THESE REALLY ARE ENELOOPS at a much cheaper price!
Anyone who who knows anything about rechargeable Low Self Discharge (LSD) batteries understands that Sanyo/Panasonic Eneloops are the best of the best in terms of quality, performance and longevity.
Well, Fujitso AA + AAA "Ready to Use" LSD batteries are re-branded Eneloops. The cells are identical, just the labels and pricing differ.
- Fujitso 750mAh AAA's and 1900mAh AA's are same as regular Eneloops.
- Fujitso 900mAh AAA's and 2450mAh AA's are same as Eneloop PRO's.
7DayShop have the following pricing for Fujitso "Eneloops".
*4 Pack Fujitsu Ready to Use AAA LR03 Ni-Mh Rechargeable Batteries 750mAh - £3.99 delivered
*Fujitsu AAA LR03 Ni-Mh Rechargeable Batteries 900mAh Ready to Use - *4 Pack - £4.49 delivered
*4 Pack Fujitsu "Ready to Use" AA LR6 Ni-Mh Rechargeable AA Batteries 1900mAh - £5.99 delivered
*Fujitsu Pre and Stay Charged AA (HR6 / MN1500) NiMh Rechargeable Batteries 2450mAh - 4 Pack - £7.49 delivered
For me, both sets of AAA's represent the best value. The 2450mAh AA's are also very well priced compared to identical Eneloop PRO's.

Just to add that candlepoweredforums and budgetlightforums run detailed analysis on these Fujitso batteries. Performance tests confirm they are identical to the latest Eneloops.

Wanna give us a link to this 'detailed analysis'. I'm still waiting for test evidence that Eneloops are any better than ordinary LSD batteries.
And trying the two sites you quote above gives a 'database' error and 'unavailable'!

Could be due to the fact that Sanyo were being taken over by Panasonic and gave/shared the designs/technology for the eneloop to Panasonic. But, to get agreement on the takeover, Panasonic were forced to sell Sanyo's battery business, and they sold it to Fujitsu. Bottom line is Eneloop, Fujitsu and the Panasonic Evolta are quite likely to be very similar now. Especially, as I understand it, they are all made in the Twicell factory, if made in Japan.

A nice touch is that Fujitso uses the same colour scheme as for Eneloops (standards = white, PRO's = black). As long as the colours are the same you can mix & match Fujitso/Eneloops without issue. Great if you already have some Eneloops within your collection and for family members who may not read the labels.

I find Candlepoweredforums the best source for battery info but is seems to be down for maintenance at the moment. BLF's testing of the 1900mAh & 2450mAh Fujitso's are linked below. Physical appearances and charge/discharge behavior are identical to their Eneloop cousins. Batteries are best in class for sustained high-drain use.
edit: Eneloops are widely regarded as the best LSD's because they have been around for a very long time and have by far the most proven track record. Other brands are now catching up, but a good reputation takes time to build. Fujitso own, manufacture and rebrand Eneloops.

..and here are the candlepoweredforum reviews taken from Google cached views if you cannot wait for the site to come back up.
Basically, the AA + AAA's share exactly the same traits as Eneloop batteries (because they are the same thing). The AA's can maintain >1.2V output with 2.0A loading and AAA's can maintain >1.2V with 1.0A loading. This makes them very high-end LSD batteries suitable for high+low drain applications. Other LSD's provide similar mAh ratings but few can handle such high draw or survive so many recharge cycles.
There really are Eneloops, just wearing a different wrapper and at 20-30% cheaper.
