Any idea if these could end up leaking?
had a 24pk of supercheap auto heavy duties and not one of them leak. then again, they all ran out of juice too quickly to leak
Supercheap and reject shop are different stores, and the products are also different. You know my Aunty makes great cakes as well, so your point is?
"RockyRaccoon" Easy there tiger, or should I say "easy there Raccoon"
He is just giving his experience on similar type batteries, but you are right of course.
Supercheap auto heavy duty batteries have little in common with these Polaroid heavy duty batteries, except that they are both AA.
Being different stores as you say is irrelevant, as two stores Could sell Same items Brand/Model and even from Same Date Batch.
If he/she has never tried this brand or heard bad rapports from them, not fair to give this deal a Neg.
i've bought heavy duty batteries from quite a few different shops and doesn't matter what the brand — Polaroid, Toshiba, Eveready, store brands — all were [predictably] disappointing.
reputable alkalines these days don't cost that much more bought in bulk
Yes they will but not in a year. Reject shop sells old stock so do not buy to last unless they are toilet rolls or you need batteries for the next 6 years for some odd reason
I would recommend going for alkaline batteries rather than heavy duty. $9.92 for 30 at Bunnings which is 33c each. These heavy duty ones are 25c each.
Also, in the 3 most recent battery tests i could find online, varta scored top 3 for capacity every time.
Good to see they're consistent! Many years ago I did some tests myself and posted the results here somewhere. The Vartas were at the top too.
When you consider the longer lasting power and longevity of alkaline they mostly work out cheaper than HD batteries.
heavy duty batteries aren't worth it unless you absolutely need them
Most sex toys call for them.
They use alkaline in the store to have you go "wow, that does feel strong!" But then the manual relies on the current limit of heavy duty batteries to not overheat the motor.
Obviously its usually the cheap ones that rely on that, but its super commmon.
Better off with rechargables though; 1.2v nominal, rather than 1.5v does much the same protection.
had a look at mine made by Fun Factory in Germany and it only specifies a 1.5v AA battery, no mention of either alkaline or heavy duty. it wasn't exactly cheap but compared with the shop's range, maybe it was. who knows…i find toys are overpriced to begin with, and certain stores cougha-shopcough really go hard on the up-selling e.g. do you have batteries? do you have toy cleaner?
These things should be banned (if not in real life then on OzB.)
carbon zinc
Just like their instant cameras, these are finished in about 5-10 minutes.
Japan-made Eneloops or go home.
"Polaroid is an American company that is a brand licensor"
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polaroid_CorporationMy understanding is that these batteries are not made by Polaroid company, the battery company have just paid to use the Polaroid name.
spot on. looked on the back of my pack of Polaroid AG13s and it says this product is manufactured, distributed and sold by The Powerhouse Group. Polaroid, Polaroid & Pixel and Polaroid Color Spectrum are trademarks of PLR IP Holdings LLC, used under license. PLR IP Holdings LLC does not manufacture this product or provide any manufacturers warranty or Support.
rubbish, as others have said these batteries should be banned.
Do we all correctly dispose used batteries? (Eg @ikea)? Hope we do.
Places like ALDI have bins you can dispose them in too. But I think most throw them in the rubbish. :(
ALDI bins are always full and not once got spare space when I visit. ikea/officeworks are good.
I really should know this sort of thing, but I always assumed battery volatges would be consistent (or within narrow parameters) depending on battery size (ie AA, AAA, etc).
It's only with rechargeable batteries that I have an awareness of different capacities (mAh) but even then my knowledge is limited to lower mAh discharges quicker but recharges to capacity quicker too.Does anyone have a link to an idiots guide, please?
Carbon and alkaline batteries deliver the same voltage when new (aa&aaa 1.5V). The difference is in for how long they deliver that power… the alkaline is a clear winner there.
Thanks.
Carbon Zinc landfill. These are terrible batteries that won't last long at all.
Not even worth $2.
Everyone's posting battery deals from Amazon au (seller : Bulk Batteries)
Why do you have to be different? Lol
