    Batteries Not Contacting Terminal

    Hi guys, I’ve got a toy where the batteries don’t reach their terminal: In fact I bought 7 of the Jumanji roaring animals second hand. 5 seem to have the design flaw. 1 of the flawed 5 seems to have had the terminal bent so that it protrudes more to make contact. I thought the previous...

    Best Battery Tester

    PS The labeling states 1.5 Volt. Does this mean it is inaccurate for 1.2 Volt batteries? Another reason to look for something more reliable.

    Best Battery Tester

    Hi guys, I’ve had a few of these battery testers: & noticed they would all vary slightly in their reading. I’ve noticed there are digital versions in a very similar housing. But I am sceptical of them being any more accurate. Are there more reliable options? Got a recommendation? Thanx

    Leaking IKEA Ladda AAA 900

    It couldn’t have been that bad. The toy wouldn’t have worked. At the least I’d have removed any liquid leak with an ear cleaner.

    Leaking IKEA Ladda AAA 900

    Couldn’t be because the device doesn’t work now. It worked previously. It’s possible that previously there was a very minor alkaline leak that left residue. Could that chemically cause a problem with a rechargeable?

    Leaking IKEA Ladda AAA 900

    I use the Nitecore D4 as it was recommended on this forum to be the best at the time of purchase.

    Leaking IKEA Ladda AAA 900

    Would this microarcing be found anywhere within the toy’s circuitry? Or at the battery contact point only? You’ve got me thinking. If an alkaline battery had previously leaked could it have reduced the conductivity of the terminal (spring). Could this be the the cause of the microarcing you’re...

    Leaking IKEA Ladda AAA 900

    It’s an old toy. It’s been a year or two. Why’s that? Nope. Nothing different.

    Leaking IKEA Ladda AAA 900

    Hi guys, Will all rechargeable batteries leak eventually? 10 years? 20? Or did I just get unlucky? Thanx

    Corroded Eneloop Pro AAA's? Rough Blue Tops

    I don't have any high drain devices. I've started down the rechargable route for long term savings. My limited research suggested it was a good charger. I haven't used it yet. I kept the the packaging of the blue tops when I noticed they were different to the others. I can take photos over...

    Corroded Eneloop Pro AAA's? Rough Blue Tops

    Hi, I'm new to rechargeables. These were half price from Bing Lee (which is a prominent Australian retail outlet) so I bought them before I needed them during the new year. I only just got my charger this week - A Nitecore D4. Do you want me to discharge them in the Nitecore or in a device?
