chemicals resulting in clusters of bad ones).

            Thus why the majority of users will post that it is exactly the same battery, but every now and then someone will post theirs isn't performing as well. To the chorus of downvotes.

            • FloatingPoint on 11/02/2019 - 12:11

              @[Deactivated]: I'm just going along with your theory. You assumed there is 5% to get a crap IKEA battery.

              100 LADDA cost $200 but I will only end up having 95 good batteries so the average cost $2.1 each
              Compare to Eneloop Pro $5 a pop

              Bargain.

              (and I still have the options to return those crap batteries)

    • Duff5000 on 11/02/2019 - 14:29

    What's the difference between those and these?

    • Namesareapain on 10/02/2019 - 21:37

      It is right there on the label, those are less than half the capacity.

      • D6C1 on 11/02/2019 - 00:01

        Thanks. Yeah but I think of any appliance where I would need the lower capacity than the other which is lager for a small extra price.

      Double standard. PERIOD.

      No. At the time you posted, it wasn't 6 months past when the previous deal was posted, and the previous deal wasn't expired, hence it was removed as a dupe.

      It is now 6 months past the last time it was posted, so it is within the guidelines to be posted again.

      Don't make up stuff about it being double standards, if you read the guidelines then you would understand why yours was removed, and this stays.

      Or if you feel so inclined, contact a mod about, they can explain it in further detail.

      • [Deactivated] on 11/02/2019 - 09:49

        If people want more accountability, they should put a request that duplicates cannot earn karma, albeit still eligible for voting.

        It will stop karma whoring every 6 months.

        Awaiting downvotes for logic.

    The best deal I ever had on Eneloops was when my wife bought a little remote control car in the Op Shop for $3, and inside were 4 Eneloops.

  • Messiahlad on 11/02/2019 - 10:24

    I was about to buy them, but they have jacked up the shipping cost to regional. A few weeks ago it was $9 now they want $29 shipping. Thumbs down to IKEA for this.
    Testing the post code with 2000 and it was still $9. Cost of shipping between Sydney and Tamworth are the same so this is an error or dishonest.

  • Astronaut Joe on 11/02/2019 - 11:22

    You don't need to be an Ikea family member for the $7.99 price. It was marked as the regular price on the shelf (at my local Ikea), and I bought a couple of packs on the weekend at that price and I'm definitely not a member.

      Anyway, membership is free and can do it online there immediately.

  • momptdeals on 11/02/2019 - 11:33

    I would also vouch for these. I do own eneloops (1800mah) and although I couldn't directly compare them to eneloop pro (2450mah) the ladda batteries are an amazing substitute at less than half the price.

  • seniordoc on 11/02/2019 - 18:18

    Warning: I just bought 8 LADD battery. The body is slightly larger than eneloop and usual alkaline battery, with slightly shorter top button, so that when I replace my eneloop in my door bell it does not work. The +ve top just does not touch the electrode of the doorbell, probably 0.5mm too short. There are some small plastic guard in the battery compartment of the doorbell, but all other rechargeable and alkaline batteries are ok.

    It is ok if you use it in a torch.

    • Loopholio on 12/02/2019 - 09:31

      Thanks for the waring. It's been years since I've had that issue and I assumed it would never happen again. I'm sure they can be returned as Not Fit For Purpose.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2019 - 22:55

      Are you sure? Mine are the same size, albeit the capacity is lacking.

      Maybe my comments about these batteries being a result of failed QC are true. Your comments seem to prove it to some extent. If they were a real rebadge and normal Eneloop Pro batteries; the size would be the same.

      Small manufacturing defects are enough to get items struck off from the main Eneloop Line. Now if anyone can prove where the other defective batteries go that aren't going to Ikea, then I might be more inclined to side with the fact that these are exactly the same batteries with exactly the same quality control.

      I thought one of the defects would be maximum charge and minimum mah in the first charge, but it turns out there are probably other factors including size of the battery, whether it is moulded properly and so on. So, yeah there are probably a lot more defective QC failed batteries than I previously estimated.

      BTW, we aren't the same person. lol. I think you would realise that from the linguistic differences in how we type.

      Not astroturfing. lol…..

  • Loopholio on 12/02/2019 - 09:26

    Are these likely to be better than the Aldi / Coles rechargeable batteries?

    • FloatingPoint on 12/02/2019 - 12:11

      I have Aldi ones and they are ok, but IKEA batteries last quite a bit longer on the same device.

      • [Deactivated] on 12/02/2019 - 22:57

        Hit and miss with Aldi batteries, but if you get the newer generation they seem to be better.

        Ones manufactured starting from last year seem to perform slightly better then Ladda ones. (At least in terms of retaining charge)

    • Loopholio on 13/02/2019 - 11:57

      I bought two sets for my digital radio. Both the Aldi and Coles get maybe five or six hours runtime. I hope these will be better.

      • Loopholio on 16/02/2019 - 09:51
        +1

        So far theses batteries are far better than the Aldi / Coles offering. I'll never go back to buying those again. My radio is showing 2/3 bars and it's been running at least twice as long as usual. When both of my current chargers die I'll invest in one of those fancy C4s. 👍

    • seniordoc on 13/02/2019 - 18:29

      I just use the 'break-in' mode of my MH-C9000 on 4 of the LADD. It reports around 2450 MAH for each of them, so consistent with the label. I have not used them yet to test how long in real life.

      I have not tried Coles rechargeable.

      I have tried previous Aldi rechargeable, but they are not LSD batteries, so the battery life is short. I will not buy them again. However the one I bought are now about 4 years old, so I don't what happen to the new Aldi rechargeable.

  • rival81 on 18/02/2019 - 18:26

    Since Ikea are out of stock for online ordering, note that Coles are $7 for 4 batteries AA or AAA, every day. https://shop.coles.com.au/a/a-vic-metro-richmond-south/produ…

    Great batteries too.

    • Loopholio on 19/02/2019 - 10:25

      They aren't great. I've used them for years and like the Aldi rechargeable batteries, Coles have much lower capacity compared to these 2450 IKEAs.

  • robbpf on 27/02/2019 - 12:02

    These are great batteries. Ive had eneloop AA and AAA batteries for ~6 years without having one fail yet. I am not a heavy user, mostly use these batteries in kids toys, remotes, kitchen thermometers, etc and theyve stood up very well. I switched to the IKEA branded batteries 2 years ago and so far so good. I even bought the cheap USB charger they sell and it works well given the price its sold for.
