    I've been waiting for a deal on Eneloops from DSE… It's been days since I saw the last one!!! :)

    • ChickenTalon on 21/08/2014 - 08:45

      You haven't seen the chocolat 8xAA pack this cheap yet. Previous best was a 34.95 double 8x pack, good if you want/need 16 batteries.

    They are now made in China, just like Aldi LSD's which cost $6.99 for a 4 pack.
    Hopefully they are worth the extra money?

        Evidence of what.. That they are made in China?
        People on here have already bought these new gen Pano Eneloops sold at DSE and have confirmed it!

      • serideth on 21/08/2014 - 15:59

        I bought the 8 pack tropical one last week from COTD but was fulfilled by DSE (had a DSE invoice and packing slip. The back stated made in Japan.

        • Snoop on 21/08/2014 - 16:21

          Are they the new Panasonic or actually the older Sanyo branded ones?

    • Reddog888 on 21/08/2014 - 09:06

      Yes they are. The Aldi ones go flat in a week or two.

          The pack I ordered over the weekend just arrived (2x $34.95). I've taken a pic of the back of the pack for those interested. It says Made in China, but I get the feeling that most folks are basing their opinion on perception rather than facts.

          thanks for posting this - theres a lot of posts allover the web stating 'bk-3mcce' are made in japan and or china with no evidence or reason why.

        • Reddog888 on 21/08/2014 - 10:22

          And I wasn't responding to you but commenting on luke73's comment 'Hopefully they are worth the extra money'.

        • Snoop on 21/08/2014 - 10:30

          @snoo:
          The evidence was perfectly clear in the comments from a lot of people who have bought these from other recent DSE deals posted on here!!!
          The bit about the Japanese ones being produced and shipped to other parts of the world is still very much unconfirmed though!!!

          I also emailed MI & they replied suggesting these Chocolat batteries are a DSE Only Exclusive Line - whatever that 'really' means.

      • rxjb on 21/08/2014 - 09:41

        My Aldi ones are great. Have them in a torch which sits in the car and a wireless mouse. THey function like any other LSD battery.

        How many cycles I get will be interesting to see. Is there any way to determine this?

        • Reddog888 on 21/08/2014 - 10:24

          Not a lot as per my comment above. I am very disappointed in the Aldi batteries. You may be lucky but the various packs I have purchased have all been poor.

        • WatchNerd on 21/08/2014 - 10:37
          +1

          You should return them. Aldi are very good with faulty products.
          Mine have also worked great in a cheap power hungry wireless mouse and pvr remote. They last for months.
          Are you using a smart charger?

    • rdhupar on 21/08/2014 - 09:15

      Just because something is made in China doesnt equate to the same quality for all products. There are heaps of factories with different quality control for each. Unless the same factory with the same quality control manufacture both products, there will most likely be a difference.

    I'm going to to against the OzBargain majority here and say these Eneloop 'bargains' are getting pretty tired. They're at this price so often that it hardly constitutes a bargain in my opinion.

    • Snoop on 21/08/2014 - 09:14

      There is a mountain of chatter, and no actual facts/evidence. It has everything to do with perceptions.

    • Snoop on 21/08/2014 - 09:19
      +1

      The general consensus is that they're not as good… But this is purely based on the country of manufacture. Realistically, none of us have had them for long enough to prove that they're inferior!

  • frysie on 21/08/2014 - 09:20

    can someone please tell me hwat the go is with these ? higher mAH ?

    • Snoop on 21/08/2014 - 09:25
      +2

      Yes, now made in China, up from 1900 to 2000mAh, recharge up from 1800 to 2100 times, lower retention down from 70% to 65%, unproven quality (good or bad) against previous Japanese made Eneloops!!!

          @ChickenTalon:
          Yes, technically it's a deal… But very much becoming like petrol. Yeah, it's $1.50 today, but you know it'll be back to $1.40 in a couple of days time.
          I don't why (actually I do) DSE continue to jump the price up & down the way they do!

      • Boshait on 22/08/2014 - 12:08

    • ChickenTalon on 21/08/2014 - 09:53

      The Quick charger is recommended. $29.99 from Masters, also includes 4x AA batteries.

      • Snoop on 21/08/2014 - 10:01
        +1

        There's also the MCR06 Quick Charger with the older gen Eneloop AAs on clearance at $20 from Masters. But there's very limited stock out there now!!!
        Edit: Everyone also raves about the La Crosse and Maha chargers!!!

      • morini on 21/08/2014 - 10:29
        +1

        I have heard, but can't confirm, that quick charging reduces long term battery life and that you should be charging at low current. (10+ hours for an AA)

        Edit: According to Sanyo, "Though it is possible to charge an eneloop battery in a "Quick Charger", it is not recommended.*We recommend charging eneloop batteries in a NiMh charger that is 2 hours or more. Charging eneloop batteries in a "Quick Charger" can reduce the overall life of the battery. It is strongly recommended to use eneloop, GE/Sanyo or Sanyo NiMh battery chargers. We only warrant eneloop if used with an eneloop, GE/Sanyo or Sanyo NiMh battery charger. "
        [From other research it sounds like 10+ hours is too long. Maybe aim for 2-4 hours, or about 700mA)

        • Snoop on 21/08/2014 - 11:07
          +1

          It's not as clear cut as that statement makes it to be!!!
          Without doubt, a cheap quick charger could cook your batteries if it doesn't detect the peak and shut off! But likewise, a cheap overnight charger could do the same. Getting a decent smart charger with poroper cutoff technology, not just timer based, is the way to go!

      • Grok on 21/08/2014 - 10:45

        The Eneloop Quick/Smart charger from Masters is out of stock everywhere.

        Anywhere else you can buy these chargers without paying $50?

        you can see them testing out their durability on youtube.
        pretty rough tests in my opinion.

      • turbodude on 21/08/2014 - 11:27

        From that page the specs say 375mA x 4 or 750mA x 2. Seems very low as I charge my eneloops at a conservative rate of 700mA 4 at a time in my Maha C9000 and can charge much higher if I want. Is that spec right?

      Chuck the dead batteries in a dumb charger for 5 minutes to charge them a bit and then chuck them back in the la crosse charger. They should work again. With the la crosse charger if they are completely dead flat the la crosse wont charge them.

      • morini on 21/08/2014 - 15:15

        This is actually what La Crosse recommend (though they say only 30 seconds in a cheap charger)

        • jason101 on 21/08/2014 - 20:47

          I've found that by leaving batteries not initially regonized by my La Crosse (as they are dead flat) in the La Crosse overnight, at some point in the night they have "woken up" and started to charge, then worked 100% per normal again.

          I'm sure its not great for the batteries, but its made my day (more than once).

    • hj0809 on 21/08/2014 - 19:16

      This is due to 'whiskers' within the battery causing a short. If you ptu them in a dumb charger it will cause them to melt/remove SC and work again.

      Should be 0v if you measure it with a multimeter.

    • Snoop on 22/08/2014 - 08:25

      He's right. As DSE are currently the only ones bringing these battery packs in, they set the "standard price"! No matter how ridiculous it is, or the fact that they're "on sale" every second day!
