Ok. Piggy backing from chuckwow's deal here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/135845), found this even better deal on their website. Not sure if it's real or not, but I've gone through the purchase and got a confirmation.
Update: DSE may be shipping the charger with 4 batteries only, see comment below.
It's also repetitive because the same thing is just above.
Sorry I did not see it.
I aint reading all that.
Why are you asking why their comment is being negged when it's just one neg vote?
Glad my order was delayed if Im getting the Tropical pack :D
I got the email as well.
got the same email
awesome, I prefer the tropical feel better
will use them to power my hand held fan when i'm at the beach
I got the email for tropical eneloop too. Are they just the same as Rogue other than color design?
Edit- nvm my comment above. I didn't know so many people already got the email.
Woot! Getting the tropicals too
HOLY POOP! They're $50 for 8!! Damn !!
Thats $100 for 16 + Charger pack
BARGAIN!

Hadn't received the above mentioned email.
Just checked the "Junk" folder and there it was - even the Spam Filter recognises that DSE is rubbish.
We would like to advise that all orders will dispatched from the 17th of March 2014.
I can wait, but from the 17th sounds like that's only when they will start sending them out. I wonder how much longer from then we'll have to wait until all the orders are actually fulfilled.
Lol junk mail for me too
They bloody better send the damn charger + 4 AAs too though!
Is it true that when licked they taste tropical?
Nah, all the flavours on the inside. Take a bite and taste the rainbow!
Metallic aftertaste though.
Unfortunately due to stock limitations we are no longer able to offer the 16 x AA "Rouge" Batteries. However we are excited to be able to offer 2 packs of the new limited edition Tropical Batteries as replacement.
We would like to advise that all orders will dispatched from the 17th of March 2014. If this offer is unsuitable; please contact our friendly customer service team on 1300 366 644 to cancel your order.

Where is my charger Dick? What do you people think about this?
Wondering the same thing, does that mean that I get charger as well, or does it mean I only get two coloured packs?
how could that be possibly worded to confuse you about that? There is only one way to find out for certain though…
Would be nice if they actually mentioned they would be sending the charger too, it would probably save them all the phone calls.
2x? : quantity?
The 1st sentence of the email mentions "our recent Eneloop Charger & 16x AA Batteries Promotion". The rest mentions delaying the order while selected stock items are replenished ("Rouge" replaced by "Tropical").
I just called them and they confirmed that a charger will come with the tropical batteries
Got the same email. I was a bit down as I did not use the 30% code but ordered 2 sets so it this works out it might be all good
The downside of tropical is they are all different colours. The Rouge there are two of each shade of 'Rouge'. Making it easy to keep them in pairs. For battery nuts thats important. But I havent even been offered tropical from last weeks offer, Im still "awaiting fulfillment".
Except you're getting 2 sets, so they're easy to pair off.
It's turning into freaking Noah's ark at my place now!!
valid point. Cmon Tropical, I havent got any pineapple and rum punch vomit yellow.
A fashion tragic would pair by colour. A battery nut would monitor the capacity of individual batteries and use that to group them
So the question remains….
Did dicksmith stuff up?
It was probably a disgruntled employee who inadvertently made a pricing error …on purpose ;-)
Or acts of a hacker?
The 'professionals' strike again.
Anyone else still stuck on awaiting fulfillment? Haven't received any correspondence from dick Smith either.
Yep, guess the status won't change before the 17th.
same here. no email received.
Yep I am too. And no email either. Plenty will be I assume.
Same here no email.
The original "Order acknowledgement" email came through to my regular email Inbox, but the "Dick Smith Order Update" email that others have reported Unfortunately due to stock limitations, blah blah blah… ended up in the Spam folder for me.
Is your Spam filter intercepting it?
It was. Woohoo
Note, if youre using Gmail, click "All Mail" and it will be there. I was clicking trash and the other folders in Gmai, nadda. Click all mail, and there it was:
2 packs Tropical, send date 17th Mar.
Thank you Tuba. Gmail has automatically filed the update email from DSE under Promotions. So when I clicked All Mail, there it was.
No worries. I aim to please. My wife is happy if I aim.
FYI, you can DISABLE the Tabbed Inbox in gmail…

Order is still Awaiting Fulfillment, but I got the Update email.
Does anyone know if tropicals include charger as well?
yes, someone has commented above that they called dick smith and it was confirmed that we will be receiving the charger with these
Got my gift cards ;)
Got the charger only, called them they said they processed a manual order for me for the Tropical.
got a confirmation email with the usual because of overwhelming response and cant fulfil the order with 2x 8packs of rouge eneloops and will be replaced by tropical eneloopos instead and wont be shipped to after the 17th
i'm not in a rush and got new tropical ones nice…
And yet they are continuing to sell the Rouge colour??
http://www.dicksmith.com.au/camera-accessories/eneloop-tones…
That listing is marked "Temporarily out of stock", so you can't order it.
being sent tropical as replacement… better than nuffin.
Instead of the second 8x pack they are sending me a $40 gift card…it should be delivered tomorrow, maybe I can use it to buy more eneloops ;)
"Good Afternoon,

