    Made In Japan so very good quality.

    • +28

      Negged for pointing out a relevant fact. Pathetic behaviour.

      Yes, Panasonic has moved the production of Eneloops back to Japan within the last 3 years and yes, Japanese-manufactured Eneloops deliver the actual rated current consistently, have better capacity retention over time and longer lifecycles than Chinese-manufactured Eneloops. This has been proven multiple times.

        Bro, why so angry?

        Not everyone is an Eneloop scientist or across the Eneloop Daily News.

        • +19

          I think perhaps Amar89 worded that first sentence a bit funny and was actually pointing out that someone had negged dreamscene for pointing out that relevant fact? Or he could be a jerk, I dunno 🤷🏽‍♂️

          • +2

            @Chickenleg: Ah yes. I think you’re right. Sorry @Amar89. I misread that completely! Too early for me to be on OZB…

              @cnut: I think Amar89 was just adding value and helping us decide. Upvoted. Peace.

  • This may be a silly question, but, how do people charge these? Is there a recommended charger?

    • The bottom two links in the OP's top paragraph have chargers listed.

      I think most AA battery chargers would do the trick, but may need to qualify that in case there's different specs for eneloops.

      • +1

        nope,,they are just ni-mh batteries in regards to chargers.

    • Nitecore brand chargers are well regarded - the D2 or D4 model model depending on how many batteries you need to charge at once.

    • +1

      I have some and my Energizer charger works on them.

      This is a very nice one.Does NiMH and Li-ion batteries as well and is usb powered.I have the 2 cell version and love it.

        Difference between D4 and UM4?

        • +2

          D4 runs off mains supply, UM4 is powered via micro USB and is also a newer design.

          UM4 might be better for travel, but will likely be slower at charging a full complement of batteries (i.e. all four bays loaded) due to power limitations of USB. One thing the UM4 does that the D4 does not (as best I can tell) is rate battery health, albeit only as either "Good" or "Poor"

          I've owned a D4 charger for something like 3 years and have been very happy with it.

          Here's a handy review of the UM4.

    Eneloop deal!! Its been so long!!

  • Great deal… Thanks for posting

    Currenty Costco having a good deal 8AA and 4AAA batteries with basic charger for 50$

    https://www.costco.com.au/TVs-Electronics-Technology/Batteri…

    • Pretty sure these are $45 in store?

      • That sounds about right - the prices on the Costco site are higher than in store. I suppose that's how they offer "free" delivery.

        Edit: Costco's wording is "price includes delivery" rather than free delivery, so yeah…

      • +1

        $35 at my local Costco.

        • Hey mate, is that at Costco Bundamba?

          • @Leichhardt: Looks like sotko is from Canberra. Not sure it's same price in Costco Bundamba.
            Did you manage to get one for $35?

        • Adelaide same.

    • +1

      They are standard (non-pro)ones. Costco have them for $35 atm after a $10 instant rebate

      • Hey mate, is that at Costco Bundamba?

  • Possibly the 3M sawtooth picture hanger is back at full price

  • Which one's AA/AAA is most popular out the lot listed?

  • Good price for genuine. Paid about this back in 2016 from Dick Smith deals.

  • +2

    are pros worth the extra dosh?

    • Also keen to know.

    • Pros are good for high draw uses. Flashes, remote control cars etc.

    • Also just read that they have less charging cycles than the standards. So for high drain, slightly higher capacity, heavier usage it is suitable. Think flashes etc.

  • +8

    Thanks for the post OP. Great prices including delivery.

    Panasonic Eneloop AA 2000mAh - 4 Pack Batteries Pre-Charged(camerahouse.com.au) $16.79

    FYI, IKEA Ladda AA 2450mAh - 4 Pack (Made in Japan) available everyday for $14.99 (pickup).

    • +1

      These are made in the same factory as Eneloops but cheaper and more mah.

      • +2

        more mah

        Ha! I like this.

    • +2

      Yeah but ikea doesn't do delivery on batteries and even if so they charge a fee. Isolation means staying home is safer. The original Japanese ones from 2013 by Sanyo still better than both Ladda and Panasonic. Too bad they are gone now

      There were talks before Ladda ones are just like Eneloop pros but can't recall if there was any evidence, maybe they are just regular with higher mah

    • also i find Ikea ones aren't as good… they say ready to use, but they're always flat out of the box. They don't seem to be as LSD as i'd expect from a non-pro eneloop - if i leave them charged in the cupboard for a month or two they are fairly flat again. Dunno if it's just the pro thing, that they discharge quicker or what, but they certainly don't replace regular eneloop for me.

    • +2

      Found this in youtube which compared the Ladda and Eneloop Pro batteries https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeo_hv-8bHI

    • +2

      Also Coles 4xAA AA 2200mAh FOR $7 available pickup even cheaper.

  • I am struggling to find the right rechargable battery for remote control toys like the one on below link. Ikea Ladda ones doesnt work.
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/509265
    Can someone please help suggesting the right rechargable battery?

    • On their Toysrus website it says
      Notes & Tips:
      "Operating this vehicle requires the separate purchase of five AA batteries."

