Thread 2945191

Tell me what AA battery to buy off Amazon.

Sick and tired of the cheap ones I'm getting from the corner store.

>>2945192
Are these the USB charging ones?

>>2945193
Yes, you can use USB chargers for them.

>>2945194
Says I need a special charger. Next.

>>2945195
seriously? that's the dealbreaker for you?

Yeah.
>>2945204
Fuck you.

>>2945205

Those batteries with built-in usb ports have lower capacities and you are always better off splitting the charge capability to a second device

>>2945220
I thought that would be the case.

I just want some disposable AA batteries that are somehow better than the cheap ones at the store. They're less than 1/2 the price but they don't even last a month in my wireless mouse.

>>2945220
Eneloops are NiMH batteries that can be recharged with either a mains-powered or USB-powered NiMH/NiCad charger. They're not those shitty Li-ion AAs with built in USB port.

>>2945192
This but the pro version. They have more capacity for a tradeoff of less cycles. I've had some pros for a decade and still haven't worn them out.
If anons are looking for good C's, 5Ah, and D's, 10Ah, Tenergy makes some good cells.

>>2945191 (OP)
if u have a harbor freight near you then pic related tests better than all leading batteries and cost a fraction of the price. make sure you get the ones that say "edge" because the regular thunderbolts suck.

18 pack for $8.99

nah you just have to pay a bit more
these last just as long, just expensive per battery

>>2945221
>2025
>still using disposable batteries
Get a 4 pack of eneloops, when one pair finally goes flat you stick them in the charger and grab the other set out of the drawer, I've had two Eneloop AAA's in this keyboard for over 2 years now it's stupid how long they last.

>>2945308
Not available in Canada.

Are these worth a damn?

I've had bad luck with Amazon brand things in the past.

>>2945192
Problem with these is they're 1.2v instead of 1.5v.

>>2945205
Ok greener

>>2945191 (OP)
Why buy them? Go to any battery recycling bin and collect the rechargables. So many people use them once like alkalines

>>2945566
I don't think that's worth $20 of my time.

>>2945417
bump for these. the seem like a good deal. how could it go more wrong than the current disposables i have now?

Are these any good?

>Costco Duracell
Sorry you're gay OP.

>>2945191 (OP)
The most powerful (higher capacity), the better (price/performance), regardless of use case.
Unfortunately, they won't tell their capacity (unless they're rechargeable)

>>2945436
>1.2v instead of 1.5v.
Not always a problem. Alkalines have a sloped charge vs voltage characteristic. Many devices are designed to run down to 1.0v per cell. NiCd and NiMH have a flat curve. 1.2v out to 5% or 10% charge. Then they drop off fast.

Just make sure that you catch multi cell devices before the weakest one gets pushed reversed by the others. Or else that cell is T.U.

>>2945624
>Duracell seem to go from dead to leaking electrolyte pretty fast. I don't want to corrode the innards of my vibr... tools.

>>2945662
Tell that to my mom's blood pressure cuffs.

Also, OP, if you're near an IKEA, they carry some good performance to value NiMH. They probably sell chargers for them too, but I use one I bought from Aliexpress that has single channel charging and can charge lithiums too. It even has a battery tester mode that I've never tried.

>>2945191 (OP)
I always get energized max. There are afew lithium batteries that are supposed to be good. The project farm guy reviewed a bunch of those. He's always yelling though.

Energizer ultimate lithium is gonna one of the best AA batteries you can get. Its handy for high performance say flashlights left in cars at freezing temperatures. Its high dollar fancy stuff though. Most of the time i don't use that.

>>2945675
If you have a device that won't tolerate 1.2v, that means you are throwing out alkalines when they have 40% to 50% charge remaining.

Save some money by swapping the used ones into other devices when the fussy one declares them to be end of life.

>>2945601
IDK

>>2945601
Should I buy these or not? I'm sure they aren't as good as the eneloop ones, but they're exactly 1/2 the price if you include the charger.

I guess I could get the amazon ones and if they suck I can get the eneloop ones and just use the amazon charger and it would work out to be the same price.

>>2945737
ANSWER MEEEE
REEEEEEEEEEE

>>2945737
Why is this such a dilemma for you? Stop being a faggot.
>>2945744
You are gay.

>>2945745
Because I want to know what kind of batteries to buy, retard.

>>2945748
You were told several times, retard. Maybe sell some of your star wars lego dildos so you can afford AA batteries. lmao

>>2945750
NiMH batteries were suggested to me, so I want to know if the Amazon brand NiMH are worth it. Retard.

>>2945752
I think you should continue to buy the cheapest shit you can find. lol

>>2945753
Are they "cheap shit" tho? This is the question.

>>2945754
>Amazon branding
What do you think? Retard. lmao

>>2945755
I'm thinking it's worth asking. Dipshit.

>>2945765
I'll empty myself in your mom.

