Dec 28 edit 2: "low stock" message went away.

Dec 28 edit: site claims "low stock" (for delivery purposes), stores themselves appear to be very well stocked from a quick check of some capital cities.

Dec 27 edit: click and collect available again.

Boxing day edit: still valid as at 745pm aedt, have set to expire NYE 2099AD.

Xmas day edit: Still valid as at 1130am aedt, I've set this page to expire at end of day but it may expire earlier.

Edit: Added link.

Edit 2: Some comments suggest free postage is being applied for orders less than $100 despite what the site says.

I'm sure you all know what Eneloops are by now so I'll spare you the blurb..

Catalogue states "Limited stock. Stock may vary by store." so make sure the store you're ordering from has stock (click + collect or call) before you visit to save any hassles.

          read the urban dictionary
          The art of deliberately, cleverly, and secretly pissing people off, usually via the internet, using dialogue. Trolling does not mean just making rude remarks: Shouting swear words at someone doesn't count as trolling; it's just flaming, and isn't funny.

          if that's still not clear

          Signs that your trolling is succesful:
          *Your victim screaming in all-caps at you.
          *Personal attacks (Calling you a retard, idiot, etc).
          *Being an Internet Tough Guy.
          *Making a crude remark, before quickly logging off before you can retort.

      Eneloops are something that will keep your battery-operated devices in endless ENEergy LOOPS by recharging.

      While Eneloops come in a variety of colours, they are quite different from the colourful cereal that kids eat for breakfast - Fruitloops. Despite the similarity in names and colour varieties.

  • ryudo222 on 17/12/2012 - 10:19

    I just bought 80 AA batteries in the previous dick smith sale…i used google and found out these are low discharged batteries….but how many alkaline AA batteries equal 1 eneloop one?

    • SBOB on 17/12/2012 - 10:38
      +1

      current generations are rated at 1500 or 1800 cycles I believe.

      but as a rechargeable doesnt store the same voltage as an alkaline (80% of the voltage),
      lets do some crappy maths and say about 1200 AA alkalines..

      (Any chemical engineers can come along and correct this based on the rate of voltage decay difference between the different chemical compositions in the batteries ;) )

      • ryudo222 on 17/12/2012 - 10:44

        1200 Alkaline AA battery = 1 eneloop battery!? Is this on a single charge for eneloop? So say i dont own the recharging dock for the eneloop batteries, would 1 eneloop battery outlast the AA battery 1200 times!.

        • zealmax on 17/12/2012 - 11:00

          If you can leave it charging 1500 times longer, maybe.

        • FloatingPoint on 17/12/2012 - 11:04

          and they will sell that for $1999 not $19.99

        • Click_It on 17/12/2012 - 11:09
          +4

          ryudo222:
          SBOB partly answered your question, just not in the way you were expecting. He was stating 1 Eneloop can be recharged about 1200 times (or more) before it's ready to bin. So on that theory you could have gone through 1200 AA alkalines in the same duration.

          I think you were actually seeking life of a single cell comparison, yes?

          On the shelf doing nothing Eneloops should retain about 75% of their life after 3 years. This is probably comparable with a decent Akaline and superior to a poor branded one.

          Lifespan in use? - In an average application how do the 2 batteries compare in lifespan. Lets say in a low drain remote control or wall clock? I can't speak first hand on this as I've only owned Eneloops for a few months but have done a lot of research on this prior to taking the plunge myself and there are a lot of people saying Eneloops have caught up with and in some cases surpassed Alkaline in this area now. So the old rule of thumb to use rechargeables on higher drain and Alkaline in lower drain devices is now somewhat null and void depending on how many Eneloops you have at your disposal I guess. You wouldn't waste them in a wall clock if you only have 4 but if you have 40 then why not.

          I hope you found your answer somewhere in the above. As always I stand to be corrected but I think I've summed it up for you in simple terms.

          EDIT: A decent Alkaline should still win when it comes to high drain applications due to this higher voltage (1.5V vs 1.25V) such as torches etc, although Eneloop also have their premium XX range which attempts to bridge that gap.

          EDIT: Seriously, post up a good recharger deal if you have one

          EDIT2: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000RSOV50

        • Click_It on 17/12/2012 - 11:24

          ryudo222: Glad I could help. Also something I didn't mention, to get the true worth out of these Eneloop's one should also have a smart charger for them which is going to set you back $40-50 such as a La Crosse BC-700. A regular (dumb) charger will work fine but will shave years off their lifespan by overcharging them (the achilles heel of a rechargeable battery)

          beatlock: I think my sarcasm detector just went off but FWIW this is about the cheapest price you'll ever find Eneloops for, locally or otherwise. Amazon generally comes in a few bucks more but is the cheapest when DSE aren't running their 50% off sale. I've never seen an 8 pack for less, except last time they included free shipping without a min spend.

        • Shitforbrains on 18/12/2012 - 17:05

          Actually rechargeable NiMH batteries are superior in high-drain applications. Alkaline batteries quickly drop their voltage when under load. NiMH batteries have low internal resistance and can maintain voltage under load. On the candlepower forums if you look at the lumens vs time graphs for various batteries used in high power torches you will see that alkaline batteries perform very poorly.

    These are very good batteries….I use them with 'C' Spacers and I am surprised how well they last even with continued use.

    And because these are so cheap, I have another set charged and awaiting use to swap over when the other ones are flat.

    I would normally stock up but these 1/2 priced deals are become so common now that I don't think I need multiple packs waiting.

    A friend has warned me with Kids toys these come in real handy.

    The only thing I am wondering about these days if whether to invest in a charger like Baha or La Crosse, or stick with the standard 'dumb' one which is doing a sterling job right now as it is.

    I have already a few eneloops for my Canon Speedlights and they perform very well. I am just thinking about using them in my remote controls and kids toys too. But that raises the questions how long they last?

    I know that they are rated to around 1000 to 1500 recharge cycles … which is fantastic. But is there a time limit on it. Would they still perform well after 5 or 10 years.
    My old rechargeable batteries didn't last longer than 3-4 years. Is this different with the envelops?
