DAILYSTEAL

Interesting rechargeable batteries. AAA are 1.5v which is good compared to others (like eneloop) having 1.2v, which can be useful in some devices.

Usb C or micro-usb recharging is great for traveling.

Pale Blue USB-C Rechargeable AAA Batteries 4 Pack - $32.99

Pale Blue USB Rechargeable C Batteries 2 Pack - 2x Lithium Ion C battery - $32.99

Pale Blue USB Rechargeable D Batteries 2 Pack - 2x Lithium Ion D battery - $32.99

Pale Blue USB Rechargeable 9V Batteries 2 Pack - 2x Lithium Ion 9V battery - $32.99

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals.

  • What on earth is that thumbnail?

    • Lol.

      That's what happens when you eat the battery.

      That is Mr PB's late grandfather, Sir PB.

    • Probably they wanted a stereotypical robber to fit the daily steal theme but decide better to ensure they didn't look like a human to avoid any possible controversy

    • Pricing at Bunnings using the Assetlab Powerpass discount:
      AA 4-pack = $43.40 ($34.99 at PB)
      AAA 4-pack = $38.92 ($32.99 at PB)

    • Would Bunnings price-beat this deal since you have to use a code?

      • +1

        They’ll most likely pricebeat the normal price (just a guess though).

        • Ah well, I don't have time to check anyway.

    Watch what you guys say he might hear it

  • Previous cheapest prices were $39 so looks like a good deal. I see a lot of complaints online from people saying one battery stopped charging within the first few cycles though, so could be a problem with consistency of the product.

    To be honest 1.5V/600mAh is really nothing compared to normal Eneloop Pro which can provide 1.2V/2600mAh. Totally not worth of the price - Most of the cost are on Type-C.

    • Enenloop Pro AAAs aren't rated that high, they're 900-950mAh, so if you consider that these are higher nominal voltage, they suddenly start looking much more favourable. But I won't be buying any, I've got a ton of Eneloops from the last deal, some of which i haven't even opened yet 😅

      • oh sorry I overlook AAA as AA. Well, that's…fine. but same, I won't buy it…

  • Suitable for quest 2 controllers.

    What is the actual benefit to these over eneloop?
    Never used them and would like to know if they have a tangible difference.

      Well other than the advantages and disadvantages of USB-C charging vs have a dedicated charger which I guess are obvious, main thing is probably the higher nominal voltage. I don't know what the disharge curve of these are like but I assume it isn't that bad, in theory since they have internal voltage regulation anyway they could actually keep 1.5V until they self shutdown to prevent over discharge.

      The higher voltage means voltage sensitive devices may work with the batteries for a longer part of the discharge cycle, and may work better too. E.g. a torch with limited voltage regulation may be brighter for longer. And they may work in devices which just don't work with LSD NiMH

      Of course they are lithium polymer batteries with all the safety implications thereof.

      • Yep, exactly this. NiMH batteries will fade to about 1-1.1V at which point most devices will just not work as well and you'll know you need to recharge. These will most likely work at the full 1.5V until the underlying lithium battery voltage gets too low, at which point they'll simply cut out completely.

    • The current generation of Eneloops only has AAA and AA, some previous generations had C and D though they were not as readily available. You can get C and D battery size adapters for AA batteries, however that does not increase the battery capacity or discharge current which is often the reason for C or D batteries.

  • Are there any free shipping codes?

    • No Free Shipping codes recently as the costs have been getting very high.
      Free C&C or try matching price with Bunnings

  • I was hoping to get more feedback on Type C, D & 9v batteries as there are not many rechargeable ones in the market. For AA/AAA I still feel eneloops are great if you are fine with 1.2v.

    Guess, due to thumbnail being AAA rest of the batteries got sidelined.
