          Then probably bad batteries

          Chargers work on a couple of very simple methods. They don't check the brand of the battery. They check voltage, current.

          As long as your not doing something crazy like trying to charge lithium cells in an enerloop charger, it's fine.

    I have 14 years old white Sanyo Eneloops that still hold charge well and I still use them. They were the first (?) low self discharge batteries. Great investment back then and was similar price to these, given the inflation over years.

        Really? That's some bad luck.

        They're still going strong today.

          • rumblytangara on 06/04/2023 - 10:37

            @pharkurnell: I've got several dozen AAs and AAAs, been using them from anywhere between 2-8 years. None have failed so far, and I occasionally put them through the analyzer function of my charger and they are all within 10% of their original stated capacities.

            Any product is capable of failure I guess. But these cells are held up as the gold standard on places like candlepowerforums, and the guys on those forums are utterly obsessive about testing.

            I've had other rechargables die though. GP cells in particular (Hong Kong brand) are absolutely terrible for reliability.

  • albot on 05/04/2023 - 11:12

      People used to recommend La Crosse Technology chargers on here to charge their Eneloops. I got one about 10 years ago and it's still going strong and all my Eneloops are still holding their charge well.

    • Thwatered on 05/04/2023 - 14:05

      I recently got this one and am very happy with it. Has the smarts for not overcharging, shows charge state in thirds, can take USB-C or micro-USB and can charge any number of 1-4 batteries at a time.
      https://www.amazon.com.au/EBL-Battery-Rechargeable-Batteries…

      • rumblytangara on 06/04/2023 - 10:47
        +1

        I would not buy this charger.

        Max charge rate per channel is listed at 500mA.

        The typical capacity of a AA cell is 2000-2500mAh.

        To safely fast charge a NiMH cell using the 'best' cutoff method (where the charger can detect the voltage plateau that happens towards the end of the charge cycle) you need to charge at a rate of at least 1/2C. i.e 1000-1250mA

        That Amazon charger is likely to misread charge state, and will instead default to some kind of "turn it off after a certain number of hours and hope that it hasn't been overcharged" It's cheap, it will kinda work through fudging it, but it's not something I would call "good."

        NiMH charging strategies explained here: https://batteryuniversity.com/article/bu-408-charging-nickel…

        I just checked, even the Nitecore doesn't charge at a fast enough rate to reach 1/2C, but they have been around for a long time and are reputable, so I would trust them more. I used a non-digital Nitecore for years, and it has been fine. My batteries have done well with it- I have verified this with my Maha 9000.

    • rumblytangara on 05/04/2023 - 14:17

      If you want good, Maha 9000. Tells capacity, can run refresh cycles.

      It's not a budget charger though.

  • andresampras on 05/04/2023 - 11:13

    Are these Pros just automatically better than the non-pro (white) versions?

    Or are there applications where the non-pros are better?

    • ESEMCE on 05/04/2023 - 11:19
      +2

      Pro's have a greater capacity so they'll last longer in any application.

      Pro's are also made in Japan, non pro's are (mostly/entirely ??) made in China.

      • andresampras on 05/04/2023 - 11:23
        +1

        All the listings on Amazon have a giant 'Made in Japan' at top right of packaging.

        Pro's have a greater capacity

        Yeah but they also seem to advertise lower charge retention I think - "holds up to 85% charge after 1 year" on the Pros, versus "holds up to 70% charge after 10 years" on the non-pros

        • ESEMCE on 05/04/2023 - 11:37

          It's more the
          2550mAh versus 2000mAh for AA and
          950mAh versus 800mAh for AAA
          that I was referring to with respect to capacity.

          you get 20~25% more runtime.

          • andresampras on 05/04/2023 - 11:46

            @ESEMCE: I wasn't disputing the capacity, I agreed with you there. Just wondering if there are specific use cases where the non-pros are superior, and the only potential avenue to this seems to be charge retention

            • donthaveGamepass on 05/04/2023 - 11:51

              @andresampras: Pros are superior, works great with my external flash that requires 4 AA whereas the non-pro just wont charge the flash.

              • rumblytangara on 05/04/2023 - 19:08

                @donthaveGamepass: I run pros and white in my flash, both work fine.

                Canon. EX430 iirc as well as a more powerful third party flash.

                There's no 'best' all round depends on application. High or low power draw, frequency of usage. For example, using them in TV remotes is a dubious proposition - standard Duracells or whatever cost a fraction of the price and last me 3+ years, so eneloops are a total waste of resources.

            • ESEMCE on 05/04/2023 - 11:52

              @andresampras: And allegedly cycle count per comments lower down.