In regards to your enquiry, please be informed that your $40 gift card has been dispatched on 12/03/2014.
You can tracking the delivery status on Star Track with this consignment number DSxxxxxx in this link below:
http://sttrackandtrace.startrack.com.au/DSxxxxxx
If you have any further enquiries please do not hesitate to contact us via email."
That was quick I called them yesterday and I received my Tropical today.
My order arrived today, but unfortunately someone at DSE missed the memo about the extra 16 AA's, as I only received the standard charger and 4 AA's pack. Not having much luck with these Eneloops, they forgot to send out my order from the AAA's deal a few weeks ago, still waiting for those.
Same for everybody just call their 1300 number and they will send out the new Tropical batteries for you.
As I said I called yesterday and received today and strange I received in two separate packages one big box and one bubble envelope.
Oh no!!, What are you going to do then?
My charger plus tropicals shipped today, huzzah!
I just got an email saying that the order has been shipped as well :) It says the delivery includes:
Got the same email too. Howzat!
same, mine have been shipped … bazinga !!

Eneloop party at my place next weekend.
(BYO) Bring your own batteries
to throw at each others?
hope its not like the movie "The Watch"… "Why does someone need so many batteries?"
Blind each other with our cree torches. Stumble over to Dominos for some cheap pizza & afterwards we can all storm maccas for some hack McFlurry & McChicken 'patty nugget' goodness.
Only if they have bargains on offer.
and who knows…maybe we can try out our free condoms from pinchme :P
Based on your username, half of you are welcome.
Got my shipment notice and invoice. I think I have enough Gen 3 eneloops AAs to last me till Gen 5 is released.
Need a few more AAAs.
Received my order however the 16 pack of AA eneloop was missing! Anyone else have the same problem?
No, youre the first.
I didnt neg ya, youre an idiot, but I couldnt be stuffed with the neg vote. Bugger it, Im gonna plus vote ya. Just to mess with people. Everyone should do the same, plus the dudes post.
Check up there what to do.

Me too … same thing … the 2x4 extra batteries that came with the chargers made the deal even better.
did u have to sign for it… I cbf rolling out of bed
got mine too…
Mine are with driver.
Wait, this isnt twitter.
Just got mine - nice score, my first set of Eneloops.
Am I correct in thinking that the supplied charger "BC-KJN4B40TA" isn't a smart charger? The general advice is to not use it and but a proper smart charger like a La Crosse?
It's like comparing a "smart phone" to a "regular phone". If all you want to do is make phone calls then a "regular phone" is fine.
If all you want to do is charge batteries this charger is also fine.
But it does have limitations.
It charges batteries in pairs (2 or 4 batteries at a time). If you charge one flat battery and one not so flat in the same pair it can be detrimental to battery life so it is better to keep them together in pairs (easy to match up with the different colours of the "Tropical" eneloops supplied with this deal) so they will always keep roughly the same capacity. If you have a device that uses one, three or five batteries though this charger is less than ideal, but if the left overs are fully discharged in the same device they should be coming from the same starting point and it shouldn't affect the odd batteries too much to charge them together.
A smart charger can do other things like charge/discharge cycles, battery conditioning and test actual battery capacity but to a lot of people this is not important.
In my opinion, no need to throw away the BC-KJN4B40TA. If you only want to make phone calls (I mean charge batteries), unless you really want to maximise what you get out of them or use a lot of rechargables you are probably better off investing the extra money in a couple more sets of eneloops (when a good deal like this one comes along), and accept the limitations of the charger.
That said I do have (one of the cheaper) lacrosse chargers at home.
This charger runs on a timer AFAIK. So any battery not specifially spec'd (ie: 2000mAh AA, and 700mAh AAA) is going to be either over or under charged.
Any correctly spec'd battery will be over charged unless depleted completely before charging.
Lastly, if youre like me and dont wait until batteries are flat, instead keeping them well charged and the item ready for use, this charger is not ideal.
Maha c9000 Wizard
LaCrosse 900, not the 700.
Accupower IQ328
Will give you more functionality, like conditioning batteries.
Or simple smart charger.
Panasonic BQ392 (I dissed this one, but it seems it might be OK as a basic smart charger)
This last one is a decent price too. http://www.fasttech.com/product/1136300-authentic-panasonic-…
But you might be waiting a few (3-4) weeks for FT to deliver.
Dont thank me, I didnt post the charger, someone else did.
Received mine this morning. Lost my Enloop virginity
Got mine this morning too. Now I need to find the way to use them.
Just arrived, thanks for the posting aaronbarron.
And did everyones arrive in a box big enough for a toaster or something?
I think they have a flat fee for that size box (from the courier) so everything small would be in that box size.
Loool, someone in DSE missed things up. Last week they sent me $40 gift cards, and now received 2x pk of batteries.
First time DSE miss up in my favor
DING DING!! WINNER!!!
OMG !
Mine one was even better. Ordered 2x $100 gift cards last November and got 4x $110 delivered.
lool, lucky you! I feel bad and good in same time for them!
bad because I dont want to take something that I dont deserve for somebody mistake.
and good due to the bad experiences I had with them.
I may return the gift cards :)
