Ikea Ladda black and white ready to use AA and AAA battery tests.

These were purchased from Springvale Ikea in Melbourne.

The packaging and batteries.

The discharge test was carried out on a ICharger 208B.
There was a .05 volt difference in voltage reading from the battery in the cradle and the input of the charger. I could not get resistance in the battery cradle any lower than this.
The batteries were charged prior to testing in a 12 year old Sony smart charger which has been used thousands of times over this period.

The AAA battery was tested at 1 amp and 1.5 amp discharge.

At 1 amp discharge, a starting voltage of 1.43, capacity with the discharge test ending at .9 volts was 895 mAh.

At 1.5 amp discharge, starting voltage of 1.40, capacity with the discharge test ending at .9 volts was 861 mAh.

The AA testing was carried out with discharge rates of 1 and 2 amps.

At 1 amp discharge, starting voltage of 1.39, capacity with the discharge test ending at .9 volts was 2.46 Ah.

At 2 amp discharge, starting voltage of 1.36, capacity with the discharge test ending at .9 volts was 2 Ah.

Nice to see some numbers on these.
Got both sizes 8 weeks ago and like them, work as well or better than the Eneloops for me.

Thanks for testing and posting.

Are the battery “low self discharge”?
Do they have “memory effect”, or can be full charge even they are not fully discharge?

4

They are ready to use so they are LSD.

5

Yes they are supposed to be LSD and there is no memory effect with NiMH batteries. Battery voltage out of the packet was around 1.38 to 1.39 volts on all eight batteries.

6

So they are Eneloop rebranded? Or not?

7

Darn, my nearest Ikea is 2 hours drive, and they want $10 to ship them when ordering from the website.

I have no idea. If I had a new Eneloop I would of tested it. The only ones I have been charged hundreds of times and when tested recently are down a bit on capacity.
