10-2025 ITTSB QC test and Review - IKEA LADDA NiMH AAA 750 mAh & AA 1900 mAh

[Kiriakos GR]

In the past two weeks, I did perform an technical investigation over the web in favor of the Japanese IKEA LADDA NiMH.

I did succeed to trace down the source of these Japanese batteries, and I did find facts and relative documentation at FDK Japan.
IKEA LADDA (IKEA Charge NiMH product series), this is actually latest Japanese production of batteries these manufactured by including a percentage of recycled material.


The use of recycled material at battery manufacturing this has tradeoffs, the Japanese its well known that they are masters at handling raw materials, and them to deliver a good quality product. 
Most known for centuries Japanese skill, this is mastering  the manufacturing of any of sort of metals, and the creation of alloy with special properties.
In a similar manner, they use today recycled material of Nickel metal, for the formation of Green batteries.

As hobbyist digital photographer since 2002,  I am using Semi Pro equipment from OLYMPUS Japan.
I am from the first ones whom adopted the use of Sanyo Eneloop, and I am familiar of their potentials.
June 2021, I did buy BK-3MCCE-BBE  1900mAh AA  pack of 8, so these to replace my older pack of Eneloop, which these lost their peak performance.

Nowadays I have developed a new curiosity, and this is to explore the Japanese production of Green batteries.
I am seeking a new experience, I wish to discover the limits of second best NiMH chemistry.
I am currently full of negative energy about the Chinese NiMH production, at 2025 90% of it this is plain trash.

Today 24/10/2025, I did order from IKEA central warehouse in Greece, an significant amount of LADDA NiMH AAA 750mAh & AA 1900 mAh.
Two months ago, I did begin the assembly of one mid-range computerized battery capacity tester.
My lab this is full of special and high precision measuring equipment, with this latest addition of precision battery capacity tester for very small loads, I feel now 100% ready to explore my new targets. 
IEC testing of 9V PP3, and of many more battery types.

Feel free to bookmark this article, so and you to have a chance to read relative  technical content, from some one who is not a hobbyist.
About me, I am loaded with enthusiasm, and other than batteries I did buy the only electrical gadget than I can relate with from IKEA.     
An USB LED lamp with a funny name ( JANSJO ) ( 702.912.32 ). 

Stay tuned, an interesting technological journey will start soon!
As I do expect a quantity of 32 AAA (750 mAh) batteries  ( 905.098.19 )
Plus the quantity of another 12 AA (1900 mAh) batteries. ( 005.098.14 )

Unfortunately the 2450 mAh, this is currently unavailable as WEB-BUY, and the nearest IKEA this is a very long away from my base. 
In the positive side of things, my AAA and AA batteries, they will be from freshest available stock at IKEA central warehouse in Greece.

Wow this is an oversized order 

So the new plan is having a fleet of Japanese NiMH

I will simply add the link, of Kiriakos detailed report for this Charge series.
