SanyoEneloop AAA 4 Pack Batteries

Simply the best example I've had of rechargable batteries, come with charge like normal batteries, and keep the charge when not used unlike normal rechargables, I've used these in a digi camera to take lots of pics & videos (something which would quickly run down the energizer rechargables I used to use) and have not even had to charge them yet, fantastic, plus when I picked the cam up again 2 weeks later, still the same charge indication it was turned off with (where the energizers would have been half that with no use!)I will not buy anything other than eneloop from now on.

I've been using this product for three years now, and it still works just like when it was brand new out of the box.These batteries come pre-charged, so you can take them out of the packaging and stick inside your electronic device and use it, just like you would with a non-rechargeable alkaline battery from the supermarket.When you're done using the charge, you can place them in a suitable battery charger that charges Ni-Mh batteries, and it will take as long as your charger requires to make them useable again.The good thing that set these apart from other brands I've used is that they don't start losing capacity after recharging a few times. I felt that they held their capacity well over time, which is great, because then you don't have to throw what seems to be good batteries away and buy them again.I use these models in a variety of things, such as a milk frother for making cappuccino, digital photo camera, voice recorder, Xbox 360 controller, Wii controller, digital clock, portable iPod speakers, portable beard trimmer, and other electronics I have. All the devices I used with these have worked just like they did with alkaline batteries that I buy from the grocery store.I charge them in a super-fast 15-min charger that heats them up due to the quickness in which it charges the batteries, and the eneloops still work perfectly. It's not healthy to overheat batteries, but the eneloops cope well with my fast charger.I never buy other brands anymore, I found that paying a little bit extra saved me money in a period of 12 months, whereas with other cheaper rechargeable batteries I always had issues about them losing capacity after three or four charges, these ones never do, and they also hold charge over time. I tested them for a long time and I can attest to their superior quality.Please do yourself a favour if you're looking for good rechargeable batteries, and buy these, because you deserve not having to deal with dying cameras in the middle of a party because of shoddy batteries.

I am a fan of the Sanyo Eneloop series of rechargeable batteries which mark themselves out from some other rechargeable cells by being close to fully charged on delivery and retaining their charge for much longer that conventional rechargeable batteries. I use the term "mark themselves out from some other rechargeable cells" because although Eneloops were amongst the first a number of other brands have launched rechargeables with similar attributes.These AAA cells are the smallest in the Eneloop series but show considerable longevity and resilience - I use them in sensors for my weather station and a trail camera - unlike a lot of alkaline cells, in cold weather these Eneloop cells keep going (according to Sanyo down to minus 20C). They have an output of 1.2V @ 800 mAh which is enough for most uses but check the voltage and current drain of your intended application. You can now buy an Eneloop XX version of these cells which output a heftier 950 mAh if you need an extra bit of punch.Another advantage of these cells is that they can be recharged many times before their performance begins to deteriorate noticeably. The quoted number of cycles for these particular cells is up to 1800 times, although, I suspect long before that you'll find they hold their charge less and less. I've recharged mine about 40 times so far without obvious deterioration. They're quoted as recharging to 70% of their original capacity after 5 years.You may want to think carefully about your choice of charger - there are a range of Eneloop chargers or plenty of others too that may be more versatile. The general rule being the slower the charge the longer the cells will last in terms of the number of recharge cycles.Finally, for those that are brand conscious, a recent development has been that Sanyo who originally owned the Eneloop name are now part of the Panasonic Group.In summary, these are good quality rechargeable cells which retain their charge for a long time, are resilient to low temperatures and can be recharged many times over. Recommended.

not bad....not phenomenal as some people claim - well not for me anyway. I was expecting quite a lot more from these given the reviews, but they don't appear to hold their charge any better than standard 7 day shop batteries. I use the batteries for every day things - TV remotes, baby monitors, kids toys etc.
