Cheap batteries from FixPrice

  • Dec 24, 2019

I spoke at last week's test results of the batteries of the shops Auchan and Inverness (ammo1.livejournal.com/1016956.html). Today talk about alkaline (alkaline) batteries FLARX of FixPrice, which are more expensive than on the ruble - 12.5 rubles per share.


In Fiksprayse sold as alkali (alkaline, alkaline) batteries for 50 rubles per Chetri pieces and salt batteries for 55 rubles per 10 pieces.

Manganese batteries to buy, I do not recommend even in those applications where consumption is very small (eg remote control), alkaline batteries can run for up to 10 years, and salt only two or three years and it's not in the battery capacity, and shelf life - alkaline batteries are stored up to ten years, and salt only to two years. Besides salt batteries have a much higher likelihood of leakage.

Surprisingly, alkaline batteries FLARX AA and AAA different manufacturers: AA produces Ningbo B & B, and AAA - Hua Bei.


I tested the battery with the help of Battery Analyzer Oleg Artamonov.


The batteries were discharged in two modes:

• Discharging constant current of 200 mA. This load is typical for electronic toys;
• The discharge pulses (10 seconds load, 20 sec pause) the battery 2500 mA, and 1000 mA AA to AAA. This load is typical for high-power devices.

Measurement made with the battery discharge to a voltage of 0.7 V.

With constant discharge current of 200 mA AA battery issued 2.22 Wh AAA battery - 0.94 Wh. The results are almost the same as that of the battery of the Auchan / attacks.


When discharging large current AA battery could give 0.5 Wh. This is slightly better than that of the batteries of the Auchan / attacks.


When discharging large current AAA battery could give 0.4 Wh. This is worse than that of the batteries of the Auchan / attacks.


Let me remind you, I was doing in 2014 Grandiose testing batteries wherein the tested batteries 255 (AA batteries 58 species and 35 types of AAA). AA alkaline batteries at 200 mA discharge current allowed from 1.72 to 2.97 Wh at 2500 mA discharge current from 0.72 to 1.15 Wh.

FLARX AA batteries would have settled at the bottom of the table, but at a discharge current of 200 mA to a few ahead significantly more expensive batteries Sony, Panasonic and Philips. Here is a chart of the greatest test.


But when a large current FLARX AA batteries discharge would have been worse than most.

FLARX AAA batteries proved to be in the middle of the table, ahead of Duracell, Energizer, Panasonic and other expensive batteries. The diagram also of the greatest test.


At that time I did not spend the test pulses AAA batteries 1000mA, and discharged their current of 1000 mA in "constant Impedance" (current is then decreased as the discharge). Such a discharge more gentle and the comparison is not very correct, but apparently in this FLARX AAA battery mode would have been in the bottom of the results table.

FLARX AA alkaline batteries from FixPrice stores are ideal for remote controls, clocks, toys and any other devices with small and medium consumption. Their capacity at the discharge current average is only 25% less expensive alkaline batteries and is the same as many others, standing twice as expensive. But they are not suitable for powering devices with high consumption (flashes, cameras).

AAA alkaline batteries FLARX also great trips for devices with small and medium consumption and supply of energy is only 18% less expensive alkaline AAA batteries. In a large consumption of their devices can also be used, but their life span is two times less expensive than the batteries.

P.S. Lexmann bought batteries in Leroy Merlin (25 rubles for 4 pieces of AA and 61 rubles for 4 pcs AAA) and two more species batteries in Auchan ( "Every Day" - 51 rubles per 4 pcs AAA and ring in colored plastic box - 129 rubles for 10 pieces). Soon I talk about them, as well as a battery of the same name Vkusvill stores. Completed my cycle batteries of tests comparing the cheapest AAA batteries with average and expensive.
