TEST AA: BATTERIES Eneloops - Primary Lithium (NICE and ENERGIZER) - Alkaline

I hope this information will help someone choose AA batteries.

Alkaline: Premio (cheap alkaline) and Duracell Procell.
NiMh: Eneloop 1900 mA and Eneloop 2400 mA.
Primary Lithium (1.8V): Energizer Lithium and NICE Lithium.

For testing I have selected a reliable AA flashlight Klarus P1A

Official Data KLARUS P1A:

- Two output modes: ——Max output: 150 Lumens/ 1.5 hrs ——Low output: 11 Lumens/ 28 hrs

- Working Voltage: 0.9V - 1.8V

  • Battery: 1pc 1.5V AA (Alkaline, Ni-MH)

There are interesting results.
I hope that this information will serve to help someone.
Greetings to everyone

Wow, the NICE on actually is fairly nice. ;) Where did you get it from?

Hi.
Fasttech purchased cheaply.
I was surprised by the good competition with Energizer. :bigsmile:

Are these the NICE batteries ?

YES :wink:

Added to my cart, so they will be in my next order with Fasttech. I'll test them to provide some actual mah numbers.

It will be interesting.
I still hope for a decent charger to measure capacity. I’m waiting for the arrival of a BC-700.

Thanks for this review mate, I was waiting to see if the NICE cells were ok, and i guess so!

WOW!!! Thank for the test Trevi_lux… I will order the Nice lithium from FT right now!

Hey Trevi_lux…

What is the no load voltage of the Nice cells before using them (when receiving them)?

(fastech says 1.5v Lithium. If I am not wrong, Lithium primary are 1.7volt)

thanks for the test and efforts!!

as we learn and knew no surprise our P1A is regulated §$%&!ly ;)

The “Nice” received from Fasttech, are above 1.8V (1.82-1.83V) :smiley:
I have the Klarus from a year ago and I used little. But I think I’ll put in the car with a lithium inside :wink:

Anyone tested these Enelong ?

I read comments at Taobao site, some said are good batteries. I might try a pack since I’m filling FastTech cart with one of these.

Wow! Impressive! Thanks for testing and posting! Gonna have to pick me up some Nice batteries!

+1. Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing the NICE cells since FT listed them and been waiting for someone to review.

You do have a collection of batteries. You even provided a data sheet, too. Nice

I got 2 packs and I just tested 4 batteries, two from each pack.
Fresh out of the box I discharged them at 1A and I got the following
Battery 1: 1770Mah
Battery 2: 1778Mah
Battery 3: 1776Mah
Battery 4: 1762Mah

Then I charged them and tested again fresh out of the charger and I got the following:
Battery 1: 1882Mah
Battery 2: 1885Mah
Battery 3: 1884Mah
Battery 4: 1883Mah

So it’s basically 1900Mah at 1A for all of them, and very little variance. They pretty much perform like the last Eneloops I got. Not sure about how they retain charge in the long term, but the “out of the box” values are really promising imho.

Wow, they sure looks promising & very impressive balance capacities out from a random blister pack.

For the price, its hard to beat but yea, don’t know in long term usage/storage.

Thank you for your time to test them superpila :beer:

*What’s the Charger*for Primary Lithium (1.8V): Energizer Lithium and NICE Lithium?

Nitecore i4 can work or not ?

AFAIK Primary Lithium are not rechargeable.

Nitecore i4 can charge rechargeable Li-ion & Ni-MH batteries.
