It's been a while…
Anyway, thought we should also join in the recent Eneloop party (better late than never?)
For eBay Plus members, have 8 (2x 4-Packs) Eneloop AA or AAAs posted for $19.50
These are all made in Japan
Link for AAAs:

Thanks :)
Yes, but not enough at this stage to do a deal. Will be doing an order next week for more and can do a deal then
Any idea how much more expensive the Pros will be ?
I'll do a good deal. But will need to see how many I can secure first. Will let you know when I can.
Aren't the Ikea ladda batteries just reskinned pros?
That's what people keep saying :)
Not exactly. Ikea perform well enough, but have fewer recharge cycles than the Eneloop pros. Ikea batts likely out of the same factory but at a lower (albeit good enough) grade.
Are they two 4-packs or a single 8-pack?
Two 4-packs, have updated the description to include that. Thanks
Would it be possible for a deal with one 4-Pack of AA and one 4-Pack of AAA?
Also what's the production date on these batteries?
AA production 01/2018
AAA production between 12/2017 to 03/2018
Yes if you would like to buy one 4-pack of AA and a 4-pack of AAA, you can proceed to purchase through any of the above listings, but on the Order page please include a message to substitute one of the packs out. Thanks
@EcoMates: There wasn't a field to add a message when I placed my order. I've sent an eBay message after the order. Thanks.
@johnnyle: You're correct. Had another look at the checkout page and found it. Good to know for next time.
Whats the consensus on Eneloop Std or Eneloop Pro ? Obviously higher mAH in Pro but reduced number of cycles (500 vs 2100).
What do people here prefer to use?
Depends what you're using them for.
Is the item a slow drawing infrequent use item like a remote, or high drawing equipment like a camera flash?
Probably both tbh
Which one is more suited to a Camera flash?
I've used regular Eneloops in camera flashes for years, and have have been very happy with them. I do have one set of Pros that I've used, and didn't notice a lot of difference.
The Pros. Much higher capacity to last longer. And a flash is pretty demanding.
In general the Pros will obviously give you a longer life per charge being a higher capacity, but you have to weigh up the cost difference and life cycles too.
Anyone have an opinion on which would be best for an xbox controller?
In reality even with 500 charges you’re looking at lasting nearly 10 years if you charge them once a week. So better off getting the higher capacity.
If you aren't sure, go non pro. Reasons for non-Pro:
- Very VERY long life. A decade or more.
- Hold charge much longer ie in a flash light used a few times a year.
Eneloop pro is for high demand, high cycle. They aren't built for the long game.
You are selling batteries, why you don't sell Eneloop charger?
In my opinion, Eneloop Charger generally aren't the best charger.
Their (Sanyo) cheap little 4 battery Delta smart charger that came in the pack is a great charger.
I bought a Liitokala Li-402 on special a few months back .. was under 10 bucks .. and found it to be a great basic smart charger.
If you want ability to test and decharge/charge cells then I think best to go for Li-500 (roughly $25), but others here may have other recommendations
also.
whats the consensus on Eneloop vs the Ikea Laddas?
It's believed the Laddas are rebadged Eneloop Pros, so represent very good value if that's what you need.
The general consensus is that they should have called them Sveneloop Pros. Cheaper and tastier than a serve of meatballs.
Oh it requires eBay plus. What a stinker.
Why? There's a free 30 day trial. Even if you've already used the trial on your main eBay account, surely all of your 'housemates' haven't used the trial yet?
Came to $9.50 for me with $10 Ebay Plus trial voucher :)
Damn signed up to eBay plus, saw there was 8 left so had a shower and thought I’d grab one after but it’s sold out now
And the AA are gone…
Bunnings sell AAA Evolta rechargeables all year round for about $8-9, european cells at a great price and they were up there with the envelops and the ikea cells.
Source: I was recently looking to purchase some new AA and AAA rechargeable and ended up going REAL deep down a rabbit hole.
Long story short I stumbled across this article: http://goughlui.com/2016/12/19/great-aa-alkaline-battery-tes…
which tested pretty much very popular option on the market. Evolta seems to be the go to brand for the combo of price/convenience/quality.
Just missed out :(
Why do some packs say they hold 70% while others say 65% after 5 years?
Chinese made versions say 65%.
Just bought a whole heap of Coles rechargeable with 5% off eGift cards. It does feel weird being a long time Ozbargainer with no Eneloops though (I bought up big on Alkalines years ago and haven't run out yet).
All sold out. Thanks for your support!
We'll update with more stock when we get some
Any ideas of an ETA? Even rough estimate so I know when to check back :) Thanks
Should be able to secure some more in around 2 weeks time
Ok great! Cheers
Look forward until then!
With everyone speculating about the Ikea batteries, thought I should remind people that the Fujitsu IS DEFINITELY the same battery as the Eneloop. And I've been purchasing these for the past few years at %30-50 off the price of the Eneloop branded ones.
Hoping you get more AAAs in stock!
Received my order today.
Parcel and Battery package got pretty beat up in the post…
