The chatter on slickdeals.net forums (yes, Someone on the Internet Told Me...) is that Ikea has switched to a lower-quality Chinese supplier, and theirs are not white-labeled Eneloop anymore.
- unwind 6y agoOkay, hadn't seen that (I'm not really that far into battery geekdom). That's kind of depressing, I thought it was a fun fact (or assumption, perhaps) about their batteries that made me a bit more happy to buy them. :) No way to tell country of origin from their web, and obviously I don't visit their stores all that often right now. I guess I will have to include some the next time we order stuff for safe pick-up and have a look at the packaging. :)
- dubyah 6y agoIkea used to sell two different versions of the Ladda battery. The brown versions with lower capacity / higher cycle life did switch from Japan to China, but they've discontinued those(or at least no longer stock them @ my local store) for some years now. The white Eneloop Pro comparable ones were and still are made in Japan.
