From the Manufacturer
With normal rechargeable batteries it made sense to charge them just before you wanted to use them. Otherwise, there was too much risk that the battery would not provide full power when needed due to degradation of stored power. Therefore there was a checkpoint on every vacation checklist: Charge batteries. Then the endless wait until the batteries are finally charged...even the most advanced and most expensive chargers typically take at least 15 minutes. This can be very long 15 minutes, if the taxi is waiting at the door.

Now you can forget all this. Charge the eneloop, whenever you have time for it and store them. The extremely low self-discharge of eneloop batteries saves you from all the charging stress.

When you use eneloop in your houshold equipment, spend some extra money and purchase a set of spare eneloops. Keep these spare eneloops stored in a charged state and you will always have fresh batteries at hand whenever you need them!

More Features Than Typical Ni-MH Batteries

The main advantages of Ni-MH rechargeable batteries exist also in the eneloop:

• Approximately 4 time more shots than with alkaline batteries
• High performance even at low temperatures (down to -5 °C) during your winter vacation
• Rechargeable and therefore cheaper on the long run

Given these advantages, there are however also some disadvantages to typical Ni-MH batteries which made consumers reluctant to exchange their disposable batteries for rechargeables:

• After purchase, rechargeable batteries have to be charged before they can be used.
• Rechargeable batteries lose stored energy quickly
• Continous/frequent charging ( without conplete discharge ) can destroy the battery
• The charging process can take a long time and rapid chargers are expensive

All these negative attributes have one root-cause: self-discharge. Self-discharge means that a charged battery slowly discharges itself without any equipment consuming any current. This is the reason for rechargeable batteries being sold in a discharged state. And this is the reason that keeping charged batteries for some time did not make any sense--When you needed then, the energy was gone.

Immediate Use Like a Disposable Battery

Because the eneloop has a very low self-discharge, Sanyo can ship the batteries to retailers in a charged state. This means the consumer purchases a charged battery, which can be used immediately. The eneloop is therefore as user-friendly as any disposable battery.

Customer Reviews

Meets expectation
The product is working well and hope it will save us down time and always running out of batteries.

Great little Battery for a digital camera.
I just had a chance to use these batteries today and am impressed that you can use them right out of the box (Pre charged). I'm sure that they will last a while. Be sure to buy a quality charger as well. I would recommend the La Crosse BC-900. The La Crosse has multiple current settings so that you will not burn out your reusable batteries over a short period of time.

Very Good
This product is very good and worth every penny. Buy it and you won't be sorry. I am very pleased and will buy more batteries in the future.
