Everyone's been hanging out for this Dick deal….Finally, yeh!
Hmmm, the ebay title says AAA but the picture shows AA. Not sure if title is wrong or picture is wrong :S
Update: Just bought a set anyway, hope they are AAA.
The product code is "DSAU_S4515WEB"
S4515 is AAA on their website:

You do realise that charger is garbage and just cooks your batteries and shortens their lifespan?
I have this charger. The instructions come with a list of charging times for AA's & AAA's.
I make sure the batteries are flat before recharging and use the countdown timer on my phone.
You just need to be smart because the charger is not.
They're never really "flat", they've just hit a point where the voltage is too low to be acceptable in most devices and timing the charge with a stopwatch is still fairly imprecise.
You can get the Sanyo USB Charger for fairly cheap which is actually voltage-regulating and does AA/AAA:

I use that one and it's never fried my batteries. Sure it only has two slots but it's pretty convenient being able to leave it near a PC and the light indicator will tell you when it's done.
do they have same price in store tho?
Damn just paid an extra $5 to get it through the regular store. Great deal! Have been looking for AAAs for a while.
God damn. I paid that extra $5 yesterday too.
Note to self: Dick Smith posts same sale on eBay the following day with FREE SHIPPING.
I got mine already this morning!
you cant pay with wishcard on the ebay store rite?
No
Ordered, thanks for posting. Like others I've been waiting for these prices on AAAs.
I'm pretty sure they have simply uploaded the incorrect image and have the correct title, not the other way round.
Thanks op
Mmmmmm, not sure I am ready to buy these as there's no information provided in regards to their capacity…………..
Argh, sold out just as I was going through PayPal
4xAA + charger and 8xAA still available.
Ozbargained
How many mah are the AAs?
This listing has ended….. :(
seems like its all gone!
I snooze and I lose. Been waiting for these, but not quick enough.
Hopefully there will be another batch soon.
150 sold.
FYI you can grab some AAA from Hobbyking at the moment shipped for less than this, in case you aren't 'brand' dependent on the LSD batteries you buy
I checked the turnigy on hobby king and it says pre order. Am I doing it wrong?
I think the aus stock is preorder but the normal stock was available last night
http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25024__Turnigy_AA…
Also available on the DS website, but you need to pay for postage…
http://www.dicksmith.com.au/camera-accessories/eneloop-recha…
Damn just missed out on this too - postage is $10 from the dick smith website for me, so would've liked to have ordered through ebay.
Postage for me in Melbourne is $4.95, so a little tempted.
The way Dick treats their customers is disgusting, they need a good kick in the arse.
Buy these from their website and pay for postage. Wait a day and it's free postage on ebay.
Seems weird to me, especially the fact that they will also be paying eBay fees.
Not really, the price either way is pretty good. Show me elsewhere where I can get these from a reputable Aussie retailer for this price.
You missed my point, sure yesterday the deal with postage was a great deal.
But the postage cost is almost 25% of the actual item price, and today you don't have to pay it if you don't visit their website.
Look at what else you could buy with that postage cost - add $2.00 and try a 4 pack of the Aldi AAA's lsd for $7.00.
Stop being sour and just be happy you got a reasonable deal. Complaining over a few bucks is negligible.
I didn't buy any. I have the Aldi AAA's and they are working great.
Davo, this is OzBargain. Having an issue over $5 is what this site is all about!
Phew. got it just in time!
Damn just misseed out. Hopefully they will relist AAA again like they did with the AA. If only these were available in store like they normally are.
Lol i had to let this one go.. They waited so long to put AAA on sale i ended up getting a bunch of LSDs like 2 months ago.
These ones are still available for $19.98 Delivered. Eneloop Tones 'ROUGE' 8 x AA Rechargeable NiMH LSD Batteries
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Eneloop-Tones-ROUGE-8-x-AA-Rechar…
I purchased some AA Rouges, sexy! It looks like they're only 1900mah.
Aldi nimh suck, I use them in my PS3 (connected to HTPC) and they go flat pretty quickly.
