    Best value in Rechargeable
    What follows is my completely unscientific evaluation of Eneloop batteries, which I have been using for years. I use rechargeable AA and AAA batteries is my photographic equipment, both LED and flash, and in household items like flameless candles and LED lighting, such as Christmas string lights. I have used Eneloop, both these white and the Pro version in black, Amazon Basics and loads of off brand rechargeables. When it comes to longevity, power and price, these Eneloop whites are the Best value. I did a test with flameless candles using these, the Pro Eneloop and Amazon's own brand, all fully charged and the Amazon died first, weeks before either Eneloop. While the black Pro did outlast these white Eneloop, it was not by enough to pay so much extra for them. Over the years my Eneloop batteries have outlasted every other brand. I am still using and recharging every set, while other brands have ended up in the trash. The second unscientific test I've done is just comparing them in a flameless candle to Alkaline batteries. In flameless candles Alkaline are usually known for producing more power and a much brighter light. Side by side in my photograph and in real life, these fully charged Eneloop are producing as much power to the LED in these flameless candles as the Alkaline battery. No Alkaline battery is going to last for years and the Eneloop may cost more initially, but years from now you'll still be using them.

    I have been using Eneloop NiMH AA and AAA batteries for several years. They are powerful enough for devices like TV remotes, they charge quickly, and they can be recharged many times. The ones I bought years back are still working fine. You may have to swap them in a remote more often that you would replace single use batteries, but that is well worth the savings in battery cost. One recharged they stay charged in storage for a long time so it is easy to always have charged batteries on hand. So far I have not had a single Eneloop battery fail. I recommend these.

    I've had these Eneloop AAA batteries for a while now, they have gone through numerous cycles. I like to have plenty on hand as there are so many devices that need batteries and these rechargeable ones are the best I've found. I had issues with others in the past not lasting very long but these Panasonic Eneloop are really great, long lasting between charges and long lasting as in they have gone through many recharges and hold their charge well. I have them in all my remotes, and any other device that requires batteries. I usually go through the free batteries that come with a device, then switch to these Eneloops. I can't say enough about them, they have saved me a LOT of money. I used to by disposable batteries from the Big Box retailers in bulk, like 20 or 30 in a card. By the time I had used half of them some of the batteries would just leak and go bad. These re-chargeable have saved me a small fortune and they are MUCH better for the environment. All these batteries usually wind up on landfills, billions of batteries, even if you don't give these to a re-cycler, they won't fill up the land fill as fast with dirty chemicals.
    These are cheap for the amount of times you can re-charge them. A great value

They don't have the longest charge, but they have better durability than some of the more expensive types. I usually get a few of both types for use in varied tech.

    Size: 8 Count (Pack of 1)Style: BatteriesVerified Purchase
    [this review is for the AAA 8 pack, although much of the information applies to other Eneloops.]

    The batteries arrived packaged on a card as shown in the photo on this page. I confirmed these are the latest 4th generation Eneloop batteries as advertised. The date of manufacture is imprinted on every battery, and although difficult to see, I found this set was made 5 months prior to receipt.

    With any low self discharge battery (LSD NiMH), one should perform an initial and periodic "conditioning" comprised of charging and discharging the cell 3-5 times in a charger that has this function (sometimes called "refresh") in order for the cells reach their maximum energy storage capacity. After conditioning the AAA batteries, all 8 exceeded 750mAh capacity (the advertised minimum), with values ranging from 762mAh to 778mAh. The very narrow range is an indicator of high quality and consistency in the manufacturing process.

    What follows are general recommendations to get the most from Eneloop and other LSD NiMH rechargeables....
    Get a good quality charger if you use Eneloops or other LSD NiMH batteries. Cheap chargers will significantly shorten the life of these high quality and somewhat expensive rechargeable batteries. The charger must be a microprocessor controlled "smart" charger that chargers each battery individually, not in pairs. I use a Titanium "smart fast" charger when bulk charging many batteries, and a Opus BT-C2000 when trying to get accurate measurements on capacity and internal resistance. These are there several others good quality chargers out there so be sure to read reviews from people who understand and discuss the technical aspects of battery chargers. That 15 year old old battery charger you have that came packaged along with some long since thrown away rechargeable batteries should not be used.

    Not all devices are designed to work with rechargeable batteries. The nominal voltage of rechargable NiMH batteries, 1.2 volts, is less than the alkaline equivalent at 1.5 volts. Some devices work well with either one and some are only designed for the higher voltage alkaline. This not a problem with the battery, it is a problem with the way the device is designed. Unfortunately it's rare for a device manufacturer to mention how (or if) it works with rechargeable batteries so you will have to test it or read the experiences of others.

    Devices that display the amount of power left in a battery will be inaccurate when using rechargeables and tend to indicate the batteries have less power than they really do. A device may show 2 out of 4 bars, when in fact the Eneloop might really be at 85% of charge.

