Searching for good deals on AAA battery for alarm clock, flashlight, alarm, etc. Some of the things are emergency items, so just tuck the battery in and will never use the devices (touch wood).
Not gonna use it for toys or motorized item as I don't have any.
Does buying the cheapest rechargeable AA/AAA for this purpose even make sense? If yes, what model (battery/cell) do you recommend?
Share your best loot.

Sample/reference:


This DoublePow rechargeable cell reliable? Lots of sale on shopee. I can put my super old GP Rapid PowerBank charger to good use.

Buy IKEA rechargable ones....buy the charger.
I stop buying batteries for more than a year now after using IKEA Laddas (brown ones will do). Initial cost 'slightly' higher, but long term I guess cheaper.

worth to buy the more expensive super heavy duty? or just marketing scam?

why? electrolyte leak easily? don't wanna damage my clock.

u use rechargeable battery for clock? just wondering how long is the retention because it will be useless for clock if it cannot retain.

You bought those cheap MrDIY batteries better check from time to time, if leak later your device cannot use anymore

so MrDIY is only good for quick drain use item like toys?
even the cheapest everyday will outlast the most expensive mrdiy?

Not sure about clocks, but I use them for my mouse (never turned off at 2000DPI mode) and I spend 12 -16 hours a day on computer. I get a couple of months (2/3 months) of usage.
The IKEA Ladda (both white and brown) are made in Japan and perform better than Energizers or even Eveready Golds IMO.

Also my shaver, but rarely use that also and it holds charge well.

Look up youtube for IKEA Ladda tests.

i usually buy from mr diy or daiso, actually for AA batteries u just get alkaline ones then ok dy, as long as its alkaline then it will last much longer than those laoya carbon zinc types, a very good example of carbon zinc is the normal Eveready batteries, those are used for remotes etc (or u see those heavy duty or super heavy duty batteries, those are also carbon zinc)

while most places like mr diy n daiso sell alkaline batteries and its cheap, usually rm1.50 for 1 battery, ikea also got good alkaline batteries, the yellow color ones and ikea even cheaper, rm9.90 for a pack of 10 alkaline batteries, but very troublesome to buy la, u need to purposely go ikea and walk 1 big round n queue at the slow counter

topkek,bateri oso wanna cheapskate
