After I Sanyo faithful of the first generation with its eneloop batteries, I have been able to find here on Amazon with the 3rd generation eneloop. The price of under 20 listen for 8 batteries with hard cover and prime delivery was fine. - Ordered, delivered, unpacked -. The first pleasant surprise was that the batteries were packed in two Verkaufsblistern four batteries (in the first and second generation of eneloops the batteries were sent only to the hardcover and without packaging), and in addition were in the promised two parcels in hardcover.
First test as a test in my external Metz flash unit. 50 photos with the flash over the first and second generation eneloop (there were about 350 flash pictures). In addition, the batteries will now hold 1800 charge cycles, instead of 1000 cycles of the first and 1500 cycles of the second generation. Please pay attention to the description of the battery designation 3rd Generation: HR 3UTGB Batteries are used as top !!! I think even more reliable operating times. Recommended without limitation :)
