However, have 'normal' batteries the batery against a few drawbacks. Severe The self-discharge; after a few weeks batteries may be running low, even if they are not or hardly used. The voltage drops about half Rappide from (batteries bring quite to "the end" uniform power).
And then the actual performance and number of charge cycles: even with expensive chargers and brand AkkuZs are the statements made by the manufacturer (of course, nothing is guaranteed here!) Usually quite optimistic and rarely in practice to achieve.
But now the Sanyo Eneloop: to new materials and new production technology, the disadvantages (as described above) "ancient history" be. I can confirm: the eneloop are persevering as batteries and even after months in the cupboard (or in business / warehouse) still fully "in juice". After buying unpacked and directly from the device - with all (almost) full load was present. It actually seems to be no longer self-discharge!
And although the batteries previously used by us lt. Inferior package information, are the eneloop significantly more reliable and more powerful than the "old". Reloading problems (microprocessor controlled - whatever that even means) with 30 universal charger from Saturn.
For durability in everyday use I can still make a statement; the purchase is only a few months back and we had to 1x reloading (despite excessive use of TV / DVD / Mulimed.-FB).
I can absolutely recommend Sanyo eneloop - honest a product that lives up to what the manufacturer promises!
