Are Ikea's $7 Rechargeable Batteries Actually Pricey Eneloop Pro AAs in Disguise
voltronic:
I bought several packs of the 2450s last time I was at IKEA and can confirm they are high quality. I haven't used them in a recorder or preamp, but in an XBOX360 controller (for my RetroPie gaming setup) which sucks batteries like nobody's business.
Also, instead of the STORHÖGEN charger ($34.95), I bought two of the VINNINGE ($2.99). Very small and compact, and charges from any USB source. I'd never need to charge more than 4 AAs at a time anyway.

Just to be clear:
tan white Eneloop Pro (B&H)
AAA 500mAh 900mAh 950mAh ($13.39/4)
AA 1000mAh 2450mAh 2550mAh ($16.97/4)
($3.99/4) ($6.99/4)

All my Eneloop Pros are 2450. Purchased within the last year. :hmmm:

Yep, indeed they are. The 2,550 figure is prominently visible on Eneloop's packaging, with the words "up to (2550) mAh". A closer look on the batteries themselves reveals "min (2450) mAh". Pretty safe to say, I've bought my last set of Eneloops...

Same here. I have plenty of Eneloops that say 2450 on the battery. I have one set of Ikeas that also say 2450 and I’m pleased with the results in my Mix Pre 6 and PMD 706. A little over 5 hours with 24/48 2 channels.
