Sanyo promises up to 500 times more charge cycles plus further extended shelf life.
Here's a quick comparison with the previous version:
-----------------------------------------------
The new Eneloop is now up to 1,500 charge cycles over 1000 cycles previously, which means 50% more!
HR 3UTG (its predecessor) / HR 3UTGA (the new Eneloop AA)
1000 charge cycles / 1500 charging cycles
85% residual capacity after 1 year of storage / 75% capacity after 3 years of storage
suitable for temperatures down to -10 ° C / suitable for temperatures down to -20 ° C
Show My personal experience has shown that the Eneloop batteries are extremely stress-stable and, moreover, have a slightly higher voltage than conventional batteries, which according to Ohm's law, U x I = P (voltage times current = power it actually comes to the same power output, but just much more stable and long-term.
Very good, I find the very high capacity specified by the manufacturer with a long shelf life that I though here after such a short time can not confirm.
Furthermore, it is as significant improvement, the extremely low storage temperature of minus 20 ° Celsius, for example, weather stations, another killer feature.
Both the long-standing previous version and the new have an actual power capacity of 2000mAh.
All in all, have to say that the Eneloop clearly distinguishes compared to other manufacturers and traditional batteries it already.
In my view, Eneloop batteries a real alternative to disposable batteries.
Recommended are naturally good charging devices with battery maintenance program where one can read also the state (voltage and capacity) of the batteries properly. My personal recommendation are chargers Voltcraft. (BC 900, etc.)
Measurement protocols for new Eneloop follow in the form of customer pictures soon!
