Good place to buy rechargable batteries..

[sdzbwxp]

I don't know where everybody else buys batteries from. I bought a set of batteries and charger off ebay from a seller about a year ago for a decent price. Since then, i receive emails from the seller every few weeks about new promotions on batteries. Now, he is running a website offering free shipping in canada for over $50. Here is the website : link (http://pilesenligne.com). Their batteries are very good quality.

Here is a coupon code you can knock off $15 for order over $50.

bg850tlv159

with above coupons, each battery will cost about $2.50 to $3.00. I think it's not bad price.

NOTE: Once you add any item into your cart, you will see extra discount show up automatically, and you can use the coupon on top of that.

Here is another coupon al975tlv199 25% off order over $100

[Siefer999]

im good with the 8 rechargables...i dont think i could use $50 worth of rechargable batteries


btw, link not working for me

[sdzbwxp]

i just tested it, and the link works fine for me. It takes about 5 seconds before it starts to load the page.

here is the web address:

Avoid Pure energy at all cost!! Few of my friends and myself have used pure energy. they all die after only few charges. the charger can't be used to charge any other batteries. WM has them for even cheaper!!! won't buy them even at $2.....

[ihk]

would be nice for group purchase.

so will we get free ship after applying the $15 off $50 coupon?

I just did some testing with their cart and check out system. You have to have $50 or more to quality for shipping. Something i found was wield. When i added an addidtional battery case, it brought the total price down. My total was $47 after all discount and coupons. The battery case cost $7, so i added it, then my total bacame to $43. The discount changed from $7 to $21. I guess it's a bug with their system....

Aren't Pure Energy just RAM batteries and not Nimhs.

if you are talking about Pure Energy's RAM's, then, yes they are crap, they leak if you do not constantly use them and recharge them

[setell]

any NiMH rechargeable battery is good. I use the Duracell AA rechargeables and they are great for what I want to use it for. They last long with discman's, mp3 players, digital cameras etc.... besides you can get a decent deal on them if you get it on sale.

[sdzbwxp]

More follow up!!!!

I found that as soon as you add the 3-pk battery cases, or the battery tester into your cart, the system will deduct additional 20% off total. Here is My order:

12 AA
12 AAA
1 Battery Tester
3-pk Battery Cases


Subtotal:
CA$86.70 (US$ 72.12)
Discount:
CA$21.69 (US$ 18.04)
Discount coupon :
CA$15.00 (US$ 12.48)
Discounted subtotal:
CA$49.99 (US$ 41.58)
Shipping:
CA$0.00 (US$ 0.00)
TPS GST 7%:
CA$3.50 (US$ 2.91)
TVQ 7.5%:
CA$4.01 (US$ 3.34)


TOTAL:
CA$57.50 (US$ 47.83)


work out to be 57.50 in total....that's $2.39 per battery, plus free tester and cases......

Yeah, took a hard lesson and would never touch them again.

[soblecram]

costco has the NIMH AA/AAA batteries (I thought I saw them around $25 for 6AA/2AAA) the charger with 4 AA was around the $35 mark

[Pete Jones]

Does anyone know where in the GTA one can just find those battery cases? I have lots of batteries and could use some nice plastic cases to keep them organized.

--Pete

[miss_swan]

Last time I checked Costco has the 6AA+2AA (?)combo for 19.99 and the Sanyo-branded charger with 4x2300mah AA batts for 29.99

Personally, I picked up the Futureshop Panasonic charger/battery deal for 24.99 and it's working great. Great deal for the money.

If I didn't get that deal I would order from www.paulsfinest.com and get the Powerex maha bundle. Plus, you get battery holders too. But the panny deal was too good to pass up since I only really use AA rechargables for my digicam so I don't need a super-nice charger/batt system.

[madman604]

personally i get my ni-mh batts from "theshorelinemarket" on ebay. the 2300 mAh AA's work out to about $2 each after shipping. he has 10,000 mAh D cells too. no problems so far.

[here4yagurlz]

i just use with my mouse lol.

[mrgrieves]

Thanks! Got a quick charger, 8 AA and 4 AAA with battery cases for $56 incl tax and shipping.

