    can anyone recommend a charger?

    • -2

      i went with IMREN Lithium AA AAA Battery Charger (B8) searching through amazon.com.au though i didnt do much research, just seemed like a good longterm charger that hopefully won't burn my house down based off some reviews i read. i dont want to buy super cheap electrical items from overseas, and risk too much. hopefully this is quality. if i spent more than 10 minutes researching could probably find something better.. just the choice i made

    • I've been using the Ikea charger with storage, Litosfar. Can charge 8 at a time and store 12.

        Ikea charger with storage, Litosfar.

        That looks very much like a "dumb" charger, from it's quoted 9-11 hour charge cycle. Dumb chargers damage batteries.

        Although it claims to have -dV/dT detection, usually a feature of "smart" chargers, -dV/dT detection doesn't work on a charge cycle that long.

        It's simple to test if your charger is going to treat your batteries well: give a battery a full charge, take it out of the charger and let it cool down for 30 minutes or more, and then charge it again. "Smart" chargers will stop charging within minutes, for example a Liitokala Lii-500 stops in 4 minutes.

        Please report back whether or not your charger passes the test and stops charging. As your charger has a lower charging current than the Lii-500, a reasonable time for your charger is in the 15-20 minute range, and at the end of that charge the battery shouldn't be so hot that you can't hold it in your hand, making a fist around the battery.

        • I tried the test with my IKEA STENKOL, it stop changing in around 20mins.

          • +2

            @BARE-STOCK: I've commented on the Stenkol charger previously, read the comments starting here.

            Short version: it appears to be an adequate charger, not a great charger. It could be as good as a "great" charger if you only charge one or two batteries at a time, which brings the charge time into the range where -dV/dT charge termination is usually reliable.

    • +5

      Nitecore if you want expensive name brand one, otherwise plenty on AliExpress like litokal or xu something etc. are okay too

      • +1

        LiitoKala ?

        • yeah i meant that ofc was busy when i typed that and didnt remember exact wording of that store name

    • Recently got an XTAR L4 Pro for around $25. Doesn't have all the smarts but has a refresh option.

    Has anyone actually tried them? Are they any good?

  • +32

    A reminder that these are 1.2v and a lot of electronics using AAA expect 1.5v… my smart scales wouldn't work with 1.2v ones for example

    • +3

      Yep. My kitchen scales won't turn on with eneloops. Have to use normal 1.5v batteries.

      • +1

        I've had problems with my scales for ages, noticed it had a micro usb port yesterday, pluged it in and an internal battery started charging.

      • +3

        I think you need new scales instead :P
        My bathroom and kitchen scales work fine with NiMH …

    • +2

      A reminder that these are 1.2v and a lot a small proportion of of electronics using AAA expect 1.5v… my smart scales wouldn't work with 1.2v ones for example

      This gets said a lot. I've yet to notice it personally (I have a crapload of rechargables).

      • I mean plenty of stuff MAY work, my aircon remote accepted them fine for example. But yeah, YMMV

        • Remotes are one class of device that I'll stick to alkaline anyway because they only need new cells once every 2-3 years.

          But every remote that I've tried with NiMH LSD has still worked- they require bugger all power, have an incredibly simple PCB, and most they do is shine a wimpy little IR LED in a short flashing pattern. It's basically a keychain light but even lower power.

          Same with scales. They last for so long that I don't bother with NiMH, but the scales I have tested when I ran out of alkalines do work with rechargeables.

          Alkaline cells drop to 1.2 pretty rapidly anyway. iirc their EOL voltage is considered to be 1V. So your alkaline cells are being tossed out partway through their useful life in any device that doesn't work with NiMH anyway. They are either incredibly specialist, or they are badly designed.

          • @rumblytangara: Is IMREN Lithium AA AAA Battery charger a good one from amazon to pair with these batteries?

    • +20

      my smart scales wouldn't work with 1.2v ones for example

      Yes, there are some badly-designed devices out there.

      "1.5V" alkaline batteries are 1.65V when new and 0.8V when flat, so if your device won't work with 1.2V batteries, it will stop working when alkaline batteries are only half-way through their usable life.

      Unfortunately most devices don't say on the packaging that they're "NiMh friendly". When I bought some scales recently, I discharged some NiMh batteries down to a little under 1.2V, and asked to try the batteries in the scale in-store. They let me try them, the scale worked, so I bought the scale.

      The datasheet of Energizer AAA alkaline batteries is HERE, showing the discharge curve ending at 0.8V.

      • +2

        This deserves more upvotes. I too was under this misapprehension until I Googled it a few minutes ago.

