For the past year or so, I've noticed that Eveready batteries don't last as long as they used to.

Anyone else has the same experience?

Since when do they even last?

They were never long lasting to begin with

Bestest was the one sold by IKEA

Mr DIY so many alkaline brands, why eveready...

Buy rechargeable ikea ladda batteries...it is worth it

They are what the supermarkets I go to have on display. So, that's what I picked, for convenience.

But it so happens that I've just got some DIY batteries. Let see how that goes.

buy the Mr DIY china made batteries. Cheap and longer lasting

probably the lowest ranking battery, but so far no leak i think
ikea leak like mad

Now, there is an issue with rechargeable batteries.

Non-rechargeable batteries are 1.5 volt.

Re-chargeable batteries are 1.2 volt.

Not all devices can run on rechargeable batteries.

Protips: Heavier batteries usually last longer.

The red eveready is the worst. So light like nothing inside.

my boss buy dont know is real or fake eveready battery...
use in mouse not 1 week already kong...
worst that ccp alkali battery..///

Interesting, I have 2 new batteries, see how that goes.

What about GP, are they any good

Dell mouse?

Akaline battery = legendary for ruining devices by leaking.

Get energizer lithium instead or eneloop rechargeable.

the cheapo batteries are damn low in capacity la, like 500-800mah nia

buy alkaline which comes at 2600-3000mah, those can tahan

Once u get used to rechargeable, then dont need buy anymore. But betul la, need see the voltage

normal logitech wireless mouse...

Yes, the voltage is a problem.

If you google, some would say it's not a problem because the "power delivery" is the same regardless of voltage.

In practice, some devices work with rechargeable, and some just don't.

maybe u read it wrongly ?
its not Eveready
but Ove-aready.

IKEA stopped selling batteries beginning of this year. Wasted. Damn good batteries for cheap.

not so simple, rechargeable 1.2v only, non-rechargeable 1.5v, some device that sensitive to voltage will assume you low on power and cant operate normally, ie my old sony camera, the flash will take like 2-3 seconds to charge if use 1.5v alkaline batteries, but if use the expensive eneloop batteries, will take at least double the charging time, sometimes even triple.

or some remote control the brightness of the display(black text), almost cant visible when voltage low.

i hope those eneloop do have 1.5v version.

Bought a box of eveready, 90% of it can’t be used or last lesser than a month. Go back to energizer

Eveready is for low wattage usage.
Go to mr DIY get white and blue battery, this one better

yes

Battery life reduces at higher temperatures

Even though battery capacity at high temperatures is higher, battery life is shortened. Battery capacity is reduced by 50% at -22 degrees F – but battery LIFE increases by about 60%. Battery life is reduced at higher temperatures – for every 15 degrees F over 77, battery life is cut in half.

ikea no longer sell batteries..

fucking mad

Only the bunny batteries reign supreme over the others!

I only use two brands
Duracell and Energizer

I never use cheaper ones especially those non branded ones. Leaking and then fuck up your device.

THIS.. but their alkaline ok la,, but harga mcm sial.. Mr DIY alkaline is not as long lasting, but for the price, it beats even energizer by miles if u follow biji per hour per rm (or something liddat lol). First hand experience from PA system operator.

IKEA berand also machiam yass

Mr Dollar have better price for alkaline batteries IIRC.

And yeah, cheapo made in china alkaline also easy dabao all these dry cells.

The only pro of dry cells is they're light on weight.

Its ur mouse use lot of energy. I got 1 set of logitech mouse & mini keyboard. The batt last 1 or 2 weeks only. Tried few brans almost the same. Then i try new mouse logitech M170. It last for more than a year on single batt now. Im everyday online game player. Now i only use rm2.00 shop batt. No problem.

Battery megathread

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4888054

eveready is carbon zinc battery, if u use it on high powered devices like flashlights, then it will wear very very fast, use alkaline batteries instead, and they are not expensive, you dont have to use energizer alkaline batteries, there are many cheap alkaline batteries sold in MR DIY, daiso, etc

Seems so, yeah.

i noticed it as well, put inside my wall clock it died in a couple of months or so i think

panasonic kinda ok. Or if cheapskate like me just get GP Power around rm 3 x 4 AAA

Cheap batteries = shorter lifespan.
Expensive batteries = longer lifespan.

I have pried open a lot of different batteries when i was in school.

Heavier batteries usually last longer because they are usually alkaline batteries.
Carbon zinc batteries are very light.

So, cheap alkaline batteries can last longer than some expensive carbon zinc ( like eveready), although generally, on average, alkaline batteries are more expensive.

( for some reasons, i was collecting the carbon rods from zinc carbon batt. Secret project )

Panasonic

For battery leaking problem,
the liquid inside the alkaline battery is corrosive. If cheap and thin materials are used, then it will just eat the layer.

My mouse:

Energizer 6-8 months
Eveready 1 month

battery also ringan giler

mouse I always use rechargeable battery and with Pineng battery last about 3-4 mths. most of my remotes is on rechargeable battery. got one nitecore charger and its good enough. and at all time always have fully charged spares

The only issue with those chapalan chinese brand batteries from DIY is they prone to leaking...... They destroy ed few of my aircond remote controllers

Other than the voltage, the rechargeable battery capacities is far less than the normal battery. I have yet to see any rechargeable battery that last longer between charge compare to normal battery.

If not using the remote, just need to remove from compartment. The leak usually at the end of battery life. SO, just change after fixed time but it is hard thing to do because you don't remember. I have remote got corroded or LCD destroyed because of this myself

most of /k here are cheap ass-holes just buy the cheapest stuff and expect high quality.

I doubt /k here can even afford better quality batteries, mostly complained expensive..

Ya I noticed this too. Gonna change to energiser see how it goes. My soap dispenser tahan 3 weeks then mati already.

no issue charge my TESLA also

use Rechargable batteries. IKEA Ladda best value for money, comparable to Eneloop. I’ve been using Rechargable from Ladda, Eneloop, Enegizer and PowerRex. Remember to use high-drain battery for things like camera or remote cars.
For charging you can invest in a good charger, something you could recondition, cycle and slow/fast charge the battery. I have the PowerRex MH-C9000PRO.

Everyday also ada two types.... Black and gold.... I think the gold colour price almost like energiser.. My anothet fav batt is duracell by kinda difficult to get
