Wow you guys so outdated
Latest technology is battery AAA or whatever size that you want can be charged with micro USB, or USB type C aka same charger as your phone charger

Generally, NiMH batteries that are properly cared for (charged and used often, stored in a cool, dry place, and not dropped) will last for 500 – 1000 charges or approximately two to three years. Remember, the more you use and charge NiMH, the longer they will last.

I avoid the really cheap batteries you can find on lazada/shopee. Like everyone say..they leak. Mine was soft even, and my little one likes to bite on it.

Now I use

1) For most of my stuff: "Voninko" AA/AAA batteries from Mr DIY (it's white+blue in colour). Kids toys, remote, etc. It feels more premium that the super cheap ones. smile.gif

2) For kids toys: Rechargable AA/AAA lipo batteries that can be charged directly using usb type c cables. Can buy from lazada/shopee. This outputs 1.5V, and works with many kids electronics such as remote control cars, etc. I don't use this when I know my kids may throw the toy into water, abuse, etc.

3) My old NiMH rechargable for some electronics. That said, I seldom use this already because many of my devices can't work with its voltage of 1.2V. I have a bunch of these and they're basically unused trash right now.

voniko is a good battery IMHO

Take the shelf life with a pinch of salt. I have energizer max that expire in 2028 but already leak today.

that would be part of marketing, that's for sure

can finish em all within a year or two

i believe they're both still ~ 1.3V, just different capacities. one will stay "on" longer thus requiring less charging. thus lower charge cycle, thus perhaps last longer? something like that...

edit...ime, both suck at wall clocks (low drain devices) coz of their lower voltage. ymmv
*
I have bought the 2450 before, so far ok use it for remote, clock etc

on my mouse, it can last for about 3 months ( use it daily )

price wise rm39.90 for 2450 mah vs rm24.90 for 1900mah ( set of 4 cells )

how many time charging cycle?

I didnt keep tab on mine, but easily passed 4 years I think

use occasionally on remote/wall clocks mostly

I dislike buying the disposable one since many of them tends to leak on the device

yeah, exactly why i migrated to the rechargeable. hate the leaks spoiling the devices...
but, you have no issues with your clocks? hurmmm...i noticed i need to replace the rechargeables more often compared to the conventional ones on the clocks.
i.e. rechargeables might require changing around 6months, whilst the conventional...more than a year.
*
Nice observations on the clock . Yeah come to think of it , I think I change the battery more frequently on the clock compared to the normal batteries

But 0 case of leaking so far on rechargeable batteries

Of course get the biggest capacity available. No reason to get the lower.

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.
