Top 5 manufacturers rechargeable batteries
Vital source of energy
Author: Alexander Lazarenko
Children's toys, cameras, radio-controlled models, remote control panels, flashlights, electronic clocks, portable devices and other devices without batteries will be a beautiful, but useless pile of high-tech "trash." Batteries give life to the achievements of technical progress and do so imperceptibly as long as the charge glows. The issue of saving and restoring this notorious charge led to the creation of many times rechargeable batteries.
Batteries differ in manufacturing technology and chemical composition. And the main criteria for choosing the best batteries: charging speed, specific energy consumption and energy density, operating temperature, self-discharge level, duration of work on one charge and number of recharge cycles.
The main battery sizes are AA (finger type), AAA (little finger), less often C, D and 9V (crown). Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are most often used for these sizes. Nickel-metal hydride win in a larger capacity with the same dimensions, but lose in service life. Nickel-cadmium is about 2 times more prone to self-discharge. Battery leaders are most often using nickel-metal hydride technology. The differences between the goods are minimal. And the service life is most often affected by the method of operation and storage. And yet, we will demonstrate the top five best battery manufacturers on the Russian market.

PANASONIC ENELOOP
375 (rechargeable batteries Panasonic Eneloop 750 mAh AAA)
The emergence of a series of batteries Eneloop from Panasonic, perhaps, can give a new round of development and improvement of the battery industry. Panasonic's internal research has shown that these batteries can withstand 2,100 charging cycles, they can even be used after 10 years of storage, and the level of charge after 5 years of storage will not fall below 70%. Initial charging of the Eneloop series batteries is also performed in an unusual way: from solar batteries. Capacity ratings: 1900 and 750 mAh for sizes AA and AAA respectively. It should be added that there are still a series of Eneloop Light and Eneloop Pro. Resistance to self-discharge, durability, wide applicability, optimal values of capacity, reasonable price make Panasonic Eneloop rechargeable batteries the leader of our rating. Main advantages:

Accidentally found out about the Eneloop batteries. Advertising only shouts about other brands. And Panasonic just created a new and the best rechargeable batteries. For fidelity, I bought another native exercise and in 3-4 hours the Eneloop is ready for work. |

DURACELL
320 (Duracell HR6 2400 mAh rechargeable batteries)
Among the large line of Duracell products, there was a place for rechargeable batteries, only with a limited choice of sizes: AA and AAA. But thanks to the patented technology Duralock premium battery Duracell HR6 2400 mAh can last up to 5 years. As the name implies, the specific power consumption of a battery is 2400 mAh, which is best suited for devices with increased power consumption (for example, for flashlights). Batteries are supplied in an already charged form, they can be used immediately from the package. During the year of storage, Duracell batteries are guaranteed to hold a charge of up to 80%.

Dyurasel have the best rechargeable batteries. They have a large capacity and minimal self-discharge. I use them as spare for the camera. At any time you can use without thinking. And on new ones, I shot high-quality videos for over half an hour right from the package. Resistant to fast charge. |

ENERGIZER
950 (ENERGIZER® POWER PLUS rechargeable batteries - 9V)
The history of the American company Energizer has more than 120 years, and the company's products are popular all over the world. Energizer batteries are available in various sizes. Energizer® Power Plus - 9V (krone) is one of the representatives of the product line of this company. This is a very powerful power source. Battery type - Ni-MH, power consumption - 175 mAh, operating temperature range - from -30 ° C to + 50 ° C. The stated resource is up to 100 recharges, which may initially confuse the user, but it is worth considering the operating voltage of 9 volts. In addition, all Energizer batteries are pre-charged.

Need a crown for the children's railway. I was not looking for a battery, but a rechargeable battery. Found at Energizer - not all manufacturers produce crowns. The charge holds for a long time. We have been using for a couple of years now, the flight is normal. |

Varta
370 (rechargeable batteries VARTA C 3000 mAh)
The VARTA product range will satisfy the energy needs of any device. The patented Ready2Use technology allows you to save power for the entire storage time, although, as you know, many batteries lose it over time. Another weighty argument to choose VARTA batteries is their unpretentiousness to the manufacturer and the power of the charger, as long as it conforms to the standard and size.

Always considered VARTA the best batteries and rechargeable batteries. I have been using it for 3 years in a camera, periodically charging it. Work on the conscience. Although here's a friend got a clear fake, they do not even reach the claimed capacity by half. |

GP
300 (rechargeable batteries GP270AAHC 2700 mAh)
Rechargeable GP batteries are the most popular and common rechargeable batteries - thanks to the affordable price and wide range, both in terms of size and energy intensity. For example, GP270AAHC 2700 mAh is a bright representative of the GP product line. This is practically the maximum possible energy density today, but this does not interfere with fast charging of these batteries. However, remember that the specific capacity of a given battery suffers over time, but not fully charged. Main advantages:

At first everything was perfect. But whether due to non-native charging, or from improper operation, the charge fell by a third, moreover, if they stay idle, they will self-discharge. But in general, a clear savings on conventional batteries. |
Which rechargeable battery is better to buy?
The range of batteries is saturated and varied. In fact, it is difficult to find differences between two batteries from different manufacturers with the same technical parameters. The actual life and battery capacity are significantly affected by the operating conditions, proper use, correct use.Among the manufacturers not included in the rating, the products of Ansmann, Philips, Sanyo also deserve attention (since 2012 it has teamed up with Panasonic).
For example, if you want to use a flash, but put a battery of obviously small capacity, then you will quickly get disappointed both in the manufacturer and in the battery. Therefore, pay attention to recommendations on the applicability of a particular product.
Yes, and if someone reads that lithium-ion batteries are much better than nickel-metal hydride characteristics, it is worth remembering that, due to the nature of their charge, Li-ion batteries are never produced by anyone in standard AA and AAA sizes.
Have a nice shopping!
