Sony Cycle Energy uses similar tech as Eneloop. I don't know any difference between Sanyo Eneloop & Panasonic Eneloop other than got Lite version.

Local Eneloop are super expensive in Malaysia. Buy from Singapore can save alot.

For the Charger go for branded ones that has quick charge + normal Charge + auto cut.

Conventional Rechargeable not worth getting even cheaper because they are inefficient.

Not Sony, its Sanyo, panasonic bought sanyo eneloop division and technology and rebrand it as panasonic eneloop on their 4th generation eneloop, other than branding, the main difference is on the increased charge cycle on the latest generation.


Yes, local one expensive about 40% and made in china


Charger, get smart charger with individual charging bay, 1 LED per cell instead of 2 cells per 1 LED
if possible avoid quick-charge charger to preserve your battery lifespan.


not only inefficient, they will damage and shorten your battery lifespan

No, Sony also has their own recyclable rechargeable batteries like Sanyo, GP also have, Cycle Energy they call it, all use NiMH (same as laptop batteries) instead of Lithium ion.

I use Sanyo Charger but not the one from Eneloop pack, i had to buy the Lithium Ion + Charger pack to get that charger it has:
4 slot (2 AAA/AA, 2 AA Quick Charge)
individual lights
refresh button + light

Quick Charge only activates when you put the batteries on the quick charge AA slots, it will be disabled when you put more than 2 batteries on the charger.

downside is can only charge 2 AAA 1 time.

does DIY has travel adapter?

yes, but maybe not all branches. usually near counter.

Mahal sikit?? Once wanted to buy Bosch Drill set there when I saw the pricing aku lari lintang pukang. Same model, same packaging, but price expensive more than RM100.00 compare to hardware shop outside.

LED T8 tube light

I want to replace my standard (conventional non LED) T8 tube light with a new Mr DIY LED T8 tube light.

If not mistaken, I need to remove the components inside (i.e. Starter , choke , etc) and rewire to directly connect to the LED tube.

Anyone with experience can confirm ?

very smartfella

So far, the goods are definitely well worth the money.

Hand phone stand
Hand phone holder in car (stick to dashboard)
Ninja Wallet
Rear view mirror for car

All still working in good condition since the day I bought it and the prices are crazy cheap for that kind of quality.

I wish DIY go more shops cause their product much cheaper then other shops like hardware and electrical .

wot tok u? DIY is everywhere now. not as common as Daiso but they are newer than Daiso. now many new place Daiso got DIY will have. Subang area got 2 DIY side by side Subang Parade & AEON BIG. Daiso only Empire got. Actually inside AEON BIG got 2 i think.

u wont go wrong with DIY array of handyman tools

if you are using normal long 40w/20w fluorescent light, then just remove the whole set and hook up wire from home to T8 LED using connector
but T8 LED the wiring come out from side of lamp. unless u want to hack it and drill a hole in the middle and modified the wiring.

Ok

Hi all

Any suggestions for mr diy biggest outlet in klang valley? I'm looking for shower curtain and wall plug and toilet accessories.

Endah Parade biggest so far.

cheapest led bulbs.
but it's a little blue than the rated 6500k.

Do they offer franchise to their brand?

looking at how fast they expand i think they follow Daiso business method, some self operate some franchise out. don't think they have the financial capability to open 1 outlet in every 3 new malls up.

might be wrong though.

right now there is nobody to match Mr.DIY, but who knows, it only takes 1 big China company to enter to crush DIY.