And...they are leakers. The company acts surprised when they are made aware of this problem.

This is one company you dont want to invest in.

[here4yagurlz]

i dont see why everyone is so against P.E. Ive had mine for about 2 months, did at least 15 charges so far and hasnt had a problem charging. And who cares if you cant charge other batteries in it? its $17, not like I need to.

The only thing is, one pair of my batteries I notice its causes my mouse to go jerky a few times, but once I recharge it..it was fine. its happened a few times, only after a few days of use in the mouse. This kinda worries me.

[hytong]

Pure Energy (http://www.pureenergybattery.com) make rechargeable alkalines and they have different chemistry than Ni based batteries. Recharge and discharge characteristics are fundamentally different.

bought some 4 AA Energizer 2500 mAH NiMH Batteries off this guy. these are made in japan. did a little research i think they are rebadged sanyo's. total cost is $12.32 shipped. recieved mine pretty quick, nice packaging and good item. best price for 4aa nimh recharchable batteries online, that are made in japan, that i found online. 6 left so hurry =)

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5811668377&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

these are sanyo aaa's. best deal i found and the batteries are doing just fine.

*really i did indepth research on ebay of high quality max capacity batteries and these are the best deals in my mind in all of ebay. researched like 2 weeks ago, maybe you can find a better deal now?*

[Matryx]

anyone here have bought a battery charger on ebay? I'm looking for a smart and fast battery charger with the microprocessor control chip. I heard that you should only get chargers with the microprocessor chip so it doesn't overcharge your batteries or reduce its lifespan.

[d-c]

I just bought some batteries and a Maha charger from www.thomasdistributing.com ... looks to be a lot cheaper than paulsfinest.com.

[miss_swan]

I just bought some batteries and a Maha charger from www.thomasdistributing.com ... looks to be a lot cheaper than paulsfinest.com.


For my own interest and to see if the quoted poster is in/correct I did a quick comparo between the two:

ThomasDistributing, 401 charger plus 8x2500mah powerex batts, free travel bag and two batt covers ~ 64.08 and converted into CAD is currently ~ 76.47 CAD before any taxes/duties.

Paulsfinest, 401 charger with 8x2500mah powerex batts, two batt covers is ~ 92 bucks CAD including all taxes and all shipping (shipped to me, in BC) total.

So, i'm not sure how much taxes/duties customs will charge the Thomas Distributing will eventually rack up to ... but it looks like it may be a slightly better deal from TD as you also get the carry case.

That's probably because of the ton of volume TD does. If the CAD wasn't as strong against the US dollar like in the past the TD deal wouldn't be competitive.

[ag2000]

Also would like to mention - avoid any noname batteries, especially rechargeables - I had bad experience with some where they would charge maybe 10-20 times and then would not hold charge at all from any subsequent charges. SInce that time I stick with well known or recommended brands only. ;)

Superstore has them $15 or 16 i think. If it was me, I wouldn't bother ordering on ebay. It's too much hassle to just save 2 or 3 dollars.

those are what i use. ive had the 2100 maH ones for over a year and they still hold their charge great.

[Tsukagi]

yea..i buy batteries of ebay too...it's way cheaper.
i just got AAA 900 mah rechargeables...$2 each. and that's including shipping.

[curtis]

Sony 2500mAh batteries are $14.99 for four at Computer Systems Centre at Spadina & College (vs $17.99 at Sony Store).

I think these are MIJ.

I bought Pure Energy rechargable alkalines because I needed the full 1.5 voltage per cell, the 1.2 volts of a Nicad etc. just didn't work.
Most of these batteries started to leak after a while and ruined whatever they were installed in.
I sent Pure Energy a letter twice with the defective leaking batteries. Never heard back from them.
These batteries should not be sold by anyone.

ahh... I should have mentioned I had it shipped to an Amerifriend (3.99 flat rate shipping within the US). But they do ship to Canada through USPS.

There are some things at Thomas Distributing that are pretty cheap and some that are just ok prices. I got the Maha C204F charger with 4xAAA batteries and the car adapter for 19.97. You can then add on as many packs of rechargeable batteries at a discount - 4x Maha/Energizer 2500mAh for 9.50, 4x Lenmar 2300mAh for 5.90, etc.