              (TBH in my ownership of both, I haven't noticed a difference, but 500 charge cycles would take me 10+ years to rack up. I have 10+yo Eneloops and other brand LSD batteries, but they all have notably reduced capacities. I think my oldest Pro's might be hitting 5-6 years by now.)

        • deadpoet on 05/04/2023 - 18:16

          Yeah in my experience the non-Pros are much better for low power applications like TV remotes etc. Seem to last a fair bit longer compared to the Eneloop Pros.

    • nfr on 05/04/2023 - 11:25

      Panasonic used to state more recharge cycles for the regular ones, but now they seem to be intentionally vague about it, so who knows, I got the Pros this time because they are cheaper.

    • rumblytangara on 05/04/2023 - 14:18
      +1

      Pro has slightly higher capacity and much shorter duty cycle. iirc something like five hundred cycles versus thousands for the white ones.

      I've always assumed that S&S has a promotional price on the first delivery and then the following deliveries are at whatever the current price is.

      And that's how Amazon makes money here - people agree to pay whatever the current price is, for convenience. And that's why we cancel before the next delivery.

  • running on empty on 05/04/2023 - 11:18

    The normal AAA are $14.80 with the coupon and S&S, which is what I bought as I do not need the Pros.

      So you paid more for an inferior product?

      • BigTime on 05/04/2023 - 11:33
        +3

        inferior product

        Every ozbargain comment I've ever read on the issue has said the pros have a higher capacity but don't last as long as the regular ones. Is this not true?

        • bamzero on 05/04/2023 - 11:44
          +1

          Normals are rated for 2100 charge cycles, Pros are 500. However normals will hold their charge longer, supposed to only lose 30% over 10 years, Pros will lose 15% over a year but you are also getting 20 to 30% more capacity.

          Pros, good for high drain devices.
          Normals good for lower drain long term use.

          Whether that makes them worth paying more for, I don't know. (Only the AAA's Pros are cheaper, the AA's are more in a 4 pack, but still cheaper per in the 8 pack.)

        • ESEMCE on 05/04/2023 - 11:49

          Learned something, although I'm pretty skeptical.
          Allegedly Pro's have a cycle rating of 500 versus Standards at 2100 charge cycles.

          I guess it'd matter in really high demand use cases where you're draining batteries daily. In my case, recharging monthly at most, 500 cycles is a hell of a lot of years and I'm pretty sure both chemistries are cooked more due to age than anything else.
          That being said, I still have Varta branded LSD batteries bought for $5/pack or something from Coles on a deal posted here probably 15 years ago. I use them in very low drainage tasks though cause their capacity is notably reduced.

          • andresampras on 05/04/2023 - 11:55

            @ESEMCE: yeah i saw this too.

            that's ok, 500 cycles from now we'll be lusting after the latest eneloop pro ultras anyway

            • ESEMCE on 05/04/2023 - 12:33

              @andresampras: I reckon after about 5 years even lightly used cells see a notable decline in capacity. To crank through 2100 cycles inside that arbitrary lifespan you'd need to be charging 8 times per week, every week. That's extreme usage IMHO.
              In my book, charging weekly is pretty high drain and at that cycle rate, 500 cycles would take around 10 years.

              I'm really not seeing any real world benefit from the increased claimed cycle count.

        • deadpoet on 05/04/2023 - 18:18
          +1

          In my experience the non-Pros last longer in low energy use cases (wall clocks, TV remotes etc), so I definitely regret stocking up on Eneloop Pros. YMMV.

      • running on empty on 05/04/2023 - 11:48

        I bought the whites because they last longer, more recharges. I have some pro's which I use in my camera flash and other high drain devices and are great but for normal tv remotes, toys etc the whites will last longer.

        • andresampras on 05/04/2023 - 11:56

          when you say the whites will "last longer" you're referring to overall lifespan as opposed to individual discharge cycle, yes?

            @andresampras: The whites self discharge slower than the pros. (70% charge after 10 years vs 85% charge after 1 year)

              • bamzero on 05/04/2023 - 13:05

                @mith: Think higher capacity is better, I doubt the loss from self discharge would be noticeable in a smart lock.

            @andresampras: yes

          • running on empty on 05/04/2023 - 12:35

            @andresampras: although I have been led to believe they may last longer per individual cycles too if used in low drain devices, I'm not 100% certain but the chemical makeup of the cells may be slightly different. I can't remember where I read that but I've seen discharge graphs and curves from tests in the past.

        • ESEMCE on 05/04/2023 - 12:39
          +1

          I don't see the point in using rechargeables for TV remotes.
          The financial saving is made with recharging the battery. I you never have to recharge it, then you actually spent more.

          Toys are high drain enough to get rechargeables, but also run down charge fast enough that long term charge storage benefit is not required, especially when starting with 25% more capacity in the first place.
