It was not my first Eneloop batteries and not my last. So slowly I have all the equipment nit equipped this battery type. Be it toys for our son, the GPS or flashlights, watches. All courage AA or AAA Akus running at us from the Eneloop. Once loaded they last significantly longer than other batteries of the same capacity. The self-discharge of this battery is barely noticeable, even if lying around by four weeks after charging. From me a strong buy recommendation - other batteries no longer come into my house, even if they are slightly more expensive EIB.
