The undisputed class leader

Normally my reviews are longer and more detailed, because there is yet to find fault in the products here and there. For NiMH cells from Sanyo, which are sold under the brand name Eneloop that is different, therefore the "Management Summary":

- I use Eneloops in continuous use in Nikon SB-600 Speedlight for Nikon digital SLR cameras, the Garmin Navi (Oregon 300, the predecessor of the Garmin Handheld GPS Oregon 450, 5.8 x 11.4 x 3.5 cm), in my Radlstecklicht (Sigma LED torch POWERLED Power LED BLACK), the CatEye Taillight (TL-LD 1000 detached from the Cateye LED Rear Light TL-LD630), firmly soldered in battery shaver and mittlererweile even in remote controls - without any problems, so any problems that you almost forget that it is rechargeable.

- The cells come pre-charged, are already ready.

- The advertised self-discharge of a few percent per year - as opposed to the promise of many other manufacturers - no joke. That's true actually.

- The printed 2000mAh AA version (Mignon, HR 3UTG 1.2V) as well as the 800mAh in the AAA version (Micro, HR 4UTG 1.2V) are observed in every Akribischte - unlike the totally utopian values ​​of some competitors, the buckle after only a few cycles: My Mössinger computer loader type AV4m (similar battery trainer AV4m Charger with LCD display and Entladfunktion) attests variations in Sub-percent range, which goes so far that in their original packaging, and then for the first time charged batteries the same almost in the reached their second final charge voltage.

- The "up to 1000 cycles" I believe you. First copies have with me already sure 100 charges behind him and did not yet show signs of wear.

- Fast charge (~ 1h with 1C) take Eneloops not bad, because of the lower internal resistance also keeps the heating in encouraging low limits.

- Due to the higher voltage system more capacity is available. Where a 3000mAh-bolt again to the charger must (and 1000mAh remain unused), the Eneloop lasts longer before the unit shuts down. Important lamps with battery (bags).

- Good resistance to high current brings short recharging cycles at the photo flash.

- It is supposed to give Eneloop variants with higher capacity and lower cycle stability. A relevant purchase decision must each meet itself, I renounce love to experiment.

In Conclusion full five Amazon points for a product that met once for a change, the advertised features the letter and fully. I'd like to give as many as six asterisks. Thank Sanyo for this active contribution to environmental protection. Primary cells were yesterday, the future belongs Eneloop.
