    Anyone know of any deals on bulk purchases of eneloop pros? I need about 32 pieces.

    • +7

      There's this website called OzBargain somewhere, I hear discounts come up on there semi-regularly ;)

    • +1

      Just get Ikea LADDAs if you need bulk on discount plus whatever voucher promos are available. It'll almost always beat the best eneloop price you can get on here.

      • Do you know if the Ladda work in the D eneloop spacers??

    • 32 pieces? Well it's about that time I got suspicious and sure enough Gbreal was the Loch Ness Monster!

      Don't tell me you are doing an electric car conversion…. ;)

    • if you need 2 the 9v 2 packs is $1.80 as well.

      • Thats not a 9v, thats a 1.5V D

  • Smart and Quick Battery charger is cheaper than just the Quick battery charger ?

    • Seems the Quick has the pro batteries… Otherwise I can't see why the price is so different.

    • +2

      They are both Smart and Quick chargers, the more expensive one comes with "pro" batteries.

      The pro batteries are 2,500mAh, versus 2,000mAh from the regular. So about 25% higher capability.

      Regular batteries have slightly longer longevity, but probably negligible after 100s of hours of use.

      It actually makes more sense to get the regular charger pack and 4 pro batteries separately, $39 + $22 = $61, than $58.65 for the pro charger pack.

  • Anyone know a good 9V charger?

    • It's a pretty rare thing for a charger to have 9V charging capability, the last good charger I saw that could do that was Aldi's smart charger, which was only sold once or twice a year, and hasn't been seen for about 5 years.

      You could try the Liitokala Lii-D4 charger, it has 9V battery charging capability, but I have no experience with it, so this is not a recommendation.

      • Hmm ok thanks!

        • Looking again at that charger, it comes in three varieties: USB-C (you plug it into a phone charger you already have, probably using a USB-C cable you already have), or with a US plugpack or an EU plugpack. There's no AU plugpack option, so you'll either have to take the USB-C option or use a mains plug adaptor.

          Officeworks sell a good-quality mains plug adaptor, suitable for the US plugpack option, but it's a bit expensive at $9.50. See if you can find one cheaper on eBay or Amazon, otherwise I've found they are often available for a good price at stores that sell suitcases at wholesale prices.

    • I got a cheap USB-C charger from ali.

  • If you have access to GGC, the Quick and Smart charger with 4 regular Eneloop batteries pack is $37.

  • What is smart about the charger? Just the charge level indicator LEDs or does it also cut off charging individual batteries after each gets to a full charge? Or is it something else

    • Guess in order to be quick, it needs to be smart, in a controlled manner to avoid over charging.

      Both the basic (BQ-CC51) and smart (BQ-CC55) stop charging individual batteries when one has reached capacity.

    • +1

      The non smart charger need to charge batteries in pair, and it's a cut off timer charger

      • Thanks for the clarification.

        I have an older charger BQ-CC16 that I assumed is a basic charger, and it stops charging individually when full, just like the BQ-CC55. Turns out the 16 is also a smart and quick charger.

    • There’s a good thread here about what makes a good charger. It’s also a good place to start going down rabbit holes on charging ideals for batteries.

    Pardon the ignorance but can I charge non eneloops batteries? Ie AAA or aa from IKEA?

    • same question

    • +2

      Yes. As long as they are NiMH then enerloop LSD vs any other NiMH batteries make no difference.

  • Anyone had experience with duracell and would you recommend the eneloop over this charger/battery deal for $27?
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Energizer-Battery-Batteries-Rechar…

    • Energizer, not Duracell. For one: the ones you linked are not LSD batteries.

      • Duh, my bad. Assuming eneloop are LSD, would you consider them worth the extra spend? I'm a complete noob when it comes to rechargeable batteries

        • My eneloops are all in low drain or rarely used applications. Remote controls for example, they last many years without recharge. Or flashlights: they will still have power when I need the flashlight urgently, even years after charging (i.e. power outage).

          If you want cheaper: IKEA Ladda are similar quality.

        • +3

          Non LSD batteries loose charge from full pretty rapidly. Stored on the shelf for a week, I've seen figures for 15-20% capacity loss (hazy memory).

          If you use them hard right off the charger (eg worksite radios) this doesn't work matter as you recharge every night in a big charge rack. In a flashlight that sees occasional use and sits in the glovebox for weeks or months, non LSD is definitely at a disadvantage.

          For most people at home, get LSD.

          • +1

            @rumblytangara: Yesh. This.

