I've also had good results with Turnigy batteries sold by, but shipping makes them expensive unless you are buying 20 or more. Eneloops, in my opinion, are hyped too much on OzBargain, and considerably more expensive without being substantially better. If you're wary of using AliExpress, Gearbest appear to have the next-best price:įor the batteries, I find Aldi's batteries ($6 per 4-pack) are fine for remotes and clocks and computer mice. Select the picture saying "Lii500 and adapter" for the correct price: Liitokala have an official store on AliExpress, and are the cheapest seller, but you can't use PayPal. This Amazon seller has the Lii-500 and an adapter with AU plug, but I'm not sure about the "Goofly" branding, possibly counterfeit? You'll need to press a few buttons to set this, every time you insert a battery. AAA batteries should be charged at 300mA, and AA batteries less than 2400mAh capacity should be charged at 700mA. This is not appropriate for all batteries. Every time you put batteries in it, it will default to charging mode, at 1000mA.However, some sellers open the box and add a charger with AU plug, like the Amazon seller listed below. So you'll need a plug adapter, which adds to the cost. Liitokala don't make a package (charger+adapter) with an Australian plug.So be careful when purchasing, cheapest price may not be best!
many sellers sell the charger WITHOUT the AC adapter.It charges the battery, then discharges it while measuring it, then charges it again.īut, there are a number of things to know. "NOR test" is more accurate, but takes longer. "Fast Test" discharges the battery, then charges it, and uses the charging current and time to estimate the battery capacity. Of all the chargers I have, I like the Liitokala Lii-500 best, and that's the one I recommend. Batteries with low capacity are still usable in low-current devices, so I use a permanent marker to draw a ring around them, and use them only in clocks and remote controls until they die Apologies for the late reply, I haven't logged in for a few days, so I didn't know you'd replied. Batteries eventually lose capacity, and without having the ability to test them, you won't know which ones are going bad. If you do want to use rechargeables a lot, and haven't had a charger previously, I really recommend getting one that lets you test the battery capacity, giving a result in mAh. Because of the way I remove and add batteries to the row, the leftmost ones were recently charged.
While the batteries are charging, I grab a few batteries from the left side of the row, and put them into the device that just had flat batteries. When a device stops working because of flat batteries, I charge that device's batteries, and I fill up the empty charger slots with batteries from the right-hand side of the row of spare batteries, and when the batteries finish charging, I add them to the left side of the row. So I have about ten spare AA batteries, which sit on a shelf, in a row (laying down, not standing up). Clocks, digital scales, remote controls, computer mice, torches, cameras.
I use NiMh batteries in almost everything. If you only have a small number of rechargeable batteries, a two-slot charger may be fine. I have several chargers, and all of them do four batteries or more.
