Leaking eneloop battery

[Shinning_Wolf]

Ladda is not eneloop. There is only one nimh battery factory in japan. All nimh battery labeled made in japan are made in same factory. Difference is in the secret sauce.

The lower capacity are better for everyday use. The higher capacity has higher self discharge and lower lifespan.

Interesting.

i got my info here many YouTube videos. Particularly this video, which shows both have exactly the same performance


I also understand that while lower capacity has more charge cycles, it’s better for low drain devices as it can hold charge longer.
High capacity batteries are more suitable high drain devices and require recharges regularly and don’t care about batteries holding charge for long periods since it have to recharge on regularly anyway.
which makes both fine for everyday uses it just depends on what you are using for.

FYI, “Holding charge”, I’m referring how slowly the battery discharges while doing nothing.

I use some no-brand kind of NiMH and Li-ion AAA batts with USB-C connector in my clocks. So far so good. Been many years since I started using them - they usually last about 4 months per charge, compared to the normal alkaline AAA's 1 year.

Now I only get Ikea batteries. Eneloop is a luxury...

Just surprise it leaked..

 

[tessss]

Don't think rechargeables will leak.
Even if is fake enaloop.

Maybe your clock wet?

 

[Can Or Not]

Your battery zhup cum out liao

 

[Lss]

I have 10 year old eneloops that still work no leak

Just use those cheap alkaline batteries for clocks. Can last for years.

It is a waste to use rechargeable ones for such devices.

I got post before.. Ikea eneloop also leaked... I didn't use in low power device.

Alkaline battery very high chance will leak. Bigger waste when the cheapo alkaline battery leak corroded the device battery contact has to replace with new device.

 

[helloicanseeu]

just buy normal batteries ... LOL

 

[mocax]

NiMH rarely leak... unless it's overcharged or severely discharged (when you leave it in an appliance for too long in depleted state)

low power low voltage items like clock and remote tiagong better to use non-alkaline like carbon-zinc battery.

curious. why would non-alkaline battery be better than rechargeable?

 

[Mystyque]

curious. why would non-alkaline battery be better than rechargeable?

carbon zinc batteries low power and have low self discharge rate with a more stable/consistent voltage even as it is drawn down. They are also much much cheaper and cost effective than rechargeable for low power items like clocks and remote.

the 2450 ikea i am using for my gate lock, is great and save me alot cos the lock spoilt and is running the batteries dry like every mth. even engerizer max also very expensive.

 

[ridiculous?]

Dunch mix batterys...

I change the batteries every 2 to 3 years for similar devices. Remote control, clocks, certain types of lights etc.
So far no issues.
Can't leave it in the device for too long of course.
