    great find

    just for reference, a 4-pack of AA are $21.79 at Coles…

  • Jabba the Hutt on 14/07/2010 - 13:52

    I bought a pack in WW at the regular price last week, which was $20.

    The cashback via PayPal was received very quickly, within a few hours of submitting the claim.

    What is the point of these Li-Fe cells?
    For high drain applications, NiMH has nearly the same capacity at a fraction of the cost (and waste!)
    And for long shelf life applications, alkalines will do the job.

    I can these these being used in emergency devices, which might sit idle for years, and then need high-drain.
    Where else?

      the use of non-rechargeable battery should be banned :) ..

        Trouble with rechargeable Lithium batteries is, if proper care is not given to the process they can easily explode causing fires etc

          We are talking about AA cells here. NiMH is reasonably safe. Li-Ion is a totally different chemistry and is normally designed into devices from the start. Then fires are extremely rare.

        • voter1 on 14/07/2010 - 14:27

          How many people do you know exactly that have had exploding batteries - you have more chance at winning the lottery.

          Use wise - I think they are great for emergencies as they highest power and dont drain.

          Otherwise they are best used for camera flashes - even the best rechargable batteries give a 2 second recycle time. These can half that apparently. (you will be paying for it though)

            @voter1: If you are talking about a lithium cell without an IC then the chance of an average consumer causing a fire/leak/explosion is high.

            • eug on 14/07/2010 - 18:07

              @anthony: Have you heard of even one case where a primary lithium cell has caused a fire/leak/explosion?

    • Jabba the Hutt on 14/07/2010 - 14:03

      That's the #1 use. I keep a pair in my emergency backup torch. Another less obvious application is wireless mice, because they're noticably lighter than both alkalines and NiMHs.

      • Chris McMahon on 14/07/2010 - 14:29

        Or you could buy a dynamo torch. Mine cost less than $10 and I'm happy with it. 30 seconds winding gives a couple of minutes of bright light, or about 5 minutes of low light (many-on/one-on LED settings).

        There's also low self-discharge NiMHs. Aldi recently had twin packs for $7, IIRC.

        Buying disposable batteries is literally throwing your money away.

          As has been mentioned many times on these forums before whenever the subject of batteries come up, non-rechargeables still have their place.

          Some appliances do not work correctly (or not at all) on 1.2v and require 1.5v from each cell. I own a Casio piano keyboard that does not work at all with 1.2v cells. It's not an ancient model either: I bought it last year. Simple appliances with motors will run a little slower with 1.2v cells, and torches will be a little dimmer.

          It's not worth putting $2 NiMH cells into remote controls where a 30c carbon-zinc battery will last 3 years. Likewise with wall clocks that run for years on very cheap batteries.

          Lithium cells have a shelf life of 10 years, compared to 2 to 4 for alkaline batteries. I know which I'd prefer in an emergency radio or torch.

          I am all for rechargeables and have been using them for over 20 years, but there are some circumstances where they're not viable.

        • eug on 14/07/2010 - 18:47
          +2

          A dynamo torch? You obviously have low requirements. :)

          Low self-discharge NiMHs don't last seven years.

          As with lots of these things, just because you don't have a need for them doesn't mean they're useless. These definitely aren't for everyone (look at how stupidly expensive they are normally), but they're a very good solution to those who have a use for them.

          If you went on a camping trip, you cannot recharge your nimhs, nor do you want to carry a large bag of nimhs. Unless it's a "camping trip". Solar chargers don't suit every application either - not everyone can wait 16 hours in bright sunlight. Heat is bad for batteries anyway.

          Lithium cells are excellent in low temperatures too. Your handheld GPS would last far longer in the cold on lithiums than normal cells.

          And as Cluster mentioned, not everything works properly with lower voltages. A four-cell device will only get 4.8V on nimhs, instead of 6V with lithium cells. That flashlight would be a lot dimmer at 4.8V than 6V.

          You also get a more predictable discharge curve with lithium primaries. NiMH will be fairly constant then suddenly die off.

          I'm also a huge fan of NiMHs.. I've got a ton of them for my various equipment… but I still see where these cells would be superior.

      Lithium (LiFeS2) batteries have a higher operating voltage than NiMH batteries — between 1.5v-1.4v for most of the life of a LiFeS2 battery compared to 1.3v-1.2v for a NiMH. Some devices require a higher voltage than NiMH batteries provide to function, as Cluster highlights above. Higher voltage can also be handy in camera flashes, as voter1 mentions above, and also in torches. In the case of torches, using lithium batteries will result in a brighter torch, and if the torch has little or no voltage regulation the difference in brightness can be quite dramatic (in some cases, 0.2v less means half the light output).

      That said, for the vast majority of consumer-grade applications out there NiMH batteries are perfectly acceptable, with less impact to your hip pocket and the environment to boot. :)

    • anthony on 14/07/2010 - 15:17

      What is the point of these Li-Fe cells?

      Lithium cells are much better when used in cold areas as they can sustain a higher voltage compared to other cell type.

      Alkaline cells will freeze at -20 degrees rendering them useless.

      Of course the current a lithium can produce at cold temperatures does decrease however at the same temperature a lithium will be able to provide a greater current compared to any other cell type.

    they are $19.99 at woolies.
    still can't justify buying them.
    for me it looks like rechargeable ones is a much better option.

    I'm using it a lot on Canon 580EX Speedlite flash. Worth every penny. Very light batteries. I only use rechargeable for spares.

    • diamondtouch1 on 14/07/2010 - 15:59

      Whats the performance like compared to rechargeable ones? how many shots on each?

      • gerrys on 14/07/2010 - 17:19

        I use it with wireless trigger and setup 1:1 power, it does recycle quite fast compared to rechargeable ones (I use Eneloop).

        For standard usage, about 200-250 pics.

    • Cluster on 14/07/2010 - 17:33

      That's the other thing people miss about lithium 1.5v batteries: the weight difference. I have just put 2x AA lithiums in my mouse in place of the existing NiMH cells. The difference in weight is definately recognisable, and makes a difference when you're pushing a mouse 8 hours a day.

      Flashes require 4 or sometimes 8 AA batteries. Using lithiums results in a significant weight saving which is very welcome when you're carrying the camera all day.

      • Duff5000 on 15/07/2010 - 12:55

        2x nimh is rather heavy in a mouse. My Microsoft mouse lets me use just one anyway so it isnt a big deal. If using rechargable i just leave one battery out.

  • Fuzor on 14/07/2010 - 14:58

    Sweet my clock is running slowly and I think its the batteries. Using this will probably last forever in it. Good deal OP

    • eug on 14/07/2010 - 18:50

      You should have caught the bargain posted the other day. I just got mine yesterday - 8 Energizer lithium AAs for $16, or 16 for $26. :)
