Rumor is the Ikea batteries are rebranded Eneloop I have good luck with them.


This website says that the IKEA brands are equivalent to the Eneloop Pro and Lite, but not the regular white ones:

(Scroll/search to "IKEA")


Seems like at least the AA size, model LADDA 2450mAh. You can check they're made in Japan. Not sure about the 1900 mAh, or the AAA size model, it might be a different brand.


All 3 are Eneloops, just not the same lines (the 2450's are pros). Also their Tjugo charger is one of those chargers that slowly pulse-charges each cell individually and checks the delta, it's a very overengineered and conservative charger design that won't roast the AAA's and AA's from them. Decent video of teardown of it, though the guy wasn't aware of this style of pulsed-charging and why it's done: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gG2clNRFz2k


I have a lot of those white ones, and they work great for years now. They're a steal.
