BATTERIES - Ladda - Ikea not stocking 2450mAh - Alternative recommendations

Just scraped around the 'net on this -- as a starting side dish, the ikea item you cite is still in stock in some locations in the EU and in the US - this is likely just a distribution thing ; AU is a very small market by comparison.Originally Posted by Xplorer
If you search about enough you can find various folks out there that have tested these ladda cells against what's out there, and by those results the consensus is they are indeed re-wrapped panasonic-eneloop pro cells made in JP. Now, if you look at the panasonic-eneloop cattledog, it seems they've dropped the 2450mah AA in the 'pro' range, and replaced it with a 2550mah cell. Are ikea going to get a batch of those rebranded for the purpose? Who knows...email them =) ... ( I wouldn't email them, I'd ask a mate in SE to ask them if they were going to restock that battery in AU..in swedish =*)
Chatting with someone I know in NL, he says the white ladda cells are discontinued, and have been replaced with the same product in green;
It's a bit odd, capacity of cells is dependent on region -> ...or this, no mention of that ->
Ever feel like asking, "will the real eneloop please stand up?" ...the panasonic enelopp division versus the panasonic consumer batteries division.....and I didn't go looking for CN knockoffs, but little doubt they exist.
For me, if I pull every string & widget (afterpay + ebayplus) my cheapest option would be these -> @ $38

FWIW, I've replaced all of my AA usage with buck-over-lipo rechargeable AA cells (microUSB on side) ~ they'll be more than exaggerating with the 3400mwh rating, and the only real way to get that is to measure, but that said the small lipo in them takes 305mah to go from fully depleted to full charge (at a painfully slow 200 +/-50ma), and 3400mwh@1.5v is about 2200mah, and thinking that a buck converter can get that, from a 305mah lipo as it goes from 4.2v down to cutoff at around 3volts, the beads on the abacus in my mind clatter without result =) In practice they're very unlike convention dry cell batteries, in that there's always 1.5v at the terminal delivering the same current, right up to the moment the lipo reaches 3volt and the buck suddenly switches off ; it makes for a hard comparo. What I find, in say an LED torch, they don't last as long on a charge compared to a name brand alkaline cell, but, they produce the same bright light, for longer...it doesn't get dimmer as the alkaline cell voltage sags, and as best I can figure it their 'usable' capacity is somewhere around the 1800mah @ 1.5v range...as to how many recharge cycles they'll take, I've yet to find out
