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.

    Bought another pack - got one last time the deal was up (pretty sure it was free shipping then).

    Paid for postage as no sufficient stock nearby. Deal isn't quite as good with shipping attached, but who cares… they're nice looking cells ;)

    IF stores aren't honoring offered prices,
    the need to be reported to your local/state
    Consumer Affairs.

    I think they'll find that raising prices
    at the shop is -not- legal.

    (Also, DSE has often been observed to offer
    NEW, but - at the shop - stock only REPAIRED
    goods. I'd say this is as wrong as raising
    the price, & I'd like to know if anyone's
    raised this issue with a Consumer Affairs,
    &, if they have, what the result has been.)

    • wtfnodeal on 17/07/2012 - 20:01

      Use a highlighter to highlight "rechargeable" so they won't throw them away again.

    • foobar on 17/07/2012 - 20:04

      An odd suggestion perhaps - Have a second lot charged up ready to go, change them all at the same time yourself so that others aren't handling them, rinse and repeat.

      Maybe do this once a month or at whatever interval you think is required to stop others removing and discarding them.

      Btw, you bought the wrong batteries, eneelop are the knockoff brand :P

  • Shaw on 17/07/2012 - 20:05

    Wouldn't mind this, but don't even have $20 in my account, nice deal though.

  • zukand on 17/07/2012 - 21:15

    Tempted. Would I have any issues charging these in an ordinary NiMH charger? My Sony's are getting old, and they aren't in production any more (Absolute best batteries I've used!) so these will be great.

    • Black Hole on 17/07/2012 - 21:24

      These would be much better than the Sony. Any NiMH will be ok as these eneelop is just like the NiMH except it has much lower charge leakage.

      Have to replace the batteries in my Ergorapido. A shame because I will miss seeing all the glitterful colours.

      • jazzymc on 18/07/2012 - 08:20

        How do you replace the batteries in a Ergorapido vacuum cleaner? Do they use rechargeable AA batteries?

        • nookular on 18/07/2012 - 12:01
          +1

          The 12V version has 10x NimH rechargeable AA's, 6 around the motor, and 4 in the handle. They are not very good batteries either…. I think they were about 1100mAh, so these eneloops are way better. Only thing is the existing batteries are the ones with the solder tabs, which are a fraction shorter and easier to solder than standard aa's. They do fit though. Main thing is, be careful when soldering these eneloops because you don't want them to get too hot. Make sure to use a powerful enough soldering iron so you can solder quickly and avoid heat going into the cells. You need to cut a small piece of plastic to be able to remove the cells around the motor. It takes a bit of fiddling, but it beats buying a new vacuum broom, and the Eneloops are a lot better than the batteries in a brand new machine. Not sure what batteries the 18v version uses though.

        • foobar on 18/07/2012 - 12:03
          +1

          You might find the eneloops easier to solder if you file where you're going to solder back a bit, takes off the nickel or chrome plating or whatever it is and the solder takes to them much easier and with less heat.

          Practice on some old disposables, see if it works for you.

      When they are out and girls are around it may be a good conversation starter, as you will attract an attention with those. And then, it is up to you and your ability to develop something from there (endless possibilities from bunny rabbit to a "personal massager" related type of conversation. I agree, it may work as well in the gay community (and nothing wrong with that, if you are into it)

    Here is a charger + AAA deal (and some AA as well). Is it a smart charger?

    • SilentDissident on 19/07/2012 - 17:08

      The glitter pack comes in a resealable pack, so don't need to worry about a battery case for them. But for other eneloops you may want to invest in a case.

      This week thanks to Ozbargain I came into possession of 4 glitter AAA eneloops, 8 regular AA eneloops and 16 glitter AA eneloops. The only 'charger' I have is a logitech mouse that runs off an AA eneloop and is capable of recharging the battery inside of the mouse. So I am in the market for a charger. I am not an expert, what I have to say here is based on a couple of days of web research.

      If the Jungle Jumble item has the correct picture, it is a smart charger and as far as I can tell the best eneloop branded AC charger.

      To give a quick run down.

      This here is the MQN04 eneloop charger (note the 2 green LEDs on top, it is the cheapest but it is a timer charger, so if a partially charged battery is put in it will be overcharged, which can reduce the lifespan of the battery.
      http://www.sanyo.com.au/images/products/Batteries/NCMQN04_an…

      The next step up is the MQN06, I don't believe that this model is sold by Australian retailers, however it was the charger that comes with the amazon superpack here (http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/74950). Note the 2 green LEDs on the bottom. It is a smart charger (i think), however it apparently chargers in pairs (one LED per pair I am guessing), not sure what happens if there is only one battery in the charger. It is a apparently slower than the one in your link.
      http://www.cpfreviews.com/Batteries-Sanyo-Eneloop-Green-Onli…

      The one in your link appears to be the NC-MQR06, which seems to be not sold in the USA. It has 4 blue LEDS (one per battery) on the bottom (they are behind the white outer plastic and are only visible when lit and on the later models has quick written on the outer slots. It is a smart charger and charges each battery individually. It sounds like it is the quickest and best of the eneloop chargers. The one issue is the smart technology, is not the typical smart charging found in other brands and may not work as well with non-eneloop rechargeables. I'm guessing however, this is better for the the eneloop than if it was placed in another brands charger. Look here for more info(http://www.electronicswarehouse.com.au/blog/sanyo-eneloop-ba…). This is more expensive than the N06, I'm not sure if the extra features of the R06 outweigh the value of the powerpack. If the powerpack came with a R06 rather than the N06 it would be a no brainier.
      http://www.netcomputadores.com.br/dbimg/produtos/nc_mqr06w_1…

      I'm not sure which one I personally will get, but I hope that helps.

      If anyone seems a mistake with any of that please correct me.

      • Taita on 19/07/2012 - 22:59

        thanks for the comparision. as the quick charger is not that cheap, is it better to spend a little extra and go for a maha charger ?
        and why do eneloops need to stay in resealable cases?

  • IceFyre on 18/07/2012 - 15:21

    My Fenix TK41 uses 8 x AA + A fully charged set ready to swap in.
    My Son's Fenix TK45 uses 8 x AA + A fully charged set ready to swap in.
    My 2 x Spark SD-52 Headlamps use 4 x AA for both + 4 x AA For Backups
    My Son's ZebraLight H51 uses 1 AA + 1 For backup

    If anyone did miss out, you can still get 8 non glitter eneloops in this deal - http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/74944

    If you do want some, you should order quickly as the non glitter ones came on special first so they could also go back up in price at any moment.