Eneloop Rouge Model Name : HR-3UTGB8RTM
Voltage : 1.2 V
Typical Capacity : 2000 mAh
Min. Capacity : 1900 mAh
For the Aldi NIMH rechargeable. Make sure your using the LSD pre charged ones and not the standard rechargeable ones which are crap and go flat very quickly.
ha, put some AAA in shopping cart last night but didn't go through with the purchase.
Came back now and still in the cart so I added some AA's as well.
SWEEEET
my order is already shipped. That's quick.
Sweet. I feel like I made $4.95 extra today.
Don't need them but bought anyway.
Hahaha had the AA in my cart last night but I wanted the charger as well. It's a good thing I waited
Finally bit, will see what all the fuss is about.
Still available on eBay store, all with free delivery:
8x AAA Eneloop Batteries (Two 4x Packs)$19.98
4x AA batteries with Standard Charger $14.98
8x AA Rouge batteries $19.98
Glad I hesitated on the last deal - $5 shipping killed it but bought this instead
photo is of AA - but i bought it anyway… better not ship me AA!
Glad I waited. Finally a chance to buy both AAA and AA with free shipping in one transaction.
Here is a quick reference chart showing the specifications of the Eneloop Chargers
I got arrested once for stealing flat batteries, got caught and was charged.
Yay! Glad the AAA's came back. Just picked up 2x sets
Are the AAA's the latest HR-4UTGB model ? Anyone confirm pls ?
Just received mine. AAA's are indeed the HR-4UTGB model.
Finally so happy got AAA instead of paying delivery !!!
What happened out of stock again??
Just bought, thanks
Yep, back in stock!
These AAA's charge up to over 1200 mAh on a La Crosse Technology BC-700. charging rate of 200 mAh.
As I said in the other thread, La Crosse chargers tend to display capacity 'optimistically'.
Standard AAA Eneloops are nowhere near 1200mAh.
Legend!! Thanks
Yeah.. Just bought now. Thanks
Such idiots! I was going to buy some of each (AA & AAA). Then the AAA deal disappeared. So I bought only AA last night. Order is probably shipped by now. But now I'm going to buy AAA seeing they've put it back up.
They could have combined and saved postage. Dick does stooopid.
They may not have known there were more coming. You can't really blame them for not predicting you'd buy more. Also credit to them for shipping so fast. I got mine today in less than 24 hours.
Yea suprised they shipped so quickly this time. Received mine too.
Got mine today.
I got mine. They were sent in a BIG box, with just 2 pack of batteries.
This is the best part. There was not even packing in the box! the 2 packs of batteries were just rattling around inside!
I am not saying that the batteries can get damage. Its hilarious to see a whole box of air! I usually expect people to pack a box with some packing material. The box they used would have fitted 2 shoe box with a lot of space.
Batteries can get damaged… if it gets a dint then you should stop using them.
Don't worry realfamilyman. My order was even worse packed. I orderd both AAA and AA in the one transaction and both arrived today in two separate oversized boxes with no padding. 1x8pk AA box size:30x28x18. 2x4pk AAA box size:22x16x14 (WxDxH).
They could have at least used one reasonable sized box or even a padded bag.
Same for me, such a waste.
Bought AA and AAA.
Got my huge empty box with some rattly things today as well.
Received my huge box yesterday too. Now to buy the La Cross BC-700U. Will shipping be cheaper if group buy? And how much does it cost to send to Melbourne? BTW, I never used amazon to buy goods before
Amazon postage is only about $10 for a BC-700 so about USD40 delivered.
The won't ship a lot of items internationally. You can't easily tell until you put it in your cart with an account/shipping address entered but once set up it's easy to check if they will.
Mine came in a padded bubble wrap envelope…. I feel ripped off that I didn't get a big box!
Sent via Star Track.
Ordered the 2x 4 AAA Pack.
I ordered the 8xAA and 2 x 4xAA separately. The 8xAA came in a Startrack bag wrapped up to just the size of the battery package. The 2 x 4xAA came floating around in a box the about half the size of a shoebox.
Arrived, thumbs up!
Ordered on Thursday evening arrived today morning also in bubble wrap envelope.
Dick is now on ebay?
