Thought I'd start a thread for Aussie-based deals although I know there are only a dozen or so active members. Recently bought these two bargains from Element14. Helping hands for $3.30. Discontinued line only 2 left in stock. Taiwanese made, better than the Chinese stuff.

And this Rolson vacuum base vice. $17. Could only find it for $50 on ebay and the like. There have been comments about it not sticking to surfaces but after rubbing my base with 800+1200 wet and dry, it sticks to my timber laminate table for 30+minutes.

Greetings from The Land Downunder
Still plenty of these available;
Genuine ASUS Laptop battery packs, containing 8*Samsung ICR18650-28A cells.
Excellent idea bud, subscribed

Nice idea
Yea they’re verified as good cells too.
Actual capacity is around 2600 unless you can charge to 4.3V. Still, quite usable. I scored a pack from the battery bin but normally a single cell is around $5, so even with shipping, this comes out around $3 a cell.
Eneloop Tones ‘UOMO’ 8 x AA Rechargeable NiMH LSD Batteries $19.98 save $20.00 shipping $4.95 at Dick Smith.

Bugger. I just bought eight Turnigys from Hobby King for $44.00. I got tired of waiting for these to come up again. It had to happen.

Thanks Lightsaber! Any reviews of these around?
Eneloops? Plenty, but you can just skip that and buy some. These are the same battery as Gen 3, as they are Gen 3 with pretty outsides. I have two 8 packs of UOMO, and a few packs of Rouge, all Gen 3, they also do a Tropical bunch with shades of yellow and orange. Youre looking at versions with min 1900 or 2000 mAh and 1800 recharges.
The price is good, I got most of mine from DS when they do these silly specials.
Same, 8 packs of glitters, 4 packs of Rouge, 2 packs of tropicos and 5 packs of these Uomos. I don’t seem to buy any eneloops other than whats on special at Dickies
I originally had 0 eneloops, now im drowning in them lol.
You should have asked me, I have tons of unopened eneloop 4 and 8 packs laying around
Every time time I find a good deal I feel like I have to buy them, but now I’ve got 100s of batteries I’ll probably never use.
Its a DSE and OzB conspiracy.
You should sell them then! Few years down the track they’ll be wasted.
At first I thought you were asking to buy some but then I had to re read it, if anyone wants some for cost plus postage they can PM me but I’m not really trying to get rid of them but I’d help people out if they need some and they aren’t on sale.
That’s really generous of you ezarc. It’s like combining OzB and BLF spirit in one. Even though I don’t need any I really appreciate you offering people your unopened batteries for cost and postage.
Slewflash
Eneloops are an OzB speciality!
About once a month DSE have a decent special on them, so if you need em you won’t be waiting long.
Always seem to be AA’s…never AAA’s…weird.
fixed
I have 12, combo of OzB and DSE + 4 pro AAA from ChibiM
Thanks for the generous offer ezarc. I'll keep you in mind next time. Maybe you just need more lights to use all the batteries?

Actually DSE has had AAA on sale since Feb’14 far more often than in any previous year as far as I recall….
So I am flush with Eneloop AA & AAA riches….

But I am willing to sacrifice myself, & will accept some more from ezarc’s Eneloop giveaway when he reaches the 2000 posts mark…. :bigsmile:

Good idea for us underworld inhabitants.

And thanks FmC – that’s a find and I can pickup – double rainbow!
For what’s it’s worth…
I got a few packs of Eneloop XX’s a year ago from ecocell.com.au at what I thought was a decent price.
(No affiliation whatsoever). I use them in my DA40 and EA40.

Subscribed, good to have some Aussie deals. Thanks aoeu :bigsmile:
Thanks guys.
Where’s a good place to get energizer lithium primary AAs and AAAs ?
They’re about $20 for a 4 pack at woolies.

Occasionally they are around $16 at Woolies/Coles. BigW (owned by Woolies) had them on OzB at $9 for 4 online only but offered click and collect too, but then never had stock online and while stores had plenty, but would not cover online deals. It was very shady IMO.
I havent seen them cheaper though than about $16. Masters has them for $16.90 atm https://www.masters.com.au/product/902410819/energizer-aa-ultimate-lithi...
But I think closest Masters to us is Caboolture/Morayfield.
Edit: Same price at Bunnings http://www.bunnings.com.au/energizer-aa-lithium-batteries-4pk-_p4410081
Thanks.
Looks like I’ll have a snag at Bunnings on the weekend
edit: (I wonder if the seppos know what a snag is)

Never could pass by their snizzles. We used to do a stint on one for cadets.
I measured the NICE lithium batteries from FastTech at the same mAh as Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, I have the details somewhere but from memory they were both just under 3000mAh at 1A draw. I bought 40 from FastTech for $40 ($1 each).