            Also LSD is really good for other things too. ;)

          • @rumblytangara: I'm new to this, do the eneloop batteries in this deal have LSD?

            • +2

              @wonderboy4: All Eneloops are LSD.

              Eneloops only come in two flavours, afaik. Higher capacity + lower cycle life (the black ones), or lower capacity and higher cycle life (the white ones and the glittery rainbow coloured ones).

              • @rumblytangara: @rumblytangara That is great to know, thankyou kind sir! 👍 and do the rainbow ones differ in any way, or are they just the same as the whites but only look different?

                • +1

                  @wonderboy4: The rainbow ones are glittery, which makes them at least twice as good as the boring white ones.

                  (they are just cosmetically different, not sure you can even get them here).

                  • @rumblytangara: Haha, of course, the sparkles hold the charge better! 🌈🌈I should have known this 🤦‍♂️😂

                    I just bought them, seems like a good deal for only $35 especially holding the charge like you said (that sold me on them for sure) and the webpage also says 100's of charges too. So it will be good for the Xbox game controller that tends to go through batteries very fast and I expect these will pay for themselves soon enough👍

                    Thanks again for your help! 🏆

        • LSD, would you consider them worth the extra spend?

          Non-LSD batteries discharge themselves even when not in use. The rate of self-discharge is about 1% per day, so they're half flat about two months after you charge them (maths: 2 months = ~61 days, 0.99^61 = 0.54).

          The result is that you can't charge them and leave them in a drawer, they'll likely be flat when you want to use them. However if the batteries are in something you use everyday, like a portable radio or an electric shaver, you may be charging them monthly anyway. If that's how you use your batteries, non-LSD NiMH batteries are fine.

          It's when you want to use NiMh batteries in low-power devices, like remote controls, wall clocks, computer keyboards and computer mice, that LSD NiMH batteries are so much better than non-LSD ones. And you can charge LSD batteries and leave them in a drawer, even after a year of storage they'll still be close to fully charged.

      That Energizer charger is crap. The description says "This handy device charges 2 or 4 AA or AAA NiMH batteries in 5 hours", and that's bad for two reasons:

      • It's charging the batteries in pairs. Guess what happens when one of that pair is fully flat, and the other is only partially flat? The charger has no choice to put the same amount of charge into both of them, so either one battery ends up not fully charged, or more likely one is fully charged and the other is overcharged. Overcharging kills NiMH batteries.

      • The charge takes five hours. The -dV/dT effect that smart chargers use to detect "battery is full", gets smaller when the charge takes longer. It's easy to detect when charging takes 1 or 2 hours, a bit harder it the charge takes 3 hours, and difficult if the charge takes 4 hours. For a charge that takes 5 hours, it's unlikely the charger will reliably detect the "battery is full" signal, and even more so when charging batteries in pairs. Overcharging is likely.

      Always mistrust chargers made by battery companies, they have a financial incentive to make chargers that will slowly damage your batteries - they're hoping you'll come back and buy more batteries when your current ones fail. Panasonic are one of the few companies that make batteries AND make some good chargers, but even there, the majority of Panasonic chargers sold are NOT good chargers - like their "overnight" charger. The charger in this deal is one of Panasonic's good ones.

  • Are the 4-pack AA ones at a decent price?
    Looking to get that with this to hit $50 for cashback.

    • I'm not sure if you will be able to do both items in 1 transaction, if you are using subscribe & save for the extra 10% off discount.

      $19.80 for the 4pk isn't bad, looking at past deals. Has been cheaper but only by a couple of dollars for really good deals, eg.

      • good point!
        maybe LADDA might be a better alternative then although I don't believe they are LSDs.

        • IKEA's LADDA batteries are LSD.

          It seems "LSD" or "Low self discharge" must be trademarked or copyrighted, as other manufacturers of LSD batteries say "ready to use" or "pre-charged".

          LADDA batteries say "ready to use" on their cardboard box. I have tested some, bought and in continuous use since 23 February this year. I haven't charged them, they're still going strong on the factory charge. The batch code on the box is 21291, suggesting they were manufactured and charged on day 291 of 2021, more than 18 months ago.

          Note: avoid Woolworths "partially pre-charged" batteries, they are not LSD.

  • Beware, one of the Pro models says the voltage is for 100-200V and will not work in Australia.

  • The 9V battery is available again

    • Thanks, updated

  • Thanks op, ordered a couple of 9v for my smoke alarm.
