china made battery chargers and rechargeable batteries

[jg2003]

anyone here using those cheap china-made batteries? I bought one kanina mura kasi for just P100 (charger with 4pcs AA NiMh batteries na). Di ba delikadong gamitin yung mga ganitong batteries and charger? I tried the recharged batteries and its working naman. Baka kasi mag-explode na lang bigla yung mga batteries while charging.

thanks!

pag magaan nabili peke yan... try to weight a sanyo original 2000mA and a china made one

sa battery malamang hindi tama ung mga nakalagay na mha. ung charger naman ok, ung akin gamit ko pa nung nag tamiya ako mga 7 years ago. haggang ngayon hindi pa ko nasisiraan ng battery. actually ung battery ko 7 years old na rin. hehehe

OT ng konti... how about yung flashlight sa TV Shopping na walang battery (you just shake then may power na). Mukhang sulit kasi sya for Php1500.

piece of junk... the selling price should be much less than P500 for those "shake-lights" or faraday-effect-flashlights. In fact it should be around P150 - P200 retail. Those shake-lights might seem to be handy but the light is not that strong and you would be better off with those LED flashlights powered by regular batteries. Those can give a lot of light power.

I agree. I bought two Eveready Hardcase LED flashlights for the house and for my van. They run on 2 penlight batteries and reportedly last 50 hours before the battery gets drained. If this claim is even marginally true, it would be useful for when your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and you need a long-lasting source of light to help you with your repairs. Eveready also claims the flashlight is water resistant.

Here's a photo of the hardcase (first from the top) compared in size with a GE flashlight with regular incandescent bulb, a Surefire E-2E, and a Photon Microlight II.



P.S.

Baka pwede i-split ng mga mods ang thread na ito na tungkol sa mga flashlight lang

Do you have a beamshot of the energizer hardcase? compared to the surefire. Thanks.

price is only 150

i have seen that shaky thing sa taiwan.. actually may 3 flat battery look alike ng Cr2032 rechargeable type lng.. para may standby power..
also a dual purpose a flash light and and CP charger, thats a flywheel type... kinakalabit pra magcharge

eto ata yung for a 5 minute light, you need to shake it for 30 minutes....

^not that useful..pero pwede na if you're in a pinch..hirap gamitin coz you have to shake n shake n shake everytime hehe

china made chargies are ok naman, batteries lang ang medyo sablay

[afrasay]

medyo OT pero nasa battery pa din - Yesterday I bought a replacement battery for my Siemens M65, Kingcom ang brand niya. Any feedback on these batteries? 980 php each siya. yun orig siemens 2 thou na and you could only buy it sa mobile asia jolibee bldg beside robinsons galeria which is the exclusive siemens-benq distributor. turn out yun oirg bat ko may bulge niya ang nag off for no apparent reason.

otep and johnqpublic take note...hehehe

[BlueBimmer]

in my experience, bulok ang Kingcom, got a brandnew 7250 battery for my mom's fon, walanghiya ang bilis magdrain :mad:

[afrasay]

here i go again...nagtanung after bumili nag product...hehehe anyway thanks. subok lang mag feedback ako kung ok a hindi.

dami nyan china made, mas mura pa nga sa 150 if wholesale. pero reliability is ???

when i was doing my thesis a year and a half ago, i needed four 5V supplies. At that time i decided to use yung mga cheap china made na chargers para hindi na ako bubuo ng circuit, tutal minor role lang naman siya. Since ang thesis ko non is digital, dapat malinis lahat ng signals. Nagtataka ako bakit hindi maayos gumana yung design ko, so i decided to check yung cheap chargers sa oscilloscope, nung nakita ko yung output waveform, parang di manlang nakafilter, mistulang pulse ang lumalabas. Ang pulsing na ito ay nagcacause para madaling masira o para bumilis ang battery life ng baterya nyo. After that incident, inaadvise ko na lahat ng kakilala ko na hwag gumamit ng replacement kung ang presyo nito ay "too good to be true" . Sisirain lang nyan ang telepono niyo

OT: You may be asking too much from a battery charger ... a charger is not the same as a DC power supply. A DC supply aims to have an output, as close as possible, like a straight DC line. An average battery charger on the other hand, has little filtering - hence, the waveform you saw. The additon of a voltage regulator chip and filter caps to your charger should've converted it to a decent DC power supply

Going back to Chinese-made batteries: I've seen some rechargeables and they're cheaper than alkalines sold here in the UK, so I bought loads of them for the kids' toys, remotes, radios, etc. I can't tell if they last as long as they should, but I've got a lot so I don't worry.

masakit sa mata ang ENERGIZER hard case.. it uses LED, nakakasilaw talaga masakit sa mata...

i have one of thoseENERGIZER HARDCASE and uses rechargeable batteries... since FEB till now di pa nalolowbat..

[ILuvDetailing]

Pag LED puti yan. Kita ko yan kanina sa DIY-shop price ranges from 480+/- to 850+/-. I ended up buying a everyready flashlight (batteries included) for 260 pesos which isn't bad.

jackolites tawag dun. Had that before, bought it for 100 petot, pero binigay ko na sa pamangkin ko ang hina ng ilaw.

[OTEP]

OT: Yung AC Delco na jackolite lang ang nakita kong medyo maliwanag. Yung mga benta sa 168, malapit na ko magka-kalyo ang hina pa din!

Afrasay,
Ok pa naman ata batt ko. hehehe. Sana tumagal pa [at least until a new all terrain phone comes to town]

[jim]

i use GP on my toys and gadgets pero di yata china made yun singapore ata. pero sa headlamp ko energizer kasi pag umaakyat ako ng bundok subok ko na sya. yung mga remote ko sa tv, stereo at aircon sa bahay ayun china made batteries. ayos naman tumatagal.