    Rechargeable batteries like Eneloops (LSD NiMH), store 20-35% less energy than a good quality alkaline of the same size. This is not a "problem" with the rechargeable battery, it is a characteristic of the chemistry and how the energy is stored. That means you can not expect them to last as long between charges as an alkaline before replacement in most applications. LSD NiMH batteries however do hold more energy and last longer than carbon zinc batteries aka "heavy duty" (these are the really cheap batteries you may see at the dollar store or come prepackaged with low end flashlights).

    Rechargeable batteries should not be *over* discharged as it will damage them. Unfortunately it's hard to tell exactly when the ideal time is to recharge so it's better to stay on the safe side and recharge early when device performance starts degrading and not wait until it's completely dead. The best way to tell for certain is to test with a battery tester that measures voltage under load and recharge when the battery gets to about 1.1 volts Even some cheap battery testers can do this (look for BT-168D) or for a more expensive one the ZTS mini 9R. If all you have is a voltmeter, recharge when the open circuit voltage at rest is about 1.22v.

    Rechargeable batteries should not be charged too quickly as the internal heat build up will damage them. For AAA NiMH, it should take 2-5 hours to charge fully depleted batteries. If your charger goes from empty to full in 30 minutes, it is either damaging or under charging the batteries.

    Devices that automatically charge the batteries, such as cordless phones or cheap solar lights, are not a good candidate for Eneloops. These devices use "dumb" charging circuits and will likely overcharge the batteries shortening their life. For these types of batteries you are better off with cheap NiMH batteries that are not marketed as low self discharge (LSD).

    Devices that use a very small amount of constant power, such as a battery powered clock, might be better off with an alkaline. An alkaline may only need to be replaced every 3 years in such applications, where as the rechargeable may need charging in less than a year due to higher self discharge rate and lower nominal voltage. You will need to test it to be sure and decide what makes the most sense.

    Infrequently used low power devices such as a TV remote in a spare bedroom are usually better off with alkalines. A high quality alkaline may last 5 or more years, and the cost/benefit of an LSD NiMH just isn't there. Be cautious of low quality batteries this these sorts of applications as the battery may leak after a couple of years.

    Eneloops (and LSD NiMH in general) are better than alkalines in high current applications. An Eneloop can move energy faster to the device than an alkaline. Examples where LSD NiMh out perform alkalines are modern photographic flashes, remote controlled cars/planes, certain high output flashlights.

    Marking your batteries is a good idea, especially with you have many purchased at different times that all look the same. I mark mine by putting the year/month I purchased them, followed by a unique letter. When I first get them, I test their capacity and log it for future comparison. Even if you don't have the equipment to perform extensive testing, just knowing when you purchased each battery can be helpful down the road.

    Properly managed, high quality LSD NiMH batteries like Eneloops will give a long life. Abused, they will not do any better than cheap NiMH batteries. Most of the complaints and bad reviews are from people who do not understand the limitations, use them in the wrong application, or who do not properly charge them. Correctly using rechargeable batteries takes some work and isn't for everyone, but if you can deal with their idiosyncrasies, they can save a lot of money in the long run.

    I've used several brands of rechargeable batteries and chargers. These consistently worked in all my chargers, hold a charge well, last a long time once charged, and continue to recharge well with no noticeable decline in how long they last in use. I have found no other battery that can do all these things as well as eneloop batteries. I think they cost a little more than some other brands but in this instance you get what you pay for. As I have needed more rechargeable batteries I always try to buy this brand.

    Panasonic Eneloop (Formerly Sanyo Eneloop) have been quality batteries for over a decade. The first set I ever purchased in 2008 for my digital camera is still going strong. That’s over 15 years of use for the original set of AA Sanyo Eneloop Batteries and I only recall one battery of 16 or so reaching the end of its life in that time. I bought a bunch more for home use and am still impressed. The important thing to know is that you want to use Sanyo/Panasonic brand chargers for these batteries to ensure the full life. I have multiple chargers now and am impressed by all of them (one type even allows you to use it to fast charge and as a battery pack to charge your phone etc with the AAA or AA Eneloop batteries) all of their chargers to my knowledge also allow for AA and AAA charging. Quality Products at a reasonable price especially given their life span.

    Made in Japan, holds their charge well and pretty solid outer shell. Perfect for kids toys, remotes, definitely most reliable rechargeable batteries we use! I think they are shipped outside of canada so it does take a while to arrive but worth the wait esp for the price.

    Llevo unos 6 años usando esta marca, el cargador funciona genial y las pilas nunca me han decepcionado. Aún las que ya tiene estos años, no he notado una degradación, supongo que ya la tienen pero no la he percibido.
    Mi uso principal sin un mouse y teclado, control remoto y los juguetes de mis pequeños

    Las baterías son excelentes tienen muy buen desempeño, no son chinas son japonesas (sin ofender pero la calidad entre uno y otro es notoria) y la presentación en cajita (sin blister de plástico ni cartón estorboso poco ecológicos) es muy práctica.
