I am saying that today alkaline will leak regardless of who made them unlike years ago. So I think it has to do with some kind of goverment regulation requires them to use a formula that is more likely to leak. |

Not all of the Ikea chargers were as good as each other when I recently checked, so you have to look at what model in what specific country. Some of them were also only suitable for low current devices. |

The fact you keep exerting that narrative doesn't help you any. I won't be using EBL NiMH ever either, some not so positive reviews of large capacity losses which can be as bad as 15% after a few charges and 50% after a year. As well EBL lithium's having different capacities and outright failures (doesn't inspire confidence). Their 9V isn't a 9V except in name, it's basically a 7.5V battery according to their own discharge curve and as these are often over exaggerated I'll take that with a grain of salt. No idea if it's just rebranded crap. They say on their page the brands registered in the UK, however that company also comes back as a chinese company. So seems a bit chicken or egg or chicken poop to me. Edit: Your mileage may be totally different on the ones you got. I'm just saying it has the hallmark of chinese rubbish already. I'd do a charge/discharge cycle about 30 times and check before vs after discharge capacity between each battery. In other words establish a trend, and if you see a significant change or outliers blame it on the formula and government (just kidding, return them of course). |

The little one is rated at 1A and specifically says it's designed for continuous use. Edit: I should mention they're cheap! Only 3 Euros for the small one and 8 Euros for the three port version. |