        NiMh batteries actually have a higher average voltage over their discharge cycle. The charts linked on this page are eye-opening: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/comments/k9bj8d/psa_12v…

      • I too am aware of this, but have a few use cases that leave me scratching my head.

        When I use NiMH in stuff like shavers and milk frothers, even a fully charged NiMH (regardless of age or quality), the device doesn't quite have the same 'oomph' as if it were using alkalines. And when on alkalines, they also seemed to stay at that high level of performance for a long time. It's really only these devices that have failed me in terms of using NiMH

        In terms of electronics, I can only name one off the top of my head that's a tiny bit picky. That's my Xbox controller. - And that's only if I use REALLY old cells. It's a perfectly happy camper with Ladda cells.

        • The alkalines will only have more "oomph" in the first half of their discharge, when their voltage is higher than NiMh batteries.

          If you're throwing out your alkalines when they lose that "oomph", they're only half-way through their life, and you're throwing away still-usable batteries - if you have something else that can handle the lower voltage of alkaline batteries in the second half of their discharge.

          • @Russ: Thanks for chiming in. I guess I'll have to do a few more close observations regarding apparent power and how long it stays that way, between alkalines and NiMH.

  • +2

    Any deal on AA

    • -4

      Get an adaptor to let you use AAA in AA devices. More flexibility!

      • +15

        AA batteries are so common, it is silly to use AAA batteries in AA adaptors. AAA batteries have smaller capacity than AA batteries, it just not worth the hassle.

      • +2

        I had no idea this existed. Things I learned today.

        • +6

          Yeah AA in C or D adapters are handy.

          • +1

            @Spendmore: That I have been doing for years, AA batteries in C case adaptors.

          • +1

            @Spendmore: yeah they're awesome

      • +1

        Yeah, nah.

        Don't do that.

        AAA rechargeables are usually around 800mAH.

        AA rechargeables are 2000-2500mAH.

    • They on Amazon got 8 pack for $31 but that's a bit expensive imo, laadas AA is still cheaper imo for like 4 pack being $10 and $12 for higher capacity?

      • +2

        If you can get stock :(

        • I think IKEA can't get them anymore, searching for "Ladda" on the IKEA website doesn't find anything for sale.

          • +1

            @Russ: LADDA has been discontinued by IKEA AU

            • @JSONBourne: Good those used to leak (at least the rechargables)

              • @G-rig:

                those used to leak (at least the rechargables)

                If you have NiMh batteries that are leaking, that means they've been overheated at some stage, and the overpressure safety seal has ruptured.

                The commonest cause of overheating is using a "dumb" charger. You can't "fix" the batteries once the seal has ruptured, the power output from those batteries will continue to drop with time. And they'll continue to leak.

                The only thing to do is throw out the dumb charger and the damaged batteries, and buy a smart charger and a new batch of batteries.

                • @Russ: Yeah just what I heard, don't have any myself.

        • i managed to score 1 pack of 4 aa from ikea last month for $12 2400mah ones

  • +4

    1100mAh they claim if anyone wondering (had to hunt for it). Probably not, but who knows..

  • It's this a popular UK brand or something?
    Eneloops are currently $85 on Amazon so not a bad price.

    Anyone seen the new style of rechargeable battery with a USB C cable that plugs directly in?

    • They've been around for a while, they used to come with micro USB. My understanding is that the charging circuit takes up space, so they have less capacity. Also, the mini charging circuits are effectively dumb chargers, so lack the smarts of a specialist charger.

      • +1

        ahh - yeah prob a niece case like taking them travelling would be handy when you've got a usb C cable.
        Just thought they looked nifty, prob no need haha

    • +1

      Don't see any NIMH rechargeable with type c
      Only lithium ones are rechargeable with type c I think.

      • +3

        Not worth having Type-C port in AAA NiMH batteries. AAA batteries already have small capacity, fitting the Type-C port in it will take up valuable space, thus reducing the capacity even lower.

  • +3

    Using math this equates to $1.51 each.

    • +1

      From memory laadas were like 4 pack for $8 or something like that. 800 mAh also

  • +5

    and shipped to home all the way from UK for free

    Shipping things like this across the world in individual packages is a massive negative, not a positive.

    • +39

      But batteries have both a positive and a negative.

      • +7

        Some times in life you just have to let the current take you.

        • +6

          If you guys dont stop with the bad puns ill be up on battery charges

        • +6

          Watt?

      • +1

        such a good pun, but looks like there is resistance to it

      • This deal empowers the poor

    • +2

      but do they? i think you'll find they're bulk ship over here and then sent individually when arriving. they'll be like 10,000 orders today from OzB alone

      • +1

        And they're not really even sent individually when arriving - because the Prime guy is already coming to your suburb (or even street) with other people's orders. The only "individual" part of this delivery all the way from the UK, is his slight detour to your front door.

