Both still showing in stock for me.

No code required. Cheaper than last deal even without code.
Apparently 1900mah - 2000mah capacity is just a maximum rated capacity, and both will have similar capacity.

      NiMH batteries have a lower voltage than alkaline batteries, due to their chemistry. Alkaline batteries start at 1.6V and gradually decline, at 1.1V they are mostly flat and at 0.8V they are fully flat.

      NiMH batteries start at 1.4V when fresh out of the charger, but that voltage rapidly drops to 1.25V. For most of the batteries discharge it will be between 1.25 and 1.15V. At 1.1V these batteries are flat.

      A small percentage of devices can't handle the lower voltage, so they either complain of "low battery" or shut off early. It sounds like your keyboard may be such a device. Try using brand-new NiMH batteries in it, to rule out the possibility you have a bad battery.

      There is another rechargeable battery chemistry that has a higher voltage: NiZN batteries. But thae batteries and chargers are uncommon, I have only seen them on Amazon US. These batteries start at 1.65V, and the voltage declines like alkaline batteries. You'll also only get a few hundred recharges out of them, but that's still many years of use.

      1.65V sounds high, but it's not dangerously high. Non-rechargeable lithium AA batteries are even higher, they start at 1.7V, and I've never heard of anything being damaged by them.

    • AncientWisdom on 07/03/2019 - 11:48

      They will work. The capacity does not indicate power output, just stored energy. So in other words the amount of time before you need to recharge again (assuming similar draw).

      • bargainparker on 26/03/2019 - 14:55

        They may work, depending on how sensitive it is, but some devices require higher voltage in order to work which NIMH can't provide. Regardless if it is 1A or 2A, it only means 1A will work half the time of 2A. You are mistaking capacity with voltage required. Otherwise I could just use 5V 20A for my laptop instead of 19V 20A.

    ALDI sells 4 pcs AA and AAA for $5.99.

  • IdBuyThat4aDollar on 03/03/2019 - 09:06

    The Free Postage option uses the Australia Post Regular Mail Service. This does not provide the option for tracking and does not include insurance.

    The seller assumes no responsibility for lost packages by Australia Post unless Registered Post (additional surcharge) is chosen as the preferred postal service. This option will provide include tracking and insurance for your package.

    Isn't this misinformation? If you were to lodge a paypal dispute for never receiving item, if seller can't provide tracking information, dont you automatically get refunded?

    • Russ on 03/03/2019 - 09:22

      Yes, paypal will always refund you in that case, but you have to wait a few weeks after the delivery period before sending the complaint to PayPal. And then it can take a couple more weeks before you get the refund.

      When you send a complaint through PayPal, it initially goes to the vendor, and they reply, usually with "please wait another week or two". Only after they reply, or if they don't reply, only then can you "escalate" the complaint to PayPal. If it is already a couple of weeks late, usually the vendor will issue the refund through PayPal.

      If something doesn't arrive, ALWAYS use PayPal's complaint system instead of using the vendor's complaint system. It saves time, because you have to use PayPal's complaint system to get the refund.

      This is the most recent model if I am not mistaken. BQ-CC55.

      • Goldfire on 03/03/2019 - 16:56

        I've been using the BQ-CC55 for a while now. Very good results.

        I did note that the batteries get a bit toasty when charging, so I designed and 3D printed a shell that I can slot a 80mm fan into to keep temperatures much lower.

        • thebadmachine on 03/03/2019 - 20:05

          Yeah the toast is to be expected from a fast-charge of 90mins for 2 batteries (3 hours for 4batteries ?)
          Also read a lot of good things about the BQ-CC17 in this review.
          It is similar but slower charging.
          To be fair though he added an update down the bottom saying he likes the BQ-CC55 more.

      The panasonic chargers are pretty poor examples.

  • mirovich on 03/03/2019 - 16:40

    Those ones seem better:

    • thebadmachine on 03/03/2019 - 20:09

      Just to be fair the price of $18.98 applies to AAA x 4.
      Yes some people prefer the Eneloop Pro’s.
      But they are only rated at 500 cycles (compared to 2100 cycles for standard).
      And only 1/5th more capacity (2550 vs 1900mah).
      If you think those price for other Eneloop Pro’s are better than previous deals you can post it as a bargain.

  • steve13 on 04/03/2019 - 02:10

    Hey all, need to get a set with a charger. Haven't had eneloops before but need them for an xbox controller.

    Is this a good set and price?

      The charger that comes in the set is the worst one out of all the Panasonic chargers.
      They will damage and reduce the overall lifespan of your Eneloops.
      I would go for a bundle with either the Panasonic BQ-CC17 for normal speed, or BQ-CC55 charger for fast charging.

  • mckayver on 04/03/2019 - 05:54

    Will my six slot Aldi charger charge these without ruining them.

    • thebadmachine on 04/03/2019 - 16:48

      Better off getting one of the Panasonic chargers I suggested above your comment.

  • TRAVELO on 04/03/2019 - 14:41

    If anyone is interested. Came across eneloop on GraysOnline for bidding. 16 units available starting at $7.

    Update: Received mine 2day.. Totally not impressed with the sellers' packing efforts.. Simply put into an envelope, not even padded… Luckily they don't looked dinged up but the blister pack shows a couple of creases here & there…

    Dodgy as…

    • festivalmayhem on 08/03/2019 - 14:17

      Yes also had the same experience. I ordered 4 and they simply cut the 8 pack in half and taped up. Very piss poor.

      • thebadmachine on 11/03/2019 - 15:52

        I am guessing the cutting of the 8-pack was due to overwhelming number of orders (more 8 pack stock than 4-pack) and the pressure to get them to everyone by the estimated delivery date (no padding).
        I didn’t see any negative feedback prior to posting this deal about these things..

      • bargainparker on 26/03/2019 - 15:03

        Why, do you want them in a fancy packaging. An envelope is more than enough for this, instead of you being please with the packaging, just to throw it in the bin for more waste. First world problems.

    • thebadmachine on 11/03/2019 - 15:49

      8-pack I ordered came without any damage. Same packaging as you there was no padding, but since the item arrived without any issues I have nothing to complain about.

    • bargainparker on 26/03/2019 - 15:00

      If they were eggs it would be a problem. It's not like they would suffer damage even if you dropped them on the floor. On the other hand, try the same with a mobile…

    • bargainparker on 26/03/2019 - 15:07

      Yeah, next time request it be sent in this https://p.globalsources.com/IMAGES/PDT/BIG/000/B1154799000.j…