[Bargainman]

Thank you for the coupon code, I already mentionned this site a week ago, I just received my order today, the shipping is very fast (3days) only from my purchase date.

Strange. I've use Pure Energys for a couple years now, and have never had a leak. They won't last for as many charge cycles as nimh, but I tend to think of them as better than regular alkaline, instead of inferior to nimh. They also have much better charge retention than nimh (which will deplete in a few weeks, used or not) so they're great for low usage things like remotes, flashlights, etc.

[surfmonster]

I buy all my batteries from http://www.onlybatteries.com. They are inexpensive and in Montreal also (Canadian shipping)

[accent]

Thank you!

I just bought a ton of stuff from them. I hope I never need to buy batteries again!!!! :lol:

[Smite]

Agreed, my folks and I have used Pure Energy for 7-8 years and only had 2-3 leak. About the same ratio as Duracell in our experience, except due to recharging, we've gone through a lot less Pure Energy. (In fact, in all that time, the only Pure Energys we've had to replace were those 2-3...) And once you clean up the mess, I've never had any electronics quit working due to leakage. Everything in our houses that use AA or AAA have Pure Energys in them.

I'm surprised to hear about the troubles other people are having with them. I've always strongly recommended them.

The website i posted in the #1 post sells a good smart fast charger with built in microprocessor. Use the coupon code i posted.....price should work out pretty reasonable.....

I found that as soon as you add the 3-pk battery cases, or the battery tester into your cart, the system will deduct additional 20% off total. Here is My order:

12 AA
12 AAA
1 Battery Tester
3-pk Battery Cases





work out to be 57.50 in total....that's $2.39 per battery, plus free tester and cases......

ok that's freakin weird - but it did the same for me. I added the cases and it dropped the price...

edit - ok, for orders over $75 it will automatically deduct 25% and then you can apply the $15 off coupon... wish I'd see the 25% off of $100 a little sooner... a $100 order would be .75*.75*$100 = $56... which means free shipping. damn.

[Kasakato]

I have over 50 PureEnergy batteries and have only had a problem with 1 that leaked. Most are in what ever gadget I have. So far no problems.

[ea77]

when only the best will do and your one to demand performance from your batteries, plus want to have a quick charge time purchase only the Rayovac IC3.

I have 12 of the AA batteries and have been impressed by their performance. Used in Nikon flash, and Nikon SLR camera, and R/C transmitter. High discharge low discharge these batteries last long and to boot charge in 15mins!

I bought mine at Walmart. They may also be found at Radio Shack and FutureShop.

Of course you get what you pay for.

Avoid Pure energy at all cost!! Few of my friends and myself have used pure energy. they all die after only few charges. the charger can't be used to charge any other batteries. WM has them for even cheaper!!! won't buy them even at $2.....

Pure energy batteries are great if you keep charging them. If you ever let them run dead then they aren't going to last long. If you keep charging them after every couple hours of use they will last. I've had the same set of pure energy's for over 2.5 years and they still work like new.

Pure Energy batteries are only designed to be charged FULLY ~25 times. After that they are almost useless.

I think the Panasonic batteries at Future Shop are good. However, they aren't cheap either. $60 bucks a pop for charger + 4AA.

Here's another vote against pure enershit. We spent loads on them and they all leaked. Even before we had a chance to charge them. Threw them all out. Total waste of money. Best ones so far are the Sanyo-branded ones.

[zoomzoom]

Hey guys... I was at the local Shopper's Drug Mart this evening and noticed that they had a sign saying that the Duracell (Rechargeable Accu) 30-minute quick charger + 4 AA's are on clearance for $32.99. Their regular price is $63.99. I can't tell you much more about them as they were all sold out and only the sign was left. I bought the 1-hour quick charger + 4 AA (2050mAh) batteries last year during their other clearance for $24.99, so for the 30-minute quick charger, the $32.99 price might be an alright deal. So far the set I bought last year has been excellent.

[miss_swan]

I think the Panasonic batteries at Future Shop are good. However, they aren't cheap either. $60 bucks a pop for charger + 4AA.

They had these a 3-4 months ago on sale for 24.99 which was a good deal.
