Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
I had a red HFT alkaline PP3 that actually *exploded* leaving bits of the cell nearby...
Speaking of batteries, I have a bench DMM that uses 6xC (UM2) batteries, I wonder what's the best retrofit... Think I could probably do 2xLi-ion and no converter needed, just need to figure out how to charge from the AC adapter...

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
I like others have had more duracell leakers then any other brand, also a couple of kirkland and enegizers. I bought lots of harbor frieght alkalines the orange ones and they expired in 2020 and still no leaks and powering devices, also tried harbor frights blue alkalines to good results and rechargeable units. However I did buy some eneloops and they are the best by far.Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Ive been seeing a lot of leaky duracell's lately. I was given some TV's and a box full of remotes... quite a few leaky duracells...Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Yea I can imagine that not ending well if they start trying to once over each other lol!
On the topic: Biltema branded batteries that I've used in the past have fared ok.

Had a bunch of leaking Duracells a couple of years ago, but not recently, touch wood.Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Yeah the AA 14500 NiZn's I had were only like 900mAh. Total crap. They need to be in SMPS buck/boost with BMS. At 1.5Wh it's not way too bad though 2.4Wh NiMH is typical...
The charger ("official") I had could individually charge. So charging isn't the problem...Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
it's my understanding that nizn are only a few hundred mA, and you dont charge them in packs anyway - atleast not with any retail chargerLeave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Now that BMS boards are standard practice for Li-ion, why not have BMS for NiZn...Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
that would be a textbook case for 18650's and a boost convertorLeave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
That may be fatal for something that does take 10 batteries. LolLeave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
I tried a couple and they are fragile. Powergenix NiZn were terrible in cycle life, I don't think I even got 10 cycles before they dropped dead, even with their own charger.
Yeah, maybe 5 with doing this...Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
so if you pair them with NiMH you get 3v?Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Yes they are at the 1.7 to 1.8 when new and as they age the voltage becomes lower when they reach about 1.5 volts they are pretty worn out and will not last long on a chargeLeave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
I thought these NiZN batteries are like 1.7 or even 1.8V?Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Theoretically they are identical.
Question is if they are better because they probably aren't counterfeit!Leave a comment:

procell were marketed in europe for company use to deter theft by workers.
i doubt they are different internally.Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Anyone had experience with Duracell's Procell (all black duracell instead of copper top), are these any better?
I have a feeling that a lot of the non blister pack Duracell could be fakes. Not sure, for those people living in the USA there's a store "Big Lots" that I have a suspicion that they sell fake or self-packaged Duracells to get a better price (which isn't that much better)... I haven't seen any leaking on the shelf but these seem to all be in that paperboard under container and shrink wrapped on top. Not sure if these are fake or not but very strange packaging IMHO.
IMHO those carbon zinc batteries, they tend to "leak" into the air (as in they dry up instead of leaking liquid into your $EXPENSIVE$EQUIPMENT)... little/no equipment damage, but does damage the pocket book if you don't watch how much you pay. Plus their ESR is pitiful.Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
For this reason, I have started to avoid alkaline batteries whenever possible.
For smoke detectors, remote controllers, and other applications with low drain, I've rediscovered / switched back to the good old Carbon Zinc ("Heavy Duty" / "Super Heavy Duty") chemistry. And from those, Panasonic and Toshiba are still the best, IMO - no leaks, and they will last for years and years without issue. On that note, the original C-Zn Panasonic batteries that came with my parents' DVD/home theater system are close to 15 years old now! Not only have they not leaked, but they are still holding up and used in the remote for that DVD player.(And yes, that DVD/home theater does see a lot of use, because it's used every time the TV is On.)
Those are the ones I mentioned that came in a cardboard box that hid the leaks. I don't remember all of the battery names.
I do that too, except I have a huge pile now.Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
Otherwise... I've been to Lidl before. They aren't great when it comes to fresh fruit and vegetables, but there are other stores for that stuff. On the other hand, Lidl does have some items (snacks, meat, baking stuff, and condiments) that no other store can beat in price. Heck, the first one that opened here was right next to a Wallmart. Just imagine the nerve to do that.Leave a comment:

Re: Has anyone had issues with Rayovac Alkaline batteries leaking
there is a huge europe-wide chain called "Lidl"
do you have them in the u.s.??
they have the best alks - proven in tests.Leave a comment:

by m1ch43lzmHi, i have this RadioShack IR thermometer Cat. No 22-170 which takes 2xAAA batteriss, I've tried with NiMH AAA rechargeables but it complains about low voltage, it flashes an "empty" battery and doesn't measure anything, even with freshly charged 2xAAA NiMH, so i have to "borrow" the batteries from my multimeter when i want to use it
I'm thinking abour replacing the 2xAAA batteries with a small LiPo battery that fits inside that space, but the voltage would be too high (4.2v)
I'm open to suggestions on whether i should use an LDO or another type of voltage... -
by howardc64Order my parts from mobilesentrix.com and iPhone batteries have been excellent. Recently got 3x bad A1534 (2015) batteries. All would work until ~30-40+% and drop to < 10% instantly. Typical sign of cheap batteries.
Perhaps the less popular A1534 model's aftermarket batteries are more source limited. Just find it surprising quality from mobilesentrix (usually fairly high quality aftermarket parts) have been so poor.
BTW, this isn't the only defective parts I've had from mobilesentrix. Amongst others including iPad Air touch screen and A1989 touch bar (display was... -
by AstonishedHi friends of electronics
What you see in the video and pictures attached is the circuit for charging the batteries of a DC motor.
The problem is that this circuit cannot charge the batteries (3 1800mAH NiMH batteries) any more. When the circuit was OK, its green LEDs lit up one at a time to show that the batteries have charged more. But now that the circuit is flawed, LEDs light up as you see in the video and at the same time successive beeps are heard.
Please help me fix this circuit.

by carrzkissHello, all.
Cyberpower Battery Backup Unit.
I bought two new ML18-12 batteries through Amazon (They have already refunded my money for the two batteries as we thought the batteries might have been bad.)
When I got them in, they were not fully charged. I connected them to the UPS and waited 24 hours before connecting any networking equipment.
In parallel, they read 24v, but within 24 hours, the meter on the front of the unit dropped from 4 to 3 bars on the battery charge indicator.
Checking the voltage, it was down to 22v.
I quickly removed everything... -
Problem description:
My UPS requires new batteries every ~3 months; in this time frame, an average of about 5 to 10 power flickers or short power interruptions (< 2 minutes) occur. After an average of 3 months, a new pair of batteries begins to fail to keep the UPS up during any flicker or power interruption. The load it powers is a single computer/workstation running 24/7 with a continuous consumption between 200W to 300W.
UPS model:
The Atlantis 1001 is a non-inexpensive (~120€ back then) home/office offline UPS, rated 1000VA, 600W, designed for two 7Ah... - Loading...
