      Currently around $44.22 AUD shipped. You can get cheaper non-smart chargers, but this one will look after the batteries, they'll last a lot longer.

    • Mumbles on 09/10/2012 - 15:57

      Last month I was ultra lucky and spotted a pack of 2x AAA Enloops for $5 (RRP $9.95) at the Queanbeyan Dick Smith. The reason they were so cheap is because they were the previous generation Enloops which can be recharged only 1000x (instead of current generation of 1500x). I asked them to check if there were anymore in Canberra area but they said all cleared out. :(

      Grrrrr. So many remote controls and so few AAA Enloop deals.

      Depends what your needs are, if you want or need spacers, AAA's and a charger, then probably yes but if you have a charger and only want some flashy looking AA's then possibly not.

    • janeymac on 09/10/2012 - 09:17

      Does anyone know if this is a smart charger? I can't find any info on it.

      Hey thanks Matt the handyman. Wasn't aware of this. Will use the $20 gift card I got for the recent woolies simcard and recharge deal. Woohoo

      • kabigon on 08/10/2012 - 20:48

        The Handyman is referring to deals where you buy Woolies gift cards for 5% off, not a discount at the register per se.

    Hope I can get my Everyday Orange card in time.

    GODAMNIT! Bought some last week from the Shopping Square deal, decided to take the punt even after reading people's complaints about how long it takes for them to receive their batteries…this deal is much better, especially since we can pick them up ourselves…if only I waited for a week face palm

    • hoxygt on 08/10/2012 - 19:02

      I know - I'm in the same wait a month or two boat - dammit!!!

      I did get AAA's too so I guess all wasn't wasted…

      No stock no worries… just ask for a raincheck

      http://dicksmith.com.au/help/RainchecksContent

      If your local Dick Smith store has sold out of a currently advertised line, we will happily issue you a raincheck. This assures you of being able to buy the original item (or a comparable product) at the advertised price – even if the original promotion has ended. Naturally, rainchecks do not apply to items that have been advertised as ‘limited’, ‘discounted’ or ‘clearance’ lines, or where the terms and conditions explicitly exclude rainchecks.
      Dick Smith does not offer rainchecks for products sold online.

  • sash213 on 08/10/2012 - 20:31

  • wog_ta on 08/10/2012 - 21:23

    Im trying to justify buying them because I know they are good quality batteries but I can't think of anything I own that still uses replaceable batteries. My tv remote control use AAA and last like 2-3 years on elcheapos, xbox controller and camera all have battery packs. I guess good for people with kids that have a lot of toys or hipsters rocking an old school gameboy.

      Only one remote control?

      How about cordless phones, torches and the like? There are some really nice AA-battery torches out there, I have this one attached to my key ring. It's a little heavy because it's stainless steel, but it's a really nice torch:

    Why can't I click & collect.

    Not buying if thats not an option. Delivery is $4.95

    • wonga on 09/10/2012 - 09:53

      You have to go to your shopping cart. From there, you will see two tabs near the top of the page - "Home delivery" and "Click and collect".

      The design is a bit flawed..

      • m2000 on 09/10/2012 - 10:16

        The system does not always work… The dse staff admitted himself he never get those online collection.
        Just make sure get a copy of the confirmation.(At lest you can ask for rain-check or something) or just call them and ask them to hold the item for you.

      This question get asked every time Eneloops go on sale.

      • pull the lever on 09/10/2012 - 11:35

        As long as they will charge NiMH 1.2V then you'll be fine.

    • Russ on 09/10/2012 - 13:44

      You'll get more recharges out of them if you buy a more expensive charger. Cheap chargers tend to overcharge the batteries, reducing the capacity of the battery and reducing the battery's life.

      If you have more than a few rechargeable batteries, or if you need maximum performance out of your batteries, a quality charger is a good investment. Maha and LaCrosse are good brands, prices start around $50 (from Amazon).

        • matt_will_fix_it on 09/10/2012 - 13:18

          Their catalogue doesn't say this is limited or subject to "no rainchecks".

          Discounted is usually when its end of line or clearance, where its marked down in a store locally just to clear it.

  • tsunamisurfer on 09/10/2012 - 12:48

    I asked for a raincheck and the girl said they won't be getting more in so its not possible.

    I had no comeback.

    • matt_will_fix_it on 09/10/2012 - 13:17

      I would ask for a raincheck anyway in the event they do get more stock, which they probably will.

  • Daz4 on 09/10/2012 - 13:04
