No I agree, i don’t like posting RRP too, but I also know many people like these batteries and think it’s OOS. But it’s back now. Call it a PSA if you will
Thanks! Yes some PSA's deserve deal status.
Agreed!
Pretty sure people are referring to the AAA not the AA.
This, i had the AAA on stock alerts then got notification that they removed off the catalogue because they couldn't get an ETA for inventory
Both AAA and AA have been out of stock for months. I gave up waiting and coughed up the extra for some eneloop pros instead. It hurt….
The 2450mAh AAs have been in stock at Richmond VIC for at least 7 weeks. I bought 3 packs on 6/6 and there was heaps in stock.
Who has time to check in store. If the website shows no stock, then I'm going elsewhere.
It has been well known they have been out of stock for months. Many posts on here about it.
But thanks for the heads up.
Who has time to check in store.
Not me.
I checked online (pretty sure it was the app) before going in store. I'd been irregularly keeping an eye out for months and was pleasantly surprised to see AAs in stock as I was going to be in the area, and had seen the AAAs were pulled from the website.
I agree with @Tuttorix that I thought the AAAs were the issue more recently, albeit both were a problem for many months.

Must be the app as they are not even listed online today as in stock. Used to be online as out of stock.

Same, always listed as out of stock, gave up, got some eneloop pros instead
The 1900mAh AA's were floating around but these 2450mAh had disappeared.
Good to see them back again
Ladda 1900mAh - 1000 cycles
Ladda 2450mAh - 500 cycles
Apart from a couple of remote controls (tv, air con) what else can I use these for?
I've had non-rechargeable batteries in those remote controls for a few years now and still no sign of needing replacing.
Rechargeable batteries are better suited to higher draw scenarios where you're replacing batteries more frequently. Alkaline batteries are better in remotes etc.
Actually cheap carbon batteries are better in remotes because they don't leak. Alkaline are likely to start leaking in the remote while they still work, meaning if you only change when they stop working you are often destroying your contscts
Thanks. Good to know.
Actually, decent quality alkaline batteries won't leak unless you inadvertently leave them in a device and their voltage drops below a safe working voltage and the electrolyte starts to degrade the electrodes or if the battery is past its use by date. If you use decent quality alkalines as intended, they should never leak.
@gyrex: @gyrex I used to think that too until a batch of Duracell AA batteries leaked inside a bunch of my devices. They were one of the large packs purchased from Costco with about 2-3 years left on the expiry date. It took a long time (almost two years), but in the end, Duracell did honor their guarantee and paid for the damaged devices. I feel safer now using rechargeable batteries, even in low powered devices like remote controls.
@Oceadge: Duracells have been known to leak for decades now. Energizers used to have a no-leak guarantee, but I had some leak recently. It seems that the no-leak guarantee now only applies their MAX and rechargeable alkalines. They will replace devices damaged by leaks:
@Oceadge: I've also had bad experiences with Duracell purchased from Costco, as well as various supermarket brands over the years.
can you even buy those anymore? I buy the Amazon branded batteries and they're all alkaline
@furyou: Yeah they still around but not so common. Because I mainly use rechargeables I have a small number that shipped with electronics
@furyou: yes, zinc carbon and zinc chlorides are still available. I see them in our dollar store all the time.
@furyou: Dollar store would be better they come in 2 or 4pks
Buy them from Target or Kmart $5.50 for bulk 24pcs

