Dicksmith has Tropical AA and Chocolat AAA batteries available to click and collect for $19.98. I tried a few postcodes around the country and was showing C&C stock for all. Some Chocolat AA available for C&C too.

Might not be as good as last month's $14.98 + $7.95 Postage deals, but if you want click and collect this is the best deal I can remember.

Part of the "XXXL SALE! TODAY ONLY!" sale so you'd better hurry, (or just wait for tomorrow's sale).

Edit: The 4xAA + 4xAAA Combi Pack pack as suggested by raven2000 is $21 C&C with stock available in some of the smallest DS stores.

    :D

    There's actually stock available for C&C in the AAA's this time around.

    I picked up some of these today (Click and Collect). In store they were still trying to sell the 8-pack tropical AA's for $54.

    Bloody ridiculous, the pricing discrepancies between online and in-store are really making me look for alternative stores to shop at.

    • OZB Al on 03/08/2015 - 15:16

      And the fact that in the store they are forbidden from matching their own web price is just stupid.

      • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2015 - 20:03

        this! LOL
        I went in to get the DIck Smith car charger and the dude said we can't give it to you for the online price.

        • rickyygee on 03/08/2015 - 21:19

          in that case can't you purchase it online while you're at the store and then just collect it there? I'm not sure exactly how click and collect works

        • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2015 - 21:22

          @rickyygee:

          I went to collect my LED globes and asked if I could get the car charger for the online price. I didn't know they were on special until a few hours before.

  • Tomika on 03/08/2015 - 15:18

    It's back!!!

  • Ringu on 03/08/2015 - 15:25

    How do you guys recharge these, or do they come with a re-charger?

    • padman on 03/08/2015 - 15:35

      You create a loop of eneloops, each one charging another.

    • blahman on 03/08/2015 - 15:38

      To recharge, simply flip the ends of the batteries around. This way instead of battery power going out, you get energy going in to recharge the batteries.

        These might be the new batteries that's equiped with microwave charging technology, Panasonis has done a software update on the Eneloops earlier this year.

        I think it's also adopted by apple with firmware upgrade to enable microwave charging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYbSkAsYEME

        • cainn on 03/08/2015 - 16:11

          I must say that it bothers me a little that Panasonic can beam firmware updates into my Eneloops whenever they like.

          As for Microwave charging itself my own appliance is otherwise occupied so I personally wont be trying it any time soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ioal_-iqDLg

  • ToobsAU on 03/08/2015 - 15:37

    The packaging on the tropicals shows "70%" precharge so is it safe to assume they the Japanese cells?
    The rest of DSE's standard grade Eneloop cells seems to all be the "65%" precharged / chinese cells right?

    • OZB Al on 03/08/2015 - 15:40

      Safer to assume it's an old photo and they are Chinese.

    • sylvester328 on 03/08/2015 - 15:43
      +1

      I noticed the same thing but check out the second picture on the page: it shows 65%. The product description also says 65%. They are Chinese batteries. I don't think I'll bother with them. No hope to get the Japanese ones now. Fortunately I have a friend coming over from Japan next month…

      • WatchNerd on 03/08/2015 - 15:47

        Yep if these aren't $15.00 Click & Collect, then may as well get the Aldi LSD rechargeable batteries.
        $5.99 for a 4 pack of AA/AAA everyday price.

    • ToobsAU on 03/08/2015 - 15:46

      Thanks guys… I think I'll check in store / forget these cells.

    • NoRotation on 03/08/2015 - 15:54

      There are new cells from China that show 70%. It seems that cells made after 05/15 are going to be 70% but still made in China.

      • ToobsAU on 03/08/2015 - 17:40

        I checked stock in the gunghalin store when I picked up my c&c order and you are right, newer eneloops seem to say 70% but list made in China on the pack… None of the batteries I checked said made in Japan, all were made in China.

    For 73 cents more go for the Rouge AA's instead. If you can find them. Available at Redbank QLD.

      • ESEMCE on 03/08/2015 - 15:52

        These are Japanese..

        • Gomo on 03/08/2015 - 15:52

          But it says ROUGE?

          They are Sanyo-branded but I can't find any confirmation of where they're made.

          Given the model number is HR-3UTGB8-RTM, they are 3rd-generation and all of the 3rd-generation Eneloops are Chinese-made as far as I can see.

      But they're not AAA?

    • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2015 - 16:46

      What are the benefits of the Rouge Eneloops over the Chocolat and Tropical versions?

      • sylvester328 on 03/08/2015 - 17:15
        +2

        Made in Japan but third generation, i.e. recharged up to 1,800 times rather than 2,100 times.

        • MJD682 on 03/08/2015 - 18:24

          Also slightly higher capacity retention 70% Vs 65%

        • supersabroso on 03/08/2015 - 23:00

          How is being recharged 300 times less a benefit? Furthermore, unless you actually leave these batteries operating for 3-5 years (why buy a rechargeable in that case), the higher capacity is better.

          Ie. The 65% retention with more capacity and more lifecycles is better if you need to charge your batteries within 0-52 weeks isn't it?

          More importantly, because despite the claims, the Chinese cells have been shown to be vastly inferior to the Japanese ones.

    These are regularly available for $14.98 so would not recommend anyone buy at this price unless you need these ASAP.

    • ESEMCE on 03/08/2015 - 16:20
      +2

      AAA's aren't normally available for C&C, so definitely a bargain for them.

      • sylvester328 on 03/08/2015 - 17:20
        +2

        True. But mind you: if you buy two packs, postage will still be $7.95. In this case, it is better to wait for $14.98 deal to come again.

        • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2015 - 20:04

          ok I shall do that.

        • supersabroso on 03/08/2015 - 23:24

          Yep, bottom line is that by next month these will be back on special at a lower price. Don't buy now unless you only want the one pack of AAA batteries.

  • murkywater on 03/08/2015 - 16:27

      Absolutely!

      Just remember to buy additional batteries for your stomach pump.

  • AXiS on 03/08/2015 - 17:13

    Any recommendations for chargers for them? Don't care about quick-charging (reduces long-term life), but the eneloop-branded chargers on DSE's site are fairly expensive.

        Yup this one. Great charger. Added bonus, it can charge almost every type of battery under the sun, AA, AAA, C, D, 18650, 14500, 10400, lifePO4, RCR123A, etc.

  • [Deactivated] on 03/08/2015 - 17:14

    These have been on sale for $20 for the past 2 weeks. XD
