Long Storage Life eneloop batteries [Posted on 2008-03-05]
Sanyo eneloop Power Pack & charger
These Batteries are super long life rechargeable batteries. You can charge them and forget them. They come pre charged out of the box and make a excellent emergency battery. But we use them in out LED candles and our computer keyboard and mouse. Also Cameras that have high current loads . You get lots more pics for your battery life with these eneloop batteries.
DepotEco.com seems to have the best price on these as of today.
If you care about the environment then buy these batteries. They will require you to throw away less batteries in your life time as you get 1000 or more charges out of these eneloop batteries from Sanyo.
Choose your battery charger wisely [Posted on 2008-04-02]
This package offered here (Sanyo Eneloop Battery Charger w/ 8 AA & 4 AAA Batteries Plus 2 C & 2 D Size Adapter) is almost identical to another one under the same name (Sanyo Eneloop Battery Charger w/ 8 AA & 4 AAA Batteries Plus 2 C & 2 D Size Adapter). The only difference is the battery charger.
There are two versions of the Sanyo eneloop 4-cell charger available in the US (see my Customer Image on how to identify them). This package includes the MQN06. It forces you to charge cells in pairs (either 2 or 4), so it is very inconvenient if you have application that requires odd number of cells. Be careful not to charge a half-full cell in pair with an empty cell, because the first cell will end up over-charged, which is bad for its lifespan.
The MQN05 included in the other package is a slightly better charger, because it charges each cell individually. Unfortunately it only works with US voltage of 110V AC. So you must be careful not to use it in foreign countries with 220V AC.
If you need a compact travel charger that can do both (charges cells individually, and accepts universal voltage), I highly recommend either the KODAK 1-Hour Battery Charger K6200 or Duracell Mobile Charger CEF23DX4N.

I still recommend the Sanyo eneloop, but the present price of this package is completely out of line. So it is better to check out the Sanyo Eneloop Power Pack, which is available at a fraction of the cost. If you don't need the C- and D-cell adapters, consider buying the AA/AAA batteries and a better charger separately.

Eneloops are great batteries, but compare this price (including shipping) with your local warehouse stores. My local Cost*o sells this exact same kit for 26 dollars.
Finally, Rechargeable Batteries That Has Shelf Life Close to Alkalines [Posted on 2008-07-17]
The biggest drawback for Nickel Metal Hydride batteries is the shelf life. I got gadgets and toys all around the house, so I constantly charging batteries to have them ready when I need them. There will be very little juice left if you put them in the shelf unused for a couple of months. A waste of time and energy. Hence, one of the biggest advancement in battery technology is the arrival of the new low discharge Nickel Metal Hydride batteries. This is another great step in helping the environment. I have very few left of the old batteries since I started to replace all of them with low discharge batteries. Eneloops and Duracell are 2 of the best of its kind.
Pros:
-Low discharge.
-Fine quality product. Well constructed
-Conventional size and dimension. I had other batteries that I have to use a screwdriver to remove from my camera because it is fatter than other "AA's".
-Included "D" & "C" spacers are really useful.
-Regular charger included (You can also use your existing NiMh charger for these batteries)
Cons:
-More expensive than ordinary NiMh
-Not available at many stores
-Maxes at around 2000-2100 mAh
