https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkaline_battery#Capacity
The capacity of an alkaline battery is strongly dependent on the load. An AA-sized alkaline battery might have an effective capacity of 3000 mAh at low drain, but at a load of 1 ampere, which is common for digital cameras, the capacity could be as little as 700 mAh.
Thanks op deal got some at that price bargain.
i bought these before and gotta day they’re awful. the capacity/charge drains very quickly. so not keen to buy them again :(
I haven't had any issues with these, which I purchased last time they were $5. They certainly aren't a sexy battery, but they do deliver 1.5v without leaking (at least thus far).
What you paid what you will get… LOL>
Low grade alkalines. Drain faster than other generics.
Do the environment a favour and buy some rechargeables
only if they are recycled when they are EOL also. Otherwise they are worse if just disposed of at EOL.
You can collect your nicad etc batteries and drop them into the council. Better to have a few packs of rechargeable batteries and then not need to buy any for five to ten years.
Problem is not everything will run @ 1.2v, some devices do need 1.5v. I usually keep a pack of alkalines for where the application requires it. For everything else I use NiMH batteries (Aldi/Eneloops).
What happened to all the eneloop deals?
I bought a dozen ALDI recharge a balls 5 years ago and they're still going strong.
Yeh as others have said not the best choice for the environment but do the job
Thanks for all the Eneloops! I actually dont need these
I have a significant stash of eneloops, but the unfortunate reality is not all products work well with 1.2v cells.
This or Bunnings Varta?
Neither. Buy yourself some Energizers on sale.
Are they really worth the premium? even when on sale they are still ridiculously expensive.
Wondering the same thing. Varta seem to the best everyday deal price going around.
These batteries are super cheap and I'm not referring to the price.
Excuse my ignorance. Aren't alkaline and heavy duty different?
Yeah I don't understand what these "Heavy Duty Alkaline" batteries are. "Heavy Duty" = Zinc Carbon / Zinc Chloride. Nowhere on the packaging does it say "Heavy Duty" though and only Alkaline. So perhaps it's just a title error like this "Panasonic AA 4 Pack Extra Heavy Duty Alkaline Battery" which clearly has Zinc Carbon on the packaging and not Alkaline?
These remind me of the 50pk "Heavy Duty" Eveready's at the post office for $10.
It's alright in low demand things, but in Xbox Controllers I was needing to replace them every day.
Thank you. Got both aa and aaa.
If you pay $0.2 cents in one """"Heavy Duty Alkaline"""" AAA do not expect more than 0.2% of useful life
Alkaline batteries typically have the similar capacities. The bigger issue with these cheap batteries is that they leak in your devices.
I don't recommend
I bought 2 packs last time it was $5. I used them on heaps of items ranging from toys, little kids lights, remote control car (hardly used). It dies very fast. In comparison, the Aldi blue akalines one (50 pack I bought) from memory and the Varta bunnings were alot better albeit the price increase.
Although "super cheap", you'll just waste time changing batteries more often, they die way too fast.
Recommend wait for the Aldi 50 pack Akalines, or even the Aldi red non-akalines, even they seem to last longer.
Anyone know how many mAh these are?
