Kusje Supersonic July 30, 2017 Share July 30, 2017 I personally find them OK, won't leak but won't keep a charge as good as Eneloop. Not sure if it's just me or my charger.Buy the more expensive ones. They are eneloops in disguise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kb27 Supersonic July 30, 2017 Share July 30, 2017 Any good/bad experience with those battery? Will leak? Rechargeables very seldom leak, unlike primary batteries like alkaline. AmazonBasics rechargeables is rumoured to be eneloop oem. Some people did some testing and found the results very close. However, I had a couple of AmazonBasics that becomes 0V and could not charge in the standard charger. So i took a DC power supply, set it to 2V and zap the battery a few times. After that it can charge normally, no need to throw away. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as don't leak, hold slightly less charge also nevermind. Rechargeables very seldom leak, unlike primary batteries like alkaline. AmazonBasics rechargeables is rumoured to be eneloop oem.

I have IKEA LADDA AAs and AAAs leaking. The AAAs, never even open up from the packaging already leaked. Maybe give them a try. You zap them + to + and - to - or + to - ?

Kusje Supersonic July 30, 2017 Share July 30, 2017 Read the NLee the engineer reviews for these 2 batteries. Highly likely they are just rebranded eneloops based on tests. But they also have another model which is cheaper and made in China so better read the reviews first to be sure you are getting what you want.

Always use rechargeables where you can't afford them to leak. Like remote controls, flashlights, or devices you seldom use. When you use alkaline, use it where you are likely to find leakage, before it gets too bad. I lost a flashlight bcuz an alkaline battery leaked so badly that it's stuck in the tube.of the flashlight. Yeah, zap + to +. Amazonbasic rechargeables are good. Get the high capacity ones. They cost about $3 a piece. If you buy standard eneloop, say from Mustafa, it's about $5 a piece. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcf777 Turbocharged August 2, 2017 Share August 2, 2017 http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/cabbies-private-hire-drivers-cannot-do-courier-jobs-lta Taxi drivers and private-hire drivers are not allowed to be couriers or deliverymen for goods if there is no passenger on board, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said yesterday. In response to queries from The Straits Times, an LTA spokesman said: "Under our regulations, taxis and private-hire cars are meant to carry passengers for hire and reward, and cannot be used solely for the conveyance of goods. "However, passengers who hire a taxi or a private-hire car are allowed to carry goods with them." LTA was unable to comment immediately on the penalties for infringement, or if anyone has been taken to task yet. Get The Straits Times newsletters in your inboxSIGN UP ComfortDelGro, the biggest taxi company here, confirmed its drivers have taken jobs from delivery companies such as Amazon Prime, but maintained that the goods are always accompanied by a passenger. Drivers, however, said this was not always the case. Cabby Henry Tay, 48, said: "Previously, there was a fear that what we delivered would be contraband or drugs. But now, with an established company like Amazon, we feel it is quite safe. "The taxi business is getting slow, so cabbies need to do something to supplement their earnings." amazon29.jpg Related Story Amazon hires more drivers to meet demand Private-hire driver Tan Ee Hsing, 41, said he has not done any deliveries himself, but has helped direct some 200 drivers to Adecco, Amazon's hiring agent here. "The rates these delivery companies pay are generally higher than what drivers make from passenger fares," he said. Premier Taxi managing director Lim Chong Boo said: "We remind our drivers that they are not allowed to perform courier services without anyone on board." However, he said it was "very difficult" for the authorities to enforce regulations, given that there are about 26,000 taxis and more than 40,000 chauffeured private- hire cars here. Prime Taxi chairman Neo Nam Heng said the courier business helps drivers optimise capacity during the off-peak hours between 10am and 4pm. "I have encouraged all the drivers of my fleet of 1,500 taxis to take up such bookings," he said. Housewife C.N. Yeo, 51, said she has had purchases delivered to her home by a Comfort taxi driver. Amazon could not respond by press time yesterday. Lazada, which also owns online grocer RedMart, said it does not use taxis or private-hire cars for deliveries. • Additional reporting by Tiffany Fumiko Tay 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
