This one leaks.
Leaky - wrecked a couple of my remote controls.
Maybe they've fixed the problem.Not sure why my smart lock doesn’t like Ultra, but ok with coppertop
Varta 30x AA at Bunnings for $11, regular price.
Prolly not as good as max or ultra, but you get 30 or them. AAA also available.
Duracell alkaline (non-ultra version) is also on sale in Costco. 40-pack under $15 (AA and AAA).
Or just buy eneloops and never buy leaky disposable batteries again.
Do eneloops supply 1.5v?
Yes. They are niMH. AA and AAA are 1.5v.
Also handle >2000 recharge cycles.How sure are you?
@TEER3X: Eneloop operate at 1.5v at full charge, then drop to 1.3v and plateau down to 1.2v until they're almost fully discharged.
Alkaline batteries theoretically start at 1.5 as well (depends how long they are on the shelf for) then steadily decrease voltage over time until they hit 1v.
I'd say the voltage curve is steadier on the eneloop, but alkaline will have a slightly higher voltage for about the first 50% of capacity, then the eneloop beats it with voltage.
Also, eneloops can handle higher current devices & dont leak.
@[Deactivated]: Eneloops are not all the same, multiple versions and types, many start much lower than 1.5v, really depends on use case.
I only use Eneloops where I can, as they don't leak. Feels like a waste, but I also use in the Christmas toys, as I know I will miss one and leave the batteries in and won't find a dangerous mess and corroded toy,@UltimateAI: Nearly all of them at full charge are 1.5v. As soon as they start discharging they drop to 1.3v FAST.
https://eneloop101.com/batteries/eneloop-test-results/Maybe it's misleading, but technically at full charge they are 1.5, and that's what my comment said.
No they do not, refer to my other comment.
@UltimateAI: Its a technical argument, where you can use a AA or AAA, you can use an Eneloop… they charge to 1.5, and drop off once off the charger.. the 1.2v is under load…
Most AA devices will run at 0.9v. I cant imagine too many devices needing minimum 1.5v… it would certainly stop working on a single AA alkaleak soon after replacement as they drop voltage too, the device would be prone to running out of regulation. If a device is sensitive to under 1.5v, Id suggest it ran 2 AAs AAAs. Eneloops will also hold over 1.5v in that setup.
Chinese Eneloops, are Eneloops… only in name. Just buy pros, they are still made at the old factory AFAIK. Same as Fujitsu its the same tech as Jap white Eneloops. AFAIK, you can still buy Jap white Eneloops, you just need to check. Aus is a market where we ordinarily get the Chinese ones now.
No they don't, they are not suitable for devices requiring 1.5v, some fully charged can be as low as 1.2, really depends on the battery.
Eneloop have various models, their qualities can also vary depending on country of manufacture.
Look I am an Eneloop fanatic, but they just aren't suitable for any application requiring 1.5vIf you have a specific use case, best to check the Eneloop Encyclopedia

Buy rechargeable, unlock good human achievement.
One of the worst brand. Lost so many devices due to leakage.
Edit: negative vote is for quality.
They should only sell disposable batteries if you're willing to eat them once they're drained.
How do they compare to Energizer max that regularly goes on sale on Amazon/woolies?
