Obviously there are some who are lucky .................. and others less. The model that was delivered is the third generation in SANYO model (note that is what is stated in the description) and not the latest Panasonic. Well, it's not a drama, the Sanyo Eneloop have sufficiently good reputation to have no fear of their quality, but it's a shame to be delivered while the v3 v4 is available and quite Panasonic have received in the release. One star less for that. Just for making me vain dream. ;-)
