½ Price Energizer Lithium Ultimate AAA Batteries 4 Pack $9.50 (Was $19) @ Woolworths

130

Sorry first post, don't really know what to say here.
Was looking for light batteries to put into my g603 mouse, came across these.

Bunnings seems to also have a similar sale on the same product if that is easier to get to than Woolworths.

  • Could these be recharged?

      Nope, disposable lithium batteries.

      • I assume they have circuits that don't allow charge back to the battery if you stuck it into a charger?

        • +2

          Lithium ion are the usual rechargeable ones you find in laptops, these are lithium. Please don't put them into a charger :)

        • Why in the world would anyone waste money and capacity to put in something like that?!

          These are Lithium Iron Disulfide (Li-FeS2) batteries (one of many non rechargeable Lithium battery chemistries), nowhere are they called Lithium Ion and they have warnings against recharging on the packet and the battery itself!

            @Namesareapain: Thanks for your strident explanation that not all Li based battery chemestries are rechargeable.

          I would worry they might start a fire/explode. Other than that, always have a go.

          Lousy value, as Ikea/enelope rechargables are cheaper than these.

            @[Deactivated]: Thanks for your input but these are useful for many applications that require long battery life and/or are difficult to change. And that's just naming a few possible uses that are suitable for these.

            But clearly you can't think outside your own usage.

              @Maverick-au: My weird niche application for these is my computer mouse. A lithium AA is about 7g lighter than an alkaline and 10g lighter than an eneloop, which sounds small but is enough to make a noticable difference to how easily the mouse glides.

              • @Jabba the Hutt: Mine is my RC transmitter, where they expect lithium voltages in the firmware, but use AA's for the power source.

                Has it saying low battery far too soon.

                Lithiums are a a higher voltage than normal aa's slightly, and hold voltage longer in the discharge cycles.

  • do they have stock?

    • had stock in a nearby store Mill Park 3082, Bunnings seems to have abundant stock as well

  • Any AA size?

    • Just add water and they'll expand to AA size.
