What about the ones on special at Aldi this weekend?
Usually JV will highlight the made in Germany Varta alkaline batteries available at Bunnings.
I've had bad experience with Varta batteries bought from Bunnings.
Batteries work fine but when left in the device they seem to frequently leak.
So unfortunately have damaged a number of my remote controllers etc.Not had as much leakage issues with Energizers, so this is a good deal for me.
I don't have good experience with Varta rechargeable batteries. I bought some 4 or 5 years ago. They're now dying. However, the cheap Dicksmith branded rechargeable batteries I bought a lot earlier are still going strong.
A true ozbargainer has enough eneloops not to need alkaline batteries for a thousand lifetimes.
Na dude Better to buy rechargeable ones, good for environment and cheap on long run too
Any recommendations on rechargeables?
I actually imported mine from usa the EBL ones they are pretty good but you'd hardly find any in Australia.
Otherwise i reckon the VARTA ones are good enough too from Bunnings comes with charger too
Been using Eneloops since they came on the market years ago, never had one fail and don't expect to buy any more of any sort of domestic batteries foreseeably. Don't understand why people buy single use non-rechargeable batteries now, from both the environmental and economic standpoints.
Came here to ask precisely that question: why do people still buy these? Why do they even still exist? Sounds like a case of unpriced externality to me. Who pays for their disposal? Us all??
@wisdomtooth: I still like non-rechargeable batteries for low consumption, long duration needs - notably remote controls
@wisdomtooth: Well, as an Ozbargainer I have lots of old devices, used very occasionally.
I am supposed to take the batteries out when not in use but never remember to.Seems logical to use non rechargeable batteries in this case as I presume they would last longer, plus the unit cost of the battery is lower.
Correct me if I am wrong, but for me rechargeable batteries are not the best for low drain, long life usage scenarios like remotes or doorbells.
@pencilman: Never heard about that, that's why I was asking. Take batteries out of remotes every evening?? How painful! Are you sure?
@wisdomtooth: Take batteries out when not used for long period - eg. several months.
Or on the DVD player that one might still have hooked up but gets rare use.
Not every night.
@wisdomtooth: Are you kidding most people buy disposables because they are convenient and aren't concerned about saving a buck or the environment .
Don't believe look up some stats ?@popsiee: I fail to see how your reply relates to mine. Perhaps you misread me. What I meant is that disposable batteries may be underpriced bc their users are not paying for their disposal cost; we are (through taxes).
$7.99 for 12 AA or 10AAA Energizer at Aldi next week.
Strange that the AAA are more expensive than AAEnergizer max plus was 50% at coles yesterday around $8.
Any recommendation to buy high quality CR2032 batteries?
These hardly goes not sale and buying from Ebay Aliexpress seems to be unreliable
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32814264762.html?Just get a local one from bunnings etc. The Ali express ones don't last as long any way.
For remotes like car keys, house garage door, computer bios etc, its just not worth it to get a cheap one and be stuck with it.
Just check production date isn't something like 2000