      • yes, but they dont say which ones. I tried normal 1.5v ones which works. But cant find any rechargable ones

        • Related to this comment ^ can anyone confirm voltage on Panasonic Eneloop Pro's? Ladda say 1.2v, disposable are 1.5v, and Panasonic don't state voltage anywhere. Am I correct or mistaken that lower voltage will mean lower performance (i.e. engine speed in a toy; not battery life/mAh)?

          • +2

            @TheLurker: Rechargeables are always 1.2V. It doesn't mean lower performance however some toys don't tolerate lower voltage so they can't use rechargeable batteries.

            • @tukanglistrik: Sorry, would you know if a 2550mAh eneloop pro would work where the ikea 2450mAh has failed?

              • @bestdealsonly: Unlikely, the mah number is the battery's capacity. I guess you need to use standard non-rechargeable batteries.

  • +4

    There was once a time but I've moved onto Ladda now.

    • +2

      Yep. More mah and cheaper. Made in same factory anyway. Basicly same.

    • Are you experiencing the same discharge issue mentioned in Whirlpool?

      Their comment was:

      I have only done 6 month self discharge tests on the batches, but all report around 65-70% of their capacity after 6 months. Eneloop Pros by comparison retain about 85% in 12 months.

      • +2

        I haven't done any specific tests but for the past two years I've been running Ladda in my Xbox controllers and a pair of eneloops from 5 years ago.

        Can definitely see the wear on the Eneloops, I get about 2 - 3 days on them while I can get about 5 on Ladda. However for 5 years worth of usage, they are worth the money. In comparison all the Duracell and Energizer rechargeables I've bought are all dead or on their last legs. I've put them in clock's and mouse and keyboards. I am amazed those companies sign off on such horrid quality batteries seeing as how they are solely battery companies.

        Personally I can't feel too much of a difference between when the Ladda were new to 2 years later, I'm sure there is a reduction in capacity but not too significant. At least none that I can discern.

        I'm really ocd and I've slowly starting replacing all my batteries with Ladda. The time of Eneloops has come to an end.

    thx mate, was on the lookout for a AAA sale.

    Those Tile Mates don't appear to be the replaceable battery type. Can anyone confirm?

    • I just tried calling a store to confirm but nobody picked up. Possibly closed because of virus. I want to know the same thing, the originals only last a year.

      • My originals are dead too. The part number does not appear to be the replaceable battery type.

    • +1

      Did a bit more digging by using the model number and they are not replaceable.

      • Thanks for this. I was about to order.

    Bit cheaper for the Tile Pro 2 pack on Amazon at the moment.

    • Shipped from US.

    • Nice find. The combo 4 pack pro from amazon US is just over $80. Might be a better deal with a lower per unit price.

  • Thanks op got 8 of each aa and aaa

    Thanks OP.

    Don't forget cashback from Shopback or Cashrewards- both 2.8%

  • Thanks, had been waiting for this! I have only 4 eneloops and a bunch of amazonbasics batteries, but i was missing a few extra AAAs. This is great!

  • +6

    Thanks, bought the charger with 4 eneloops. Now I feel like a proper Ozbargainer.

  • +2

    Which version Tile Mate is the 4 pack?

    • RT-05004

  • sweet. was looking to get some new batteries. thanks op

  • +1

    Thanks OP. Just bought the Pro AAA, Pro AA & Fast Charger. Cheers!

  • I have the standard fast charger. If I purchase the Pro batteries will it charge with the standard charger?

    • +1

      Yes no problem

  • +6

    After a lot of searching, the Tile 4 pack they are offering is the TI-RT-05004 model which does NOT have a replaceable battery. They last about a year. Not worth it in my opinion.

  • Best advice for anyone buying into rechargeable batteries is to buy a smart charger, for example I have the La Crosse Technology BC700-CBP and all my enloops from 2013 are still charging well.

  • +2

    Thanks OP. Struggling to find batteries for all the kids toys these days. I've bought so many of these over the years but they seem to always vanish.

    • +1

      same…. the "1500 charges" is like saying a bic pen lasts for however many pages of writing… lasts me 10 minutes

    • I've gone with Vartas for kids stuff. Eneloops are very expensive if they get used only once.

  • Bought 8x eneloop pro.
    Has anyone got experience with coles rechargeable? 2200ma @$7.00 and can be recharged 500 times

    Is it too good to be true?

    • Not too good to be true, but not as good as the eneloop pro's in power hungry toys.

      I've put coles and normal eneloops through at least 100 cycles in night lights, controls and such and haven't noticed a difference.

  • +1

    came here for some eneloop deals was not disappointed.

    • makes a change from all the wipes and disinfectant.

    • that was me 10 years ago, great to see ozb never changes :P

  • Whixh ones to get for the xbox one controller? Pro or standard

    Purchased my first ever set - Now to find an Xbox One Controller deal to go with it.

    I’ve got to ask, so are the Ikea ones of similar capabilities?
    How much are they compared to these ones?

    Looks like 3M stuff has been removed or OOS