>>2945675
>>2945723
>random thread suddenly explains why my blood pressure cuff is weird with batteries

The batteries all come out of the same factory, the only difference is quality control, so the best ones become duracell and the shit ones are white labeled to the dollar store

>>2945191 (OP)
I like EBL but they got a weird fox mascott now.
https://www.amazon.com/stores/EBL/page/A748F468-BB41-4C67-A1E7-18FA3890EAE2

>>2945191 (OP)
>2/3 AAA
That size always makes me chuckle

These green duracell rechargeables are the absolute best. They have a higher capacity than most other rechargable nimh batteries. Only issue is that they are very slightly larger than a standard AA battery (probably has something to do with the higher capacity) so they're a tight fit in some devices. Like in my mouse I have to pry them out with a pen because it's too tight to do it with my fingernail.

2nd choice would be the black eneloop pro batteries.

>>2945191 (OP)
Energizer ultimate lithium. Twice the capacity of typical alkaline batteries of the same size, and will hold a charge for decades in storage.

>>2945723
>Save some money by swapping the used ones into other devices when the fussy one declares them to be end of life.
Got linked here from /g/, casually.
I do this, use them in thermometers, hygrometers and low current LCD, basic clocks around the home. I've even left a cheap ikea clock permanently outside so I know what temp it is on my landing.

15-20 year old cells that are worthless in anything else can still deliver months on end of charge in those types of devices or even analogue clocks. Once they get to the point they last <1 month in an analogue clock, they're done.

by the time you buy a set of rechargeable batteries a powerful charger to charge them all quickly the costs add up and you may as well just buy the version of the thing with it's own battery that's how everything comes these days anyways

>>2946461
This mindset is why we can't have anything nice anymore.

fuck amazon. buy the lada batteries from ikea that are made in japan.

>>2945191 (OP)
check projectfarm on yt

>>2946467
clearly we can because the version with it's own battery is also better in other ways

can you turn old aa batteries into bullets for your self made air gun

>>2947745
Nope, it's part of the enshitification of devices.

>>2947746
>can you turn old aa batteries into bullets for your self made air gun

Some have tried.
Can't be done.

Costco's Kirkland AA+ batteries. Good old fashioned alkalines with 12 year shelf life. Costs $15.99 CAD. Shit doesn't leak like Duracells. Have never in my entire existence had a Kirkland battery leak in anything, but sure as shit Duracell will eventually leak and fuck up your stuff.

>>2945436
I have had issues with my Logitech mice, they're really particular in their design to use the full 1.5v batteries and 1.2v of typical rechargeables makes my battery indicator START at half full. They just die much quicker than alkaline batteries which give the full 1.5v. You can get 1.5v rechargeables but they're very pricey. Same with high draw items like headlamps. They will work fine in headlamps but they die out much faster. Being rechargeable helps but I wish 1.5v rechargeable batteries were more prevalent and cheaper. I'd replace all mine if they were.

>>2947851
forgot the pic. 48 packs.

>>2945192
This except get the ikea batteries and charger.

>>2945191 (OP)
Sorry everyone ITT is gay OP. I use EBL batteries. They're cheap and good for the price. You could look into that and get the charger + batteries for pretty cheap. I like the one with the cover so that I don't have to worry about dust collecting in the bottom of it.

>>2947853
There has been cheap 1.5 AA lithium ion batteries on Aliexpress lately I bought some with USB C built in because I wasn't sure if my charger would support them. They're supposedly 12800 mAh. Less than $2 each.

>>2947937
>They're supposedly 12800 mAh
I'd be surprised if they were even 300 mAh.

>>2947937
>Less than $2 each.
>12.64 / 4 = < 2
more than 3 is not the same as less than 2

>>2947947
>he thinks anyone pays listed price on Aliexpress.
Look at the discounted price.

>>2947843
he's pushing them out with a bold mechanism? is that how air guns work i thought the air just pushed it out

>>2947956
bolt*

>>2947956
>>2947976
A pneumatic bolt.

>>2945676
Ikea's rechargeables are good quality and they last a long time. My only complaint with them is that they only have 750 mAh AAA's now as they used to have 800's. I have a set of the older 800's so I didn't make this up. Their AA's have two kinds 2450's and 1900's. For the price they are all excellent buys.

>>2947950
>Look at the discounted price.
$18.34 discouted by $5.67 = $12.64
Yesterday they were $17.56
Today they are $11.34 with $3.07 shipping ($14.41)
Put them in your cart to see the actual price.

>>2945191 (OP)
i got ebl lithium with a charger for my mouses and stuff. havnt tested them on heavy use items but they seem to work well.

>>2947989
Go ask /csg/ on /g/ how to buy from Aliexpress properly.

>>2948035
I actually have a $1 off $1.01 coupon applied so the real cost is $6.67 for 4. There are better coupons during sales though.

>>2947937
>12800 mAh
Guessing the marketing guys added a couple zeros to the end.

>>2945191 (OP)
Get eneloop

>>2945192
These are good. I've got a couple dozen of them and none have worn out in over a decade of use.

>>2945332
