    nice find!

    picked up 2 for $7 (using $5 credit).

    perfect christmas thrown in .

    though reviews of batteries say they are pretty average

    might get some ikea batteries to go with it.

      Xmas present?

      Thanks but no thanks

      • altomic on 05/11/2018 - 06:36

        "Throw in" = a smaller additional present to go with the main present(s)

          Ah, ok the typo didn't help. For some reason I took throwN in to mean "sorted"

          Personally I'm against stocking stuffers since moving into a house with limited storage space, I've been decluttering via ebay and it's taken about a year now. We buy so much that often doesn't get used or ends up in the tip after being held on to for so many years. Im old enough to be quite alert to the waste I produce. Although I don't apply the same rules to my kids.. They're kids after all.

          But fair enough if that's what you want to do

      • pennypincher98 on 05/11/2018 - 06:54

        Stocking stuffer not main present lol.
        And that term can be used loosely, doesn't have to be a literal stocking.

        The AAA batteries seem alright at 2500mah but definitely replace the AA batteries.

          haven't seen one AAA with that high capacity, well worth that $6

          It’s actually the other way around, The AA are 2500mah & AAA are 800mah capacity as I just purchased the last 1 from my local Supercheap

          • pennypincher98 on 05/11/2018 - 18:12

            @custom-consoles: Oh, OP might want to update description then :)
            Thanks for reporting back!

          • yoke2018 on 23/11/2018 - 10:00

            @custom-consoles: 2500 still pretty good for AA. I bought a similar charger from kogan for $50. I’m just going to buy this for the batteries for kid toys and just sell the rechargers for $20 on gumtree lol.

        You must only “celebrate” Christmas for the gifts. Hope you get nothing.

          Hello there Mr unpleasant.

          First of all, you've assumed I'm part of a religion that does celebrate Christmas. That's quite rude.

          Second of all, regardless what I celebrate, I don't care if I get nothing. After a few decades of life, who does? I work and buy what I want at other times of the year and pay less, Christmas is just for the kids and catchups.

          Hope you get some new knickers for your festive season. Yours seem twisted.

    Was picking up my click and collect order today and saw this by chance at the checkout. Purchased in a flash. Seems to be a decent charger but batteries did get hot while charging. I got the last one at the Blackburn Victoria store

  • g12345567 on 04/11/2018 - 23:40

    Is this a fast or slow battery charger? Got a similar looking Aldi Active energy one and need to replace it. This matches one of the Active Energy models sold by Aldi (MD-11954). which is a fast charger.

    Picked up a few of these about a year ago

    Can confirm the AA batteries included are definitely not LSD. They lose charge very quickly on the shelf.

    The AAA's are kind of semi-LSD. They last a lot longer than AA, but not as long as eneloops and other quality LSD batteries.

  • placard on 04/11/2018 - 23:57

    • AussieDaddy on 05/11/2018 - 01:41

      That was quick. A couple of hours ago Blair Athol and Para Hills stores had stock. Both are far away from me so I didn't bother.

      • tkboi on 05/11/2018 - 10:12

        yeah i got one from blair athol. picking it up later, probably got ozbargained when the deal came live. i was needing a charger, since my old one died, so i jumped on to it ASAP.

    • AshleyLiang on 05/11/2018 - 15:34

      Sigh, what a shame…

  • Cheap Rich Guy on 05/11/2018 - 01:45

    Recharges alkaline safely? I’ve seen a guy on YouTube do this successfully by using a charger and a timer switch set at 15 minutes on and 15 off to let the battery cool down before starting the recharge again. After 2 hours the alkaline battery was fully charged again.

    • GregMonarch on 17/11/2018 - 21:15

      Occasionally you might come across an electronic device that refused to operate correctly, or even turn on, with NiCad or NiMH cells inserted - because their terminal voltage is 1.2V, whereas single use carbon/alkaline/etc. batteries are 1.5V. (They may have used the 1.5V for a voltage reference that was now wrong due the incorrect terminal voltage, or perhaps to create a timing pulse for a processor, etc. who knows.) But without the correct voltage the device 'thought' no batteries were inserted, or the timing was out of whack, or an LCD screen barely was visible… But it's rare to find such a device. I think I owned 2 such devices in my lifetime but I can't even recall what they were.

      So why anyone without one of those rare affected devices, would bother buying expensive alkaline cells planning to recharge them is beyond me. They're not cheap, and 99% of people will never need 1.5V cells over 1.2V. People may as well buy Eneloops or the Aldi imitations (which are cheaper but self-discharge sooner - apparently).

    Thanks OP.
    With 8 batteries included, good deal, even if batteries are not the best, there is 8 of em plus charger, for $6 :)

    Just got 2 for $7 . Anyone can do same, just join supercheap membership for $5, click activation link in email, then when you go to checkout, bonus credit does not automatically apply, you have to click loyalty credit then apply and it will take $10 off for your $5 membership cost :) .

    gmx.com is great for a quick disposable type email, if you need to make new account to receive $10 bonus credit with $5 supercheap club signup. gmx do randomly lock accounts though, but only after a few months usually.

      The charger and batteries are both garbage. It's likely why they're clearing them out.
      Charger charges too fast and batteries get too hot, causing them to fail. When I noted how hot they got I used my usb slow charger on them, but batteries did not last many recharges before low capacity and annoyingly when using 4x AA together, random cells go down to 0.2v damaging them while others still have charge.

      For the price… you're still buying garbage, but at least its cheap garbage.

  • Javin on 05/11/2018 - 07:54

    I bought this for $5 + SCA credit few months back.The charging station is good but the batteries provided are crap and few were DOA.

    • tryagain on 05/11/2018 - 08:05

      Not worth a neg just because it's not available nearby to you.

      • HunterxHunter9000 on 05/11/2018 - 08:11

        That would be true if not every state has no stock, going to call SCA Menai at 8:30 when they open to check stock, if they do actually have it then I will remove the neg vote.

        • tryagain on 05/11/2018 - 08:32

          Just because you might have missed out isn't a valid reason either

      • HunterxHunter9000 on 05/11/2018 - 08:33

        Ok, 1 left At SCA Menai, how do I remove the NEG vote? Guess it is true, doesn't mean a Neg vote if the deal applies to someone that can get it.

        I did that on the weekend but sadly no luck. ah well, it's been a while since we got a no strings $5 credit, maybe they'll start doing them again, I typically spend a few $ when I get one anyway as there's always something I need from SCA!

    "Intelligent microprocessor controlled" - Why does it need a switch for the different battery types?

    I had an old "Recharger" 4 bay charger from Bunnings, (got it ~20 years ago, still working), it charged NiCad, NiMh, and Alkaline and it's not necessary to tell it what kind of battery was in which bay. Just put a battery in and it'll work out what it is and charge as appropriate, no switches on it at all.

    SCA reviewers of this product say that the batteries are very poor, heat up, and smell like burning when charging. The recharger hasn’t even worked for some. The batteries will most likely need to be replaced so don’t hope too much.
