Rechargeable batteries for flashguns

[Paul Iddon]

Batteries for flash guns - Panasonic Eneloop Pro or alternative brands?

What are your opinions on or what do you you for your flash guns (mines a twin flash) to get good life out them?

Paul.

This has been covered a lot in here, I've tried eneloops, ikea, Panasonic, amazon, powerowl and the power owl are very good and reasonably priced, last as long as the eneloops in my twin flash.

Just looked at Powerowl, and they look just like an Eneloop with different outer shell...

Ikea's are Eneloops

The Ikea Ladda 2450 AAs are by all accounts made in the same Fujitsu factory in Japan as Eneloop Pro, and have essentially identical performance:

IKEA Ladda out-performed Panasonic & Powerowl in my trailcam.

Eneloop Pro every time - with a Nitecore charger.

I've tried copies that are 'allegedly' the same and they've failed. For the sake of a couple of quid you may save, it's just not worth skimping IMO.

The cheapest Eneloop Pros I can find are more than double the price of these Ikea batteries. Personally, I'd buy any low self-discharge rechargeables of similar capacity with a 'made in Japan' label. There is apparently only one factory in the country that makes these things. Panasonic bought the brand, but not the production line. Most of mine are Fujitsu-branded (the company that owns the factory).

I've ordered a 4 pack of the eneloop to try.

Thanks for all your input guys.

Paul.

The Powerowls seem to have quality control issues..
