I bought a bunch of eneloop pro, but using them in connected thermostats is always displaying “low battery” even after just fully charged. This is when I discovered that they are actually 1.2V
It really came as a surprise, is there a catch? Are they only good for low power stuff like remote controls?
Edit: it seems they do exist in lithium. Question remains why are the NiMH only 1.2v and why are they the most widespread?
A consumer advice study in the UK actually found Ansmann batteries to be the best by quite a bit, with Eneloops in second
Never heard of those or seen them for sale, and I’m in the UK
Not your fault, but doesn’t mean it’s incorrect. I used to work in procurement, so I keep up with this stuff.
The consumer organisation is which.co.uk, well worth the subscription price
Ansmann are so popular, you can’t buy them from Amazon or they’ll be fakes. Stick to places like cpc.co.uk
