you missed the ymmv?

i was going to give a lengthy, detailed, and elaborate reply. but, quite sure you'd skip over the details anyway. and yes, i'm sure. as sure as i am that you'd just replace the batts without checking the failure voltage, the initial voltage, and the duration it took for the voltage drop...also never compared the result to the conventional batts. so, let's just settle it simply at ymmv.

nothing wrong with changing rechargeable at 6months vs >1year for the conventional. i'm not saying the clock doesn't work with it. jeez... i'd prefer changing more frequently rather than finding it dead, leaking, and spoiling the device...

i'm not against rechargeables. just stating my observation to add into the discussion.

demmit, this long already, might as well add... conventional batts start at 1.5V, rechargeables at 1.2V (1.3V at best)... with the same load/drain... it doesn't take rocket science to figure out which one will reach 0.9V (failure) first.
if you are going to argue that your ladda lasts longer in that situation, i'd love to be educated on it, as long as it's not based on "feelings".

yes, i'm fun at parties...

You do take batteries seriously man....hahahahhahahaha

I mean, is there any significant difference between the 1900 and 2450 mah, for light usage?

price wise rm24.90 vs rm39.90

mainly use for remote, clock, etc.

We are having energy crisis.

dont get the cheapest, senang bocor, fakap and corrode your whole electronic

topup 1or 2 ringgit can get some realiable brand already

Ikea alkaline battery quality bad

Topup RM2 for a single AA/AAA cell? That's premium category already.

per pack la boss

Those few bucks zinc carbon battery is perfect for long interval low drain stuff like wall clocks or remote
because from experience alkaline always leaks n corrode the terminals
whereas GP green zincs less reactive and/or shorter change duration so nothing happens
and its just S$1.30 - 50c pee pee voucher only 80c for a pack

this charger OK ah. I used to charge 2500 envelops last time; no probs

Been using rechargeable battery for few yrs now.

All this juice leaking corroded nightmare is gone. No more. And didn't buy a single battery since.

What's the age of your oldest rechargeable battery?

Been using Mr DIY batteries for my alarm and wallclocks...the non-alkaline ones.

ok ma, comparable to eveready for much cheaper

2018. 5yrs ago.

ikea ladda quite good

in the market for a charger.... so far down to 2 brands: Liitokala M4 and Nitecore New I2.... anyone used them b4???

Why not try Xtar? They have local supplier and also easily found at taobao.

Alkaline leak eg E bunny brand or Ikea yellow ones is always a perennial problem which I attribute to the chemical composition. Don’t face with rechargeable much or ever with zinc carbon GP

Early 20's, I use GP rechargeable. At that time no IKEA rechargeable battery. And Panasonic Eneloop is expensive.

But all thrown away as it age already.

Than before MCO, news leak out that IKEA rechargeable same as Enelope but cheaper.

So I go sapu.

hey, i have those energizer ultimate lithium batteries too. nothing seems to work with them. i check the voltage still >1.5V but cannot use for anything because they are lithium type. what you use it for actually ar?
