Are $5 IKEA LADDA Batteries Similar to $20 Eneloop Professional Batteries?
Do you employ Eneloop Professional rechargeable batteries in your photograph tools? You could possibly get the identical efficiency at a a lot decrease price. This attention-grabbing 7-minute video from Matthew Eargle of AirborneSurfer seems to be into whether or not these comparatively costly batteries ($20 per pack of four) are literally equivalent to the less expensive IKEA LADDA batteries that price simply $5 per pack of four.
Noticing that every one of those rechargeable batteries are made in Japan, Eargle guess that there should be some overlap within the provide chain. There’s in all probability not that many battery factories pumping out completely different batteries for all types of various firms, and as a substitute it’s extra seemingly that there’s one manufacturing unit that white labels its batteries for firms to slap their names onto.
The unique Eneloops had been made in Takasaki, Japan. The manufacturing unit and Eneloop had been owned by Sanyo, however Panasonic later purchased the model in 2009. Fujitsu, however, presently owns the manufacturing unit. This single manufacturing unit is the one one able to producing these low self-discharge nickel-metal hydride batteries, and it provides many manufacturers similar to Amazon, Fujitsu, Panasonic, and… IKEA.
Utilizing his selfmade battery tester, Eargle discharged each an Eneloop Professional battery and an IKEA LADDA battery. He discovered that they each had fairly equivalent discharge patterns, and when recharged issues had been much more comparable. The IKEA LADDA had a capability of 2301.56mAh, and the Eneloop Professional had a capability of 2300.59mAh.
Total, Eargle discovered a distinction of lower than zero.05% between the 2 batteries. Statistically talking, they’re extraordinarily seemingly to be the identical battery based mostly on these exams, he concludes.
So when you end up needing extra rechargeable batteries to your gear, remember that spending extra money may not truly get you a greater product.
