Hi, everybody.
I need some AA and AAA rechargeable batteries for flashes and general appliances for the home. Already have some Eneloops and they are great, but get them on a trip. Here in Brazil I can't get them from Amazon / B&H and such (with import and other taxes, the price increases 100% or more); hence I have to get them from eBay, Aliexpress, Bangood and such.
Getting Eneloops from these sites, AFAIK, is almost guaranteed to get fakes ones. Then, I wonder if some of you had tried some other chinese brands from these sites; do not expect Eneloop performance, but ones with good endurance and being reliable. @Vitaliy_Kiselev and other, do you have any recommendations?
(and no, Ikea ones are not an option too - Ikea don't have stores here).
Thanks in advance.

Recomand you this forum and change everything on 18650. Latest flashlight s are lightyears ahead compared to 10 yers ago although the good one's are not cheap... It's one of technologies that advanced the most in the last year's.
@garroulus Yeah, I'm aware of the 18650 batteries - but my need now is AA and AAA.
We have very good topic http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/19111/what-actually-sets-eneloop-apart/p1
On Ali it is usually PKcell, but I strongly recommend original.
@Vitaliy_Kiselev, yeah, if I could find a reliable seller on chinese sites to buy Eneloops, I'd go with them.
Any PKcell reliable seller that you know?

Are you sure that you don't have IKEA option?
@Vitaliy_Kiselev, great, thanks a lot!
Well, PKCell only sends batteries to Brazil using DHL - to send 8 AA batteries the cost is around US$110. :/
Will keep searching...
Look for original Eneloops locally or local brands.
For such comparison like stuff I posted link to topic
