[Closed] Rechargeable batteries?

7 Day Shop

Look at Ansmann chargers - they take all the sizes and 'condition' the batteries each time they charge.

Ikea RBs are supposed to be rebranded samsungs, pretty cheap as well.

An

+1 7dayshop. Their own brand stuff is great.

Eneloops are the best rechargeable that I've used. Amazon.de

What he said ....eneloops

.. and - a charger that tells you when the battery is full, as opposed to the one I have which makes you guess?

I've had mixed results with the 7dayshop NIMH. Some seem to deteriorate rather rapidly, not getting near their stated capacity (I use a good charger).

I'm going back to Ansmann.

Eneloops, ideally with an intelligent charger.

As I said just yesterday,

Eneloops and a Techline BL700 intelligent charger (looks to be very similar to the one Cougar recommended in the other thread.

Technoline bl700 here as well, loads of features, I find the best bang for buck LSD batteries are GP Rycyko

I agree, GP Recyko are as good if not better than Eneloops and are usually cheaper.

Amazons Own batteries were supposed to be older generation Eneloops and are/were quite highly rated, that said the newer ones are supposedly made in China(originals were Japanese) and arent as good according to some reviews.

I have Eneloops and really rate them , hold there charge much longer even when in use

Ever Ready or Duracell, available just about anywhere. My 3 sets of 6 year old batteries are still going strong, having been used constantly, in rotation, in radios, torches, milf frothers, etc.

I have the BL700, the one I linked to is apparently the newer version of the same thing.

Annsman charger here - works well, apparently is 'good' for batteries.

7day shop batteries are OK, but a few years in our lot have started refusing to take a charge and the refresh on the charger won't work.
I use Sanyo Eneloops for my camera and now for my son's drone. They are lastimg longer, despite more discharge/charge cycles.

You want the ones with low self discharge. I've got Duracell ones, they are green.. called 'stay charge' or something with things like '3 years' plastered on the packaging.

Same thing. The Eneloops started that, the ones you've got borrowed the tech.

TBH Eneloops are great but do you need great? Most of my rechargable stuff is on cheapies, they do a perfectly good job for much less money.

Also, some toys are really picky about batteries, especially with motors- you may notice a performance difference with the voltage drop. Or you may not (and alkalis usually droop pretty fast anyway). But maybe something to consider.

[quote=molgrips ]You want the ones with low self discharge.

Depends how much power your devices use and so how quickly they run down the batteries. For things where you use up the batteries in a single day's use there's no real advantage and you get higher capacity from normal ones.

I use eneloops in camera flashes and they are about the only rechargeable batteries that come close to providing acceptable performance.

They last an age and most importantly lose very little charge when stored.

Well worth the pennies IMO

Funnily enough I bought some of those Duracell ones yesterday as the rechargables I have at the moment aren't lasting as well as they used to. To be fair I've been using the same ones since 2007 so they've lasted well.

I also use the Techline BL700 charger, again been using since 2007. Had an issue with the first one after 8 months use as it wouldn't charge, replacement has been faultless.
