Simple salt and alkaline batteries have ceased to satisfy the consumer. They quickly fail and become unnecessary. Against this background, battery analogs, especially nickel-metal hydride( Ni-MH), favorably differ, which, in order to restore the capacity, it is enough to insert into the charger. Modern household electrical appliances are many - for the performance of each of them you can purchase any power sources, but still it will be more correct to buy the best ones.

The best foreign manufacturers of rechargeable batteries
PANASONIC
Panasonic Corporation is one of the world's leading manufacturers of construction machinery, household appliances and electronic products. The first steps, then the plant, were made in the distant 1918 with the initiative of businessman Konosuke Matsushita. The manufacturer from Japan produces batteries of different chemical composition and size, the most popular among them are AA( "finger") and AAA( "little finger") elements. But the special attention is deserved by the modern Ni-MH line Eneloop, consisting of the latest generation of drives with improved characteristics. The older models are also very popular.
Advantages:
- application of innovative technologies;
- low self-discharge - in some instances after 5 years of storage it can be only 30%;
- high capacity, in the majority of cases corresponding to the claimed;
- a significant number of recharge cycles - in Eneloop lite it is up to 3000 times;
- waterproof housing;
- wide assortment;
- attractive design.
Disadvantages:
- is relatively high, although adequate;
- modest appearance of standard elements.
The brand is regularly on the top positions by the number of sales. He enjoys steady popularity among consumers. There are no significant complaints. In addition, the high ecological culture is different - at the first charging, solar panels are often used, and the packages are made from recycled materials.
ENERGIZER
Energizer Holding is an internationally renowned US manufacturer of chemical power sources. It was created in 1886, after 10 years produced a battery Columbia - at the beginning of the XXI century, the market for products is more than 160 countries. In production there are all the elements of the basic sizes: 9-V( crown), D, C, AA, AAA.Depending on the appliance, climatic conditions and other factors, it is always possible to purchase storage tanks of the required capacity, operating temperature and the number of reloads. Moreover, batteries are available to buy both American and Japanese or Chinese production at a high and average price. Advantages:
- environmental friendliness - in popular Ni-MH models there is no mercury in the composition;
- low self-discharge and no leakage for a long time;
- wide range of operating temperatures - for the "finger element" Recharge Precision, with nickel-metal hydride, it is from -30 to +50 ° C;
- safety - when accumulating current, there were no explosions;
- availability of many models with a total capacity of 2000 mAh - with less electricity, a significant portion of the devices do not work;
- prolonged "holding" the charge regardless of the associated characteristics;
- large selection and modern design.
Disadvantages:
- is not the highest amount of recharge;
- part of the buyers "repels" a considerable amount.
Power sources are highly valued by consumers. Elements have all the indicators balanced - they are high, and without reference to the country in which the goods were manufactured.
DURACELL
Duracell - a famous trademark of batteries, which have been produced since 1930 in the American city of Bethel. The last owner of production is Berkshire Hathaway, which continues to invest in the development of the industry. The assortment of battery cells, unlike standard, non-narrow ones, produces the most popular sizes AA and AAA.Nevertheless, due to the use of Duralock technology, the drives are able to store the charge in the passive state for a long time, which advantageously differs from the analogues of other manufacturers. For 2017, the line of Turbo and Basic sources are relevant. Advantages:
- nickel-metal hydride batteries are already sold;
- energy conservation in non-operating condition - up to 1 year;
- the presence of "finger" models of high capacity - 2500 mAh;
- number of recharging cycles - up to 400 times;
- high performance - after disconnecting from the power supply they work 85% longer than standard drives;
- low self-discharge;
- the warranty period is from 3 to 5 years.
Disadvantages:
- limited assortment;
- characteristics of some instances do not match the ones claimed.
High-end power supplies - most users are happy. Although sometimes something is missing - then the capacity is lacking, then the number of cycles is not enough. But such censures are few.
The best Russian manufacturers of rechargeable batteries
COSMOS
Kosmos company specializes in the production of household electrical goods, including rechargeable batteries, has a high reputation, has awards and prizes. It has been in the Russian market since 1993, owns 35 factories( Russia and China), is known for its products in 12 countries - both the CIS and the EU.The buyer is offered nickel-metal hydride( Ni-MH) sources AAA, AA, V-9 under the same name and Kosmos Premium brand.
Advantages:
- many models with a large capacity - up to 2800 mAh;
- lack of "memory effect", as a consequence, you can recharge at any time;
- wide operating temperature range - from -20 to +50 ° C;
- a long "holding" of energy and low self-discharge;
- is a narrow but balanced assortment;
- nice appearance;
- low price.
Disadvantages:
- rapid decline in productivity;
- long charge.
Most users appreciate the elements. However, there are contradictory data - if some sources are durable and quickly charged, then some - on the contrary. In general, the drives are good, especially in terms of the "price / quality" ratio.
ENERGY
JSC Energia is a Lipetsk innovative enterprise with its own scientific base. Specializes in the development and production of autonomous power sources, which are used both in everyday life and the space industry, and are also sold to many countries - both near and far abroad. Since 2011, all conditions for the manufacture of lithium-ion polymer elements have been created. The most popular users use "finger" Ni-MH batteries for 2500 and 2700 mAh.
Advantages:
- declared power corresponds to real;
- high capacity, which is not actually reduced by up to 5 years;
- low self-discharge;
- high productivity;
- significant number of recharge cycles;
