This is a duplicate of an expired deal from August as the LADDA stock seems to be fully replenished in most IKEA stores - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/263408

These are highly suspected to be the Fujitsu FDK/Eneloop Pros.

Links about them being the same:
http://budgetlightforum.com/node/47233 - review by battery expert HKJ, he says they have the same discharge curve
http://www.provideocoalition.com/ikea-batteries-eneloops-dis…

Free IKEA Family membership.

I had purchased Eneloop Pros through the Bing Lee deal but they are out of stock at the moment and not fulfilling Click and Collect orders quickly. The IKEA LADDAs seem to be the exact same battery for a cheaper price.

There were 160 packets of AAs in stock at IKEA Rhodes today when I checked - they were located confusingly in the IKEA Family section and not the Lighting/Battery section.

LADDA 2450mAh AAs are in stock in Canberra, Logan, Marsden Park, North Lakes, Rhodes, Springvale, Tempe, and Tasmania.
Adelaide has 3 in stock for $10.95.
Richmond and Perth look like they are out of stock.

The AAAs are $7.99 and are found at http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/90303880/

There are also Eneloop Lite style variants which are cheaper:

    What's the difference between eneloops and your run of the mill duracell or engerizer battery

    • kev98 on 01/01/2017 - 16:05

      Eneloops are rechargeable and pretty

    • Newtz4 on 01/01/2017 - 16:15

      Low self discharge.

    • rekabkram on 01/01/2017 - 16:27
      +10

      Imagine a battery that lasts as long as your good Duracell or energisers, but rather than throwing it in the bin when it's flat you put it in a smart charger (I use a Maha Powered C9000) and then use it again for hundreds of cycles. They're also low self discharge (lsd) meaning that if they're sat there for 6 months they'll retain at least 80% charge while cheaper rechargeables would likely be flat by then.

      Over eneloops I personally buy Hobbyking Turnigy AA/AAA's as most rechargeables (eneloops included) state the mAh and overstate them. So a 2400 mAh battery could only have 2150mAh, Turnigy state the minimum mAh (I've had 2400mAh that are 2550). May seem silly but it's a big swing.

        Current delivery is more relevant for most items that need high drain batteries. Eneloops, Fujitsu, and these Ikeas kick every other AAs AAAs ass in that. Having buckets of volume, but a tiny outlet is only good for pressure blasters.

        Eneloop Pro, Fujitsu and Ikea will deliver high current for AA and AAA well into their life cycle too. Chinese Eneloops will die off sharply after 500 cycles as will most other batteries not made at the old Twicell factory (Jap/Sanyo Eneloops, Fujitsu, Ikea apparently). The Pros sold in Aus still come from Japan, std Eneloops from China.

        • rekabkram on 01/01/2017 - 17:13

          Eneloop pro's are great for high drain devices, but most devices aren't high drain and it was general info. I would assume that if the op needed them for his massive camera flash or whatever then he'd have done his research after tearing through hundreds of dollars worth energisers.

        Interesting. How do you know it's the enelopp pro, not the eneloop? Higher capacity? I own these, too.

      • KOBH on 01/01/2017 - 16:55

        Are they made in Japan?

        • Tuba on 01/01/2017 - 17:01

          Guess, but they would be as Eneloop Pros still come from Japan. Without confirmation from Ikea, and you wont get that, tests are all there is. HKJ, is a well respected and long time tester of electronics. If he thinks they are Pros, its about as close to a guarantee you will get they are. He runs test doodads and computer analysis on the batteries, not just a torch and a stopwatch. The output curves are pretty telling if you compare them.

          Stolen from HKJ, the versions he has access too, European stock, they are Japanese. http://lygte-info.dk/pic/Batteries2013NiMH/Ikea%20Ladda%20AA%202450mAh%20(White)/DSC_4639a.jpg

        • jlogic on 01/01/2017 - 23:42

          @oscarmanutdfan:

          This generally confirms that this is FDK stock. There aren't many NiMH battery factories out there these days in Japan, hence why the need to sell the original Eneloop factories to another party. Panasonic got stuck with Made in China.

    • scar4ace on 01/01/2017 - 19:02

      4xAAA at ALDI also $5.99. Hope they're good, just jumped on the eneloop inspired bandwagon and bought an AA and AAA pack + their $20 smart charger this week. It's all made in China though.

      • zealmax on 01/01/2017 - 20:02

        I bought the charger too. When I charged my Eneloops they became really hot. It maybe for the first charge only. They were being detected as 0% capacity even thought they were fully charged using Eneloop charger(with -Delta V). When I inserted the batteries into the charger, day after being fully charged, they were being read as 90%. Just to be safe, I attached a bendy USB fan to the charger, and none of the batteries ever heat up now.

        • scar4ace on 01/01/2017 - 22:28

          Yep I just opened it all up and put a couple of the AAs on charge, Started at 70% and went up to full over 5mins. Reinsert battery after full and percentage builds up again from 70%. Stays at 90% for far too long this time.

          Both times batteries are hot, not drop it hot but enough to be uncomfortable. Getting concerned.

          Also the charger box seems to be repackaged (possibly a return?) the circular sticker around the edge was cut across and a second one badly stuck on top to cover the first one.

        • zealmax on 02/01/2017 - 00:03

          @scar4ace: I also tried the DSE LSD batteries, takes a long time to charge but didnt heat up. Try attaching USB fan, the batteries are cool to touch throughout the charging. I bought mine on ebay for $1.25. Used it on the Xiaomi power bank originally. Reading previous review on Ozbargain, Eneloops heating up was mentioned. I am going to try out the activ energy batteries, next time I am at Aldi. I am pretty happy with the charger + USB fan setup.

