I have a blink doorbell and an outside camera that take 2 if these batteries. I should probably buy this but won’t. I still have a smaller pack waiting that came from the mothership.
Sam’s club has an 18 pack for $34.98 which makes just under $2 per battery.
This is literally only one penny savings from the mother ship - it’s $26.00 for the sub-and save https://a.co/d/e5E6iDY
Yes. Sam’s Club has been the cheapest recently and since Energizer skyrocketed prices.
How many amp hours? How is it legal to sell batteries and not tell the buyer how much power is stored in them? That’s like selling gasoline in a container and not mentioning the volume.
And I assume these are not rechargeable? Another important point to mention.
Don’t tell anyone, but I use normal batteries in my Blink cameras and they work fine. No difference in the performance of the cameras and they last at least as long.
Amp Hours: Probably best to talk to Energizer as they don’t mention it on their page either.
I did find a data sheet you can browse. It might be there.
Rechargeable: These are single use. Rechargeable batteries are marketed as “Rechargeable”.
Someone’s got to pay for their excessive marketing
Project farm did a test and review on Alkaline and Lithium batteries a short while a ago. The review may be helpful…
In cold climates (like here where it’s single digits today) lithium batteries perform significantly better at those low temps than alkaline or NiMH.
absolutely this. i have several temperature gauges and other devices. i’ve had temps as low as -30 and they kept on going where the alkaline ones gave out in the single digits.
An 8-pk of AA is $10 on Amazon Fresh. Why is this so expensive?
I don’t think those are the Ultimate Lithium.
Much more details in their Lithium Iron battery handbook here (PDF link).
TL;DR:
AA capacity is 3600 mAh at a 100 mA constant drain to a 0.9 volt cutoff at room temperature.
Lithium-Iron generally has a higher capacity and much longer useful runtime than Alkaline or NiMH, with more consistent voltage output across a broader range of temperatures and current draws, and a much lower self-discharge rate sitting idle or in storage (losing only ~5% charge over 20 years).
That last bit is great not just for buying in bulk to save and store for later use, but also for stuff like remotes that only draw tiny and/or infrequent amounts of current.
I also use regular AA’s (bought in bulk) but they definitely don’t last as long in my experience, even in the hotter climate where I live.
I think the main reason Blink cameras recommend Li is due to the risk of the battery leaking especially in an outdoor setting. That could’ damage the whole thing.
This is not a sale price by any stretch of the imagination. Go to Amazon and buy the same product cheaper.
Come on Woot!, you used to be cool. Then you were just Amazon’s discount outlet. Now you’re selling Amazon stuff at the same price as Amazon but with slower shipping? You gotta up your discount game or there’s no longer any point to your existence.
Awwww, did that make you feel better?
Technically $27.99 > $25.99.
Do yourself a favor and get a rechargeable door cam. Mine was going three batteries every couple of weeks. Regular batteries would only last a few days. I got a rechargeable Google Nest doorbell camera and I recharge it when it needs it. The savings in batteries makes up for the price of the camera.
