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.

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.

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

there's a reason for the huge wall of cheap batteries behind MrDIY counter

too poor to use expensive battery for clock / remote light sensor

What I use for my kyoritsu multimeter. Can't find this on shopee. So far it's been pretty damn good.

doublepow is still cheaper.
many people still have aa/aaa nicad/nimh charger around.

if charge weekly, what will be the lifespan ?

can give example such devices?
high power lithium AA can go to 1.8v per cell. rechargeable 1.2v not gonna cut it. tested it when digicam with AA was common.

flashlight = high drain.
my usage is low drain.

Is this good or bad?

So u use energizer lithium cell in your TV remote control?

what do you guys think of those cheap SONY aa/aaa? Is it genuine or fake?

Cap Ayam XCBatt died in less than 6 months. Electrolyte leakage. Expiry 2022.