        • scar4ace on 02/01/2017 - 00:49

          if i manage to get $15 ikea smart charger, may return this. Not just heating issue but also cause its seems to be previous return..

          Otherwise its pretty good bang for buck, will keep checking few more days, was using aldi activ batteries, Think I do have a usb fan somewhere will give it a shot cheers.

        • zealmax on 02/01/2017 - 01:18

          @scar4ace: I had a look at the Ikea charger today, there were plenty at Marsen Park. It looked pretty plain. No bells and whistles. Aldi one is more intuitive. It would be interesting to see if the Eneloops become hot again, then next time I charge them. I hope the first cycle did something and next one will charge without heating up.

        • zealmax on 02/01/2017 - 11:12

          @scar4ace: I just opened up new set of Eneloops that I bought last week and put them in the charger. Initially showing 0%, few minutes later 90% and charging. Batteries are not hot. I think the Eneloops that became hot during charge are my old set from 2013. Now I am beginning to think it is the old batteries that built up too much resistance that are heating up. I will try another set that I bought just before DSE closed down. If these don't heat up then I will conclude it is the battery and not the charger.

        • zealmax on 02/01/2017 - 20:22

          @scar4ace: The new Eneloops became hot, and my other Eneloops also became hot. I originally thought that the new Eneloops didn't heat up, I was wrong. I will be returning this charger. I realised, that I don't need a 9V or a D battery charger.

        • scar4ace on 05/01/2017 - 00:54

          @zealmax:

          Thanks for the update. I wasnt sure it was your old eneloops as my new Aldi ones heated up too.

          From another thread https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/284924#comment-4326967 some heat for quick chargers may be expected, so this might just be acceptable but not ideal for the batteries compared to a slower charger. The eneloop smart ones does the job in 7-8 hours vs aldi/ikea which 3-4 hours.

          Ill try getting my hands on IKEA to do a side by side compare. if heat similar ill probably keep the aldi one for now until I can source a better one online.

          Although, i do find it ironic slightly, that people who use rechargeable batteries end up buying so many different types of batteries/chargers which, after adding running electricity costs, probably cost the same just buying regular disposables.

          When I charged my Eneloops they became really hot. It maybe for the first charge only. They were being detected as 0% capacity even thought they were fully charged

          That's because the charger doesn't realise that they are charged.

          It's stupid to put fully charged batteries into a charger. You know why? Coz they don't need charging DOH.

    • garage sale on 01/01/2017 - 21:29

      aldi are what I normally buy now since Dick Smith has gone as so no more click n collect, and Aldi are readily available, they claim 2400 mah, the eneloop pros I have are are 2450 mah and made in Japan, and my Duracell LSD rechargables are also 2400mah and made in japan.

      I find them all comparable as they all seem to be 2400 mah, and I'm fairly sure their chemical breakdown over years of use is what will kill them rather than the number of times they will be recharged.

      LSD technology is now a mainstream industrial product in batteries.

      There are more interesting technologies that reach 1.5 V when charged, but they aren't as readily available as LSD NIMH, or at the counter of Aldi.

      Love Aldi's everyday low price. Moreover, every trip to Ikea is a pilgrimage, and we always ended up spending too much on crap we don't really need.

      I believe Aldi batteries bang for buck they are OK, but if not made in the old Twicell factory (they arent), wont be as good.

      Yes, smart charger should charge them fine. Aldi charger should be OK too for the above question re: Aldi charger. I havent read any reviews on it so as to quality of that charger I have no comment, but it should work with these batteries.

    • b-radicool on 01/01/2017 - 19:08

      We bought some from the Perth store about 2 months ago. The LADDA 2450mAh ones. At that time, there were plenty left on the shelves. And they seem to charge fine with my smart charger.

      Can't say I've been too impressed with them, to be honest. I think I have a dud battery, of the 8 I bought, as one takes twice as long to charge in my smart charger (Nitecore D4) than the others. And I think this same battery is the same one which makes my Thrunite torch not work at all…

      I think for the price and distance I need to travel to get them from Ikea, I might give the Aldi ones a try next time.

      • bwatt72 on 01/01/2017 - 19:15

    I was at IKEA Tempe yesterday and took the last remaining stock on the shelves - 4 packs. A guy after me took the display pack that was attached with cable ties.

    • Tuba on 01/01/2017 - 20:57

      The real gain here is output current, these are especially good in high drain devices such as high power LED torches, battery soldering irons etc. Remotes dont use high current. High current is not to be confused with capacity.

      These will work fine, but the downside is high current comes at a cost to cycles, these get roughly 500 rechearges. While other LSD with lower current capability can be 1500 or more, such as 1800 in Jap Eneloops/Fujitsu. I dont like Chinese Eneloops so dont count the 2100 as its crap anyway, theyve failed at 500.

    • elusive on 02/01/2017 - 01:58

      If it's an IR remote like the old TV remotes, alkaline is probably still better since they can last years if lightly used.

      Game controllers, modern "smart" remotes (Bluetooth, active radio, etc.), mice, etc. use a lot more power (weeks to months of usage). This is where LSD rechargeables make the most sense.

    • zealmax on 02/01/2017 - 02:14
      +1

      Not worth it, TV remote batteries last 1 year+. You can pickup 14 pack of AAA at Aldi for $5. Enough to last you 7 years+. You realise the value once the battery has been recharged few times, as savings stack every time it is recharged. The batteries don't last forever. Just like your phone batteries, capacity is reduced with every charge and age.