  • Can you use the Panasonic eneloop 4 x AA and AAA charger ? I have that it's awesome with the.traffic light charge colours

    • +1

      You should be able to use any AAA charger.

  • As per other comments is this brand actually any good?
    LADDAs at least have a track record for being the same or close-to Eneloops.

    Otherwise these cost a lot more than other AAA's around to try like Liitokalas.

      LADDA's are now discontinued unfortunately. They've been removed from IKEA Australia.

      • I wonder why. Aldi did the same thing with their rechargeables years ago now.

        Seems we are going backwards.

        • +1

          Supplier agreements likely. They probably had a 4 year agreement and it's expired. Just have to hop on the next brand. None of them manufacture themselves, so it's just figuring out the newest label.

        • +3

          I actually spoke with IKEA Australia a couple weeks ago about them being missing. Apparently there have been shipping troubles bringing them into Australia recently, and they don't expect them to be restocked here until next year. They aren't discontinued, just unavailable in Australia at the moment.

          • +4

            @joshau: They'll be back LAYTA.

          • @joshau: Wow great to know! I succumbed to Eneloops recently and it was too expensive. Will be glad to see them come back.

          • +2

            @joshau: Ikea in Richmond still have them in stock, I picked up some today.

        • Maybe LADDA rechargeable batteries just not profitable enough for IKEA to keep selling?

  • Thanks OP

  • +4

    Eneloops… buy once and forever. I've been using them for ten years and not had one fail..

  • +2

    4.5 rating, but 2 important reviews:

    Batteries have very different capacities.
    1100 mAh is never reached. The average is 965 mAh.
    I'm not buying anymore!


    Batteries are leaking out/gases running out.

    • +2

      Seeing as how Eneloop Pros are 930, the 1100 claimed by Bivigor sounds like BS anyway.

      Personally I wouldn't buy these, they just sound like any generic rechargable AAA. Overstated capacity, no mention of recharge cycles.

      • +2

        they just sound like any generic rechargable AAA

        Except at a higher price point but people still seem quite happy to pay if going off the up votes 🤷

    • tbh better than I expected. Looking at reviews for EBL 1100mAh many comments say they test at 700 to 800mAh which is pretty standard for AAA and what I thought these would probably be too.

  • +1

    Can anyone recommend good 1.5volt Rechargeable AA,3A please .

    • This one was popular when I posted it for $24.70 & it's currently $30.90. Looks like it comes with a $10 voucher applied to your account for next purchase also.

    • +1

      Haven't used them, but these seem to have good reviews - https://www.amazon.com.au/XTAR-1-5V-4-Pack-AA-Rechargeable/d….

      • Thanks Mcfly I'll keep eye on them .

        • +2

          Those ones don't have the 1.1V low battery indicator when they are nearly depleted, so they go from 1.5V to off which may or may not matter to you.
          XTAR does have others with that feature, but there are cheaper alternatives too now.

          I have a few sets of these 8 packs which are often around $36 with discount (as they are now) and if you have Amazon Business around $32 with discount (I got my last set at that price, I'm assuming voucher still works but I already used so doesn't show any more)

          Other brands too I haven't tried.

          Haven't actually tested 3A draw though, my charger can only discharge up to 2A. But they are equivalent to about 2000mAh at 1.5V, 500ma. (the 3600mWh ones, there are also lower 3000mWh).

          Biggest difference I noticed between the 3600mWh ones and XTAR 4150mWh is they both give you about 2000mAh at 1.5V but the XTAR will run longer at 1.1V giving you more notice of a flat battery, but at nearly double the price.

          • @bamzero: Oh, good to know, didn't know they had ones without the low battery function.

          • @bamzero: Thank you for info

  • https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-nimh-battery-chargers…

    Cheqp doesnt mean good…

    • It doesn't mean anything. 😉
      Neither does qxpensive, but in this case I think it's luck of the draw.

    • Is this in relation to the experience you've had with this product or just a philosophical comment?

  • Unbelievable! I was shipped an empty envelope, containing only a packing slip. What kind of scam was this?

    I have initiated a return and refund. But still, I can't believe that Amazon UK would do this.

    • Wtf LoL

      I definitely did 1 box haven't opened it yet was a small box tho but yeah in a small cardboard parcel.

      I honestly don't know what's the point of returning empty parcel tho ?? Amazon is weird

      • Yeah, there isn't much point doing a return. I chatted with customer service who will do the refund. A waste of my time though. Apparently they can't supply the goods because Amazon UK is a 'seller'.
