    hmm pros with higher capacity but less recharge cycles or vanillas with lower capacity but more recharge cycles?

    • lostn on 05/07/2016 - 00:26

      Pros. You're unlikely to use up all of your recharge cycles. That is 2100 times per battery.

      Suppose you charge those batteries every day, that is 5.7 years to kill them. I'm not sure what kind of usage would require daily charging. If you're recharging them once per week that would be over 40 years of usage. Twice a week? 20 years.

      Realistically, do you think you'll use up all of your charges?

      It's no big deal that you have fewer charge cycles. But every charge is getting you a benefit over the standard batteries in battery life.

      Get the Pros.

      EDIT: I might be wrong.

      The description says

      Recharge up to 2,100 times

      Your initial investment is quickly recovered

      However, the image on the box says 500 times, which is still a lot. Looks like Bing Lee stuffed up.

      I still recommend the pros over the standard. You'll naturally replace these eventually anyway.

      • garage sale on 05/07/2016 - 08:36

        I have the Eneloop XX, they are the older version of Panasonic Pros, I also have the regular eneloops (chocolate)
        I'm a wedding photographer and can say there isn't much difference between them when I use them in my flash, however after 2.5 years the Pros have lost 1/4th of their capacity even though I haven't used them too much, under 50-60 charges. It is also very important to have a good charger, cheap eBay express chargers will stuff them up much sooner than the overnight chargers. I would recommend you buy a good battery charger which will cost you ~$80

      well those were clearance items if you were lucky enough to find stock.

      Only a few masters had actual stock

      I managed to get 10 X 8 pack chocolates from cotd for free last year with a $10 off code = 8 orders

      Doesn't change the fact that this is the cheapest deal at time of posting for eneloops

      Are you trying to boast?

  • easternculture on 04/07/2016 - 18:42

    Cheaper than the Groupon deal posted earlier

    8 eneloops for $25 ( 2 x 4 packs)

    The smart battery charger with 4 eneloops is a bargain for $30

    Family pack is a decent price but still comes with a dumb charger

    • aec on 04/07/2016 - 21:15

      how do you the smart charger comes with 4 eneloops?

      • easternculture on 04/07/2016 - 21:30
        +1

        It's on the packaging

        However not sure how smart it is . It might be a smart dumb charger when comparing it to the la crosse bc700

        • aec on 04/07/2016 - 22:57

          hope it is smarter or as smart as ikea's charger.

    I like to imagine that if OzB ever started a secret fight club, flashing a tattoo of an eneloop on the inside of your wrist would gain you entry. I'd better stop taking about it…

      Does aldi do a smart/fast charger as well and is it compatible with eneloops? If so do you know how much it costs? Thanks

        I got the Aldi multi charger for about $15 a year ago.
        Brilliant unit with LCD readout of current charge

        • brake on 06/07/2016 - 16:33

          Thanks man, can it work with Eneloops and is it a fast charger?

          @brake: Yes it regularly charges AA & AAA eneloops from flat in about one hour. Is that considered a fast charger?

          @yoyomablue:

          Yep that is fast! My eneloop charger takes all day, I'd say 8-10 hours easily

          I'll definitely be grabbing one the next time they are available at Aldi (I assume they aren't always available?)

          Thanks!

  • RichardL on 04/07/2016 - 18:54

    Are Eneloop Pro, China or Japan?

    • easternculture on 04/07/2016 - 18:55

      Some are China and some Japan

      I know for a fact that the ones from Amazon are from Japan

      • RichardL on 04/07/2016 - 18:56

        Might go in store and check it out then. Thanks.

          These might sell out quickly

    • epicttiimm on 04/07/2016 - 19:01

      If I recall correctly, Panasonic Eneloops are China, and Sanyo Eneloops (rare now) are from Japan.

      • easternculture on 04/07/2016 - 19:21

        Japanese eneloops are not rare . Plenty on Amazon

        Was in Japan 1 month ago, and all the Panasonic Eneloops are made in Japan there. lol. Even the regular panasonic eneloops were made in Japan
        I think its just the export ones which are now made in China.

    These are still better value, $2.55 each for AA and $1.04 (!!) for the AAA and as long as you get stock from the Australian warehouse the delivery cost is quite reasonable. I did a dummy order up ( to check postage costs) with 10 x AA and 10x AAA and it was only about $6 postage.
    The delivery time can be a bit slow occasionally but the savings are worth it.

  • Maximus76 on 04/07/2016 - 22:01

    I have bought heaps of AA & AAA but only buy them when they are 8x for $15 including postage, Has been a while since they have had that deal on here but it will happen again

    No stores in Melb, so $9 postage for me. Kind of kills the deal.

    I still have too many packs unopened from years ago, so I don't need this.

  • dm01 on 05/07/2016 - 00:57

    Likewise noticed the excessive P&H in the checkout. $7 for 1x 4pk AA to South Australia, then doubles to $14 if I add a second pack - no thanks, will give this one a miss. Only seems worthwhile if you're in NSW and pickup from in the store.

  • PrimalNuke on 05/07/2016 - 06:29

    As someone who owns zero eneloops, is this a good deal to get a basic kit? After the end of Dick Smith, eneloop deals seem to have dried up.

  • neonlight on 05/07/2016 - 08:19

  • neonlight on 05/07/2016 - 13:17

    A lot of places out of stock unless you willing to drive further.

    IMO, Eneloop Pro is worth it as eBay costs more than these

  • neonlight on 05/07/2016 - 14:26

    FYI the Eneloop pros here appears to be Japanese ones with searching the SKU.

    If someone can verify SKU is reliable way to know if they are Japan made.

      Are the Chinese made Eneloops still worth it?

      Answered my own question with a google search: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?392229-Ja…

      Interesting that in this guys test the China made eneloops start dropping off around the 300 charge cycle mark. Since I'd probably never get anywhere near close to that, I'm not too fussed where they are made.

      • neonlight on 06/07/2016 - 08:19

        Well after reading that thread, I think from now on I will only source Japanese made Eneloops I rather pay a bit more for Eneloop pros which are made in Japan rather than the regular Chinese ones. Sure they are cheaper but seriously not worth it. I'm fairly disappointed they moved production to China losing quality at it.

        I've stopped buying Eneloops for a while after trying the DSE specials for 8xAAA chocolate ones, which performed very poorly. I highly recommend not to buy chinese Eneloops.

        It's really just a name now with crap quality but high price tag.

        Hobbyking turnigy is the go next when this Eneloop brand kills off all Japanese made cells.
