Stunningly good price for these excellent rechargeables - probably the best around.
Money-saving and long-lasting, these rechargable NiMH eneloop batteries are ready to use out of the packet (pre-charged).
They can be charged up to 2100 times – saving you money and avoids the waste of 2,100 batteries. They also keep their charge - retaining 70% of their charge after 5 years.
These batteries are universally usable from digital cameras to MP3 players and remote controls. These ideal universal power supply for many household devices, even products that until now have run on alkaline batteries such as game consoles.
You no longer need “special batteries“ as eneloop is powerful enough to run all these applications without any problems.
Panasonic eneloop batteries were previously known as Sanyo eneloop. Panasonic bought the battery business from Sanyo and in future all eneloop batteries will be sold as Panasonic eneloop.
They can be recharged safely after partial discharge; so no worries about memory effect.
There’s also good performance at low temperatures down to -20C. (Battery life will be shorter than at room temperature)
With a higher usable capacity of up to 800mAh ( min 750mAh) than standard batteries and a higher voltage level, you will also beenefit*
Many applications switch off or show the low battery signal if the voltage is lower than 1.1V. A traditional Ni-MH battery will lose its voltage constantly and runs under this critical level very soon.
These eneloop batteries will keep the voltage level over 1.1V for a long time and only fall under that just before becoming empty. That's one reason why you can take more photos with eneloop.
These batteries are better for the environment as they are charged before sale using solar power.
Sanyo to Panasonic Name Change Information:
Launched in 2005 Eneloop is a brand developed by Sanyo. Following the acquisition of Sanyo by Panasonic in 2013, the fourth and latest generation of Eneloop was introduced in April that year. The packaging now states Panasonic instead of Sanyo on the label. The technological change is that the number of recharges was increased.
Specifications
Minimum capacity: 750 mAh
Voltage: 1.2 V
Life cycles: up to 2100 charges
Self-discharge: approx. 70% capacity after 5 years
Fujitsu purchased Sanyo's NimH battery business in 2009. Panasonic licensed the Eneloop brand from Sanyo, but Fujitsu manuifactures ALL Eneloop batteries. Some production has been moved to China but the perception is that Made in Japan cells are superior. In reality Eneloops made within Fujitsu's Japanese or Chinese plants are probably of equal quality.
All Pansonic beanded Eneloops and Fujitsu branded "Ready to Use" NimH are true "Eneloops". Amazon, Duracell and others have been known to sell rebranded Eneloops, but they do vary suppliers (not all are Eneloops). Eneloops and Fujitsu's are not the cheapest or highest-capacity NimH cells, but they are widely acknowledged as the best quality consumer rechargeable AA/AAA's that money can buy.
EDIT: I did a little research and found that in-testing, Chinese Eneloops are inferior to Japanese Eneloops. Best buy Fujitsu's (all are Japanese) or Eneloops made in Japan if you want them to last. See link below. Chinese vs Japanese Eneloop test
Never heard of these rechargeable batteries, will give these a try for lights under the sink, heat added

amazing battery's ive been using the AA for my xb1 controller for over a year and they are worth every penny.

Yeah good batteries.
Can you get a replacement if after 4 years they don't hold 70% :smile:

Possibly - but it might be easier just to stick them in the charger for a while. :smiley:

Do you need a eneloop charger for these
Newbold to focusdriver

No - you can use an ordinary charger.
But - these are extraordinarily good batteries (particularly at this price) and they deserve looking after so they last well. With that in mind I'd recommend something like this, or similar:
Thanks good deal can get rid of pound shop ones now which have actually been ok so these should be very good. just need a good deal on AA now I have loads of pound shop ones and 4 eneloops but they are always in use
If you spend that much might as well get an xtar charger so can do most batteries like 18650 for torches or vapes etc

Plus 2.52% TCB...I agree, really good batteries, use them in my headtorch and also my cordless landline handset, which usually kills other rechargeables quite quickly due to lots of partial recharging; the current ones are lasting well.
