So they still have lots of room for more superlatives.
Ultra Ultimate
Looks like a woollies stuff up… Nowhere on the packaging does it say advanced…
Go Rechargable….
How long do they last you these days? Before they start discharging too quickly?
Usual story of you get what you pay for.
I found a couple of Sony branded AA rechargeables the other day that wouldn't have seen the light of day for 10 years. Still had a charge, tested and found they were still near their rated capacity.
Their original capacity was only 700mAh so nothing to get too excited about, but good enough for something.
Post the rechargeable deal, otherwise this is a good price for quality batteries.
I've found alkalines are pretty much the same these days capacity-wise. Guaranteed leak-proof would be nice though.
Is that actually possible (guaranteed leak proof). My understanding is that leak proof implies guaranteed explosion as the alternative.
@jason andrade: I suppose there's only two ways a battery can leak, corrosion or venting. I've had batteries leak in the pack so that'd be corrosion. In use if they expand from outgassing or whatever then they could rupture.
I guess given enough money and work you could make a battery leak proof. I don't think with all the different secret sauces in use and time frames involved it's easy to find such a thing, I did see a video on YouTube (EEVBlog) where he's set up a test, personally I think he's doing it wrong, as do many of the commentators for various other reasons.
These one claim to be leak proof, maybe that's only while they're in the pack for a decade though.
I already went rechargeable. Except lots of stuff doesn't work properly with rechargeables (lower voltage).
Really? like what?
Most consumer electronics are good, but I've had a bunch of issues with torches and baby toys. It's not an uncommon thing to read in instructions not to use rechargeables.
but I've had a bunch of issues
I haven't seen a device that's complained about rechargeables for yonks.
Alkaline are recommended because obviously they last longer, but the lower voltage problem isn't really a problem; pretty much everything will work down to each cell being a volt.
Rechargables will make the battery level indicator useless though.
@D C: These are all recent experiences with multiple recently purchased devices, I assure you. We're all going to have different devices and so different experiences.
Many devices will run directly on the voltage, for example in some baby toys which make sound or light, you can actually hear them slowing down or see them getting dim as the voltage drops. So with rechargeables it's like they're a bit flat before they even start.
A well designed device will regulate the voltage until it just can't keep up anymore and it dies suddenly, but not everything is well-designed. Even some expensive things seem to have poorly designed stuff in them sometimes.
These are all recent experiences with multiple recently purchased devices,
That's not helpful.
@D C: You were saying that recent devices don't do this. I said I have multiple recent experiences contrary to what you said. How is that not relevant or "helpful"?
Where are the Eneloop deals?
Stupid battery doing the flossing
Love it or hate it, you remembered that these batteries are linked to that ad so their marketing team have done their job.
The team have done their job when you actually BUY the product. I remember it but I don't buy it, and I'd like to see who buy these batteries because of the floss :-)
Of course eneloops are the best but if you want alkaline isnt it better to get 30 Made in Germany batteries for $10 in Bunnings?

That’s what I’m thinking. I’ll do some testing on my cat flap.
These are rechargable?
A few minutes in the oven should charge them right up.
Needs "/s" (hopefully?)
@Pratty: Just look at the reactions to COVID-19 to realise "it goes without saying" sadly cannot be relied on…..:(
No.
The super cheap auto ones are the cheapest when they go on discount.
Yeah varta are good and always cheap
You'll find batts on sale at either coles or woollies almost every other week.
hahaha, I think they're missing some more words there
