Simple salt and alkaline batteries have ceased to satisfy the consumer. They quickly fail and become unnecessary. On their background, battery analogs compare favorably, especially nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH), which, in order to restore capacity, it is enough to insert into the charger. Modern household appliances set - for the health of each of them you can buy any power supply, but still it will be better to buy the best.

The best foreign manufacturers of rechargeable batteries
PANASONIC
Panasonic Corporation is one of the world leaders in building machines, household appliances and electronic goods. The first steps, then still a factory, made back in 1918 from the initiative of businessman Konosuke Matsushita. The manufacturer from Japan produces batteries of different chemical composition and size, the most popular among which are AA (finger-type) and AAA (little-finger) elements. But special attention deserves the modern Ni-MH Eneloop line, consisting of the latest generation of drives with improved performance. Earlier 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 most cases corresponding to the declared one;
- a significant number of recharge cycles - in the Eneloop lite it is up to 3000 times;
- waterproof case;
- wide range of;
- attractive design.
Disadvantages:
- relatively high, albeit an adequate price;
- modest appearance of regular elements.
The brand is regularly in top positions in the number of sales. It enjoys stable popularity among consumers. There are no significant complaints. In addition, a high ecological culture is characterized by production - solar panels are often used during the first charge, and the packages are made from recycled materials.
ENERGIZER
Holding Energizer - a world-famous manufacturer from the United States, which produces chemical current sources. It was created in 1886, after 10 years manufactured the Columbia battery - at the beginning of the XXI century, the sales market for products is more than 160 countries. In production are all the elements of the main sizes: 9-V (crown), D, C, AA, AAA. Depending on the appliance, climatic conditions and other factors, you can always buy storage devices of the required capacity, operating temperature and amount of recharge. Moreover, the batteries are available to buy both American and Japanese or Chinese-made 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 lack of leak for a long time;
- a wide range of operating temperatures — for Recharge Precision fingertip, with nickel metal hydride, ranging from 30 to +50 ° С;
- safety - when accumulating current no explosions were noted;
- the presence of many models with a total capacity of 2000 mA • h - with a smaller amount of electricity, a significant part of the devices does not work;
- prolonged “holding” of the charge regardless of the associated characteristics;
- large selection and modern design.
Disadvantages:
- not the highest amount of recharge;
- some buyers "pushes away" considerable cost.
Power sources are highly valued by consumers.The elements of all indicators are balanced - they are high, and without reference to the country in which the product was manufactured.
DURACELL
Duracell - the famous brand of batteries, which began to be produced in 1930 in the US city of Bethel. The last owner of the production is Berkshire Hathaway, which continues to invest in the development of the industry. The range of battery cells, as opposed to standard ones, is not wide - the most popular sizes are AA and AAA. Nevertheless, thanks to the use of Duralock technology, drives can keep charge in a passive state for a long time, which compares favorably with their counterparts from other manufacturers. For 2017, the actual line of sources Turbo and Basic.
Advantages:
- nickel-metal hydride batteries are already charged;
- non-operational energy conservation - up to 1 year;
- the presence of “finger” models of high capacity - 2500 mAh;
- the number of charge cycles - up to 400 times;
- high performance - after disconnecting from the power supply, they work 85% longer compared to standard drives;
- low self-discharge;
- The warranty period is from 3 to 5 years.
Disadvantages:
- limited range;
- characteristics of some copies do not coincide with the stated.
Upscale power supplies - most users are satisfied. Although sometimes something is missing - the capacity is not enough, the number of cycles is not enough. But there are few such complaints.

- the lack of a “memory effect”, as a result, can be recharged at any time;
- wide temperature range of operation - from 20 to +50 ° С;
- long “holding” of energy and low self-discharge;
- narrow but balanced assortment;
- nice appearance;
- low price.
Disadvantages:
- rapid decline in productivity;
- long recharging.
Most users rate items as positive. However, there are conflicting data - if some sources are durable and quickly charged, some are the opposite. In general, the drives are good, especially in terms of the price / quality ratio.
ENERGY
