Some of you have been holding out waiting for the Eneloop Glitter batteries to come on special, and here they are.

No longer available for click and collect. Booo.

Postage looks to be $4.95, maybe more if you're out in the sticks, just enter your postcode to find out before you order.

Copied from the website unedited:

Just as the classical eneloop, the eneloop glitter batteries get pre-charged at the Japanese factory with electric power, which is generated from solar energy. For this reason the batteries are ready to use directly after being purchased. Thanks to its low self discharge eneloop glitter keeps approximately 75% of its initial charge even after 3 years of storage. Like eneloop, eneloop glitter can get recharged up to 1500 times. The batteries are having a nominal voltage of 1,2V and a rating capacity of2000 mAh.

Additionally the limited edition packs include batteries in 8 different glitter colors: purple, pink, orange, yellow, light green, light blue, silver and black, which enables users to pick colors according to their taste or to use colors to remember which batteries are charged and which ones need to be recharged.

    I thought the glitter versions were the older 1000x recharge type, but according to the spiel, they're also 1500x now.

      The system can be a bit silly with things like this.

      Click and Collect sends an order to the store's computer with the pricing from the website, but you can only put one through where stock is high enough. When stock is low (typically 1 or 2 units) you can't do a C+C. Dick Smith doesn't price match online stores, and that includes their own website so for low stock stores, you can't get this price from them.

      Generally with online only prices like this, you can't do a C+C, so I suspect it might have been a mistake to have that option available. That being said, if you are able to get a successful C+C through, the store will honour it as long as stock is available.

      They won't display this price in store, you either have to order online for collection or mailout. Still waiting to see if anyone successfully collects any from a store at this price, it should be possible but some stores are already knocking people back that call up to check stock when the site tells them to do so.

          Why do you repeatedly ask the same questions knowing full well where and how to ascertain this information yourself?

          The specs - AS USUAL - are clearly visible on the DSE website in the overview and on the specs tab, just like the last time you whinged about it and were told where to locate them.

          I also included them in my copy and paste of the overview above, which you might have seen had you bothered to actually LOOK instead of complaining about the same thing yet again.

          The batteries are having a nominal voltage of 1.2V and a rating capacity of 2000 mAh.

          Why keep trolling the same thing? Seriously, I'd really like to know.

        Is it a smart charger?

        If not then I would get a smart charger.

        http://dicksmith.com.au/product/S4460/eneloop-usb-charger-wi…

        Thats a smart charger. Detects when the battery is full and stops charging.
        Cheapo chargers have a timer, so if you put a battery in that is half full, when its fully charge the charger will continue to charge as the timer is still going. That can overheat and kill batteries.

        • IVI on 17/07/2012 - 19:13

          Thanks for the link, but DSE's web site says:

          1. no stock &
          2. no longer available

          We agree on risks from over-charging…

          I do hope DSE isn't dropping that charger, because it might -extend- the life of the batteries it's used to charge, while other
          chargers may -reduce- cells' useful life (eg, due to over-charging with excess voltages)…? :-/

        • get-innocuous on 17/07/2012 - 19:50

          Well it says it has:

          LED charging status indicators
          Automatic charge cut-off

          Does that make it a smart charger? Those specs could also refer to a timer…

        • Macgyver on 17/07/2012 - 21:56

          I got it. I also checked the specs on Sanyo.
          Its a smart charger.

          Didn't realise it was out of stock. They had lots of them last months ago.

          Maybe this:
          http://dicksmith.com.au/product/S4462/eneloop-quick-charger-…

          I got that also and its a smart charger. Charge two or four batteries to charge at a normal charge rate.

          I've still got my glitter batteries from the last deal, unopened, because I got thoroughly confused as to which charger I should use for them. The link above to the eneloop quick charger - is that a reasonable price, and is that what will work best with these batteries (I really know nothing about chargers!)

          There are better chargers out there. Some can tell you how when charging will be finished, some can show you how full the battery is, and some can discharge batteries etc.

          But if you just want a good charger that Sanyo there will be perfect.

        • bobsi18 on 18/07/2012 - 10:33

          thanks for that :)

      • IVI on 17/07/2012 - 19:10

        The only look that matters is what an Oscilloscope can tell you… eg, waveform, voltage levels, etc.

        …and maybe a thermometer… eg, are the cells being "cooked" by over-voltage "fast-charging" rates?

        (A certain maker of small, 2-way handheld radios was shipping 2 different chargers for the same radio; one made caused excess heat in the -costly- proprietary radio-battery; the other didn't, as it supplied a lower voltage. Beyond a -possible- fire-risk, from excess charging-voltages, the usable life of the costly batteries can be reduced; making them cost more to operate, in the long term. The advice was to give the higher-voltage supplying charger a miss, & enjoy longer battery life & lower operating costs, over the life of the radio.)