Actually cheap carbon batteries are better in remotes because they don't leak.
D'oh wish I knew this sooner! Not too long ago went through replacing all/most of the AAA alkalines from my devices (mostly remotes but also DMMs, wireless keyboards, etc) cos I was just sick of past and potential leaking. A dozen rechargeable AAAs obviously costs more than old school carbon zinc, that in these cases would've lasted for ages too.
Ah well good to know if there's ever a need…
Thanks. Good to know.
Having said that I do have some 15 year old nimh aa batteries that are now not good for much except remote and I still use them, have to charge them once we very 6 months or so, so not too much of an inconvenience
I also like the fact they are far less likely to leak.
what else can I use these for?
Tell me you don't have kids without telling me…..
I do have kids. Unforunately they take non-rechargeable food.
I’ve a bunch of linked auto nightlights - trigger one, they all go on. A night light with a flat battery is useless, so it’s rechargeables changed before they go flat.
I think I was the one asking about the disappearance. I was in ikea the other day and asked again. They couldn’t provide an ETA and just said the batteries have not been deleted, but they are having difficulty in securing stock, whatever that means.
Someone at Tempe told me they weren't getting stock until end of July months ago, and so I settled for the 1900s back then
Marsden park nsw have stock ?
I was at Marsden Park yesterday, but they didn't have any batteries in stock.
Still not available online… Guess it's time to make a trip to the store
I had been waiting for these for a long time, but had heard they were discontinuing all battery sales. In the wait, I purchased a box of 20 Amazon basics rechargeables. 😞
I had read these is a good chance these are Japanese LSD either directly eneloop OEM or comparable.
Anyone know if Rhodes has stock? AA or AAA?
What’s the best charger for these?
There is no one best charger. Any AA NiMH smart charger will do.
Smart charger is better then a dumb charger.
The IKEA chargers works well and good value too
if anyone know Springvale store have stock?
Would like to know that as well? Anyone?
No stock. Was there 10 minutes ago
Thanks
Are they still rebadged eneloop though?
New packaging but still made in Japan so yes most likely
They have different characteristics when tested, they have different ratings, but they are made in the same factory as Eneloops apparently.
Damn I need the AAA for all my zigbee stuff.
I've been eyeing the LiitoKala nimh's on aliexpress. if they are good they are a bargain on the welcome deal pricing.
Richmond still has no AAA
As of midday 25/7
Non at tempe yesterday
Any in Adelaide ?
nope
Went back today, all types in stock now!
I’m still learning about rechargables. Are those EBL ones good? It seems cheaper than the ladda so im tempted for the AAA.
The Amazon ratings would suggest they are.
I have no complaints with them. Though I can't verify the capacity, it is seems to be about the same same as the Varta and Energizer rechargeables.
this comment forced me to watch this battery comparison video again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efDTP5SEdlo
LADDA rechargeables should be popular with OzBargain. They are made in the Eneloop facxtory.
You're a couple of weeks late :)
It was a full shelf a couple of weeks ago. Went again today for other stuff and there's still plenty left though a lot fewer than before.
You should have posted it as a deal, I didn’t even see your comment till now
haha similar to the earlier comments I didn't really think much of posting spotting stock :)
I don't usually go enough to know if it's a once-off lucky delivery or a sign stocks returning to normal (like eggs? lol)
Reads like AAAs is what's really in demand though since then I've gotten some Liitokalas to see how they go to supplement the few packs of AAA LADDAs I got last year (except they were 750s not 900s)
just got them today after years of seeing it posted for years, woohoo, good number of racks left (5-6?), lighting section 17 on the lower floor, found in the middle of the walkway, pain in the butt to get to tbh!
Location?
swear its been 2 years ive been trying to buy some ikea batteries
It’s comment like these that prompted me to post!
Nice ! Thanks 👍
My LADA's blew up in a remote I had and i'll never use again.
Still using all my eneloops, some over a decade old.
Just in the WA store and they have the 2450mAh AA and 750mAh AAA in stock, plenty of both.
This is good news! Hopefully they get to other stores as well.
Bought two packs for my film camera, just wondering is it bad to leave these fully charged like it is for LiPo?
Also the staff asked “where did you get that picture from” when I showed them the picture of the batteries posted here.
is it bad to leave these fully charged
No. NiMh batteries are fine being kept fully charged.
They're also fine being stored completely flat (it's how the old-style NiMh batteries were always delivered).
The only situation where there's any problem is when they are almost flat and are in use. Every battery will have a slightly different capacity to the next battery, so if you have several of them in a device, the first one that does go fully flat will then be reverse-charged by the remaining batteries in the device - if the device is drawing power from the batteries. So if you notice your device is showing signs of a flat battery, like your remote-control racing car slowing down, take the batteries out and keep them disconnected until you can charge them. Don't try "just a few more laps", that'll damage the battery that went flat, and the damage is permanent.
Lithium rechargeable batteries, in contrast, "age" much faster if kept fully charged, and will chemically destroy themselves within weeks or months if stored completely flat.
Thanks a lot for this detailed and informative response!
checked springvale on the weekend no stock
What's the deal? It's the regular price and just a stock update.
