New improved eneloop kit in colors eneloop - ready to use rechargeable battery. Since its launch in November 2005 eneloop has become well-known around the world as it has revolutionized the consumer-use rechargeable battery segment with its unique features: * rechargeable approximately 1500 times * coming pre-charged making it usable immediately after purchase * its unique design departing from the look of traditional batteries What is the difference between the "old" and the "new" improved eneloop? * An extra of 500 charging cycles - instead of being rechargeable 1000 times the new eneloop is even rechargeable up to 1500 times. * Improved self-dischcharge. Even though the self discharge of the old eneloop was already very impressive you can store the new eneloop for 3 years and still it will retain 75% of its capacity. * You need a battery which is reliable even when having cold temperatures? Before eneloop was suitable for temperatures as low as -10°C - now even until -20°C. * The new eneloop is even more environment-friendly as it is pre-charged with solar energy in Japan.

• Includes 10 AA and 4 AA (Charger not included)


• Holds charge up to 3 years. Each eneloop will maintain 75% capacity after 3 years of non-use.


• Recharge 1500x. New and Improved! Each eneloop can be recharged 1500 times.


• Pre-charged and ready to use in your favorite devices


• Less than 4 cents per recharge. Save money. Over thier lifetime each eneloop costs less then 4 cents per recharge.

LSD is great.... just keep away from heat!

According to Sanyo the new eneloop LSD (low self-discharge) NiMH batteries can maintain 85% of its original charge after 1 year of storage. This claim is slightly misleading because it is based on simulation test at 20 degree C. At higher temperature the self-discharge rate is likely to be much higher.



I have tested five of those AA cells (details are given in my review for the eneloop 4-pack). The average energy loss is about 26% after less than 6 months of storage based on manufacturer date codes. This self-discharge rate is about 3 times higher than what Sanyo claimed. However it is still 6 times lower than that of ordinary NiMH batteries. Therefore I'm in the process of replacing most of my existing rechargeable cells to the Sanyo eneloop.



Thanks to lower self-discharge rate you'll discover a lot more applications for eneloop cells in your house such as in clocks and remote controls. Do NOT use those cell in smoke detectors since their discharge voltage profile is very different from that of alkaline cells. Also don't use them as emergency flash lights batteries in your car because the higher temperature during summer time will probably nullify the advantage of LSD.



[Update on Jan 13 2007]

I have tested six new eneloop AAA cells dated "2006-06'. The average residue charge is 589mAh and the freshly charged capacity is 827mAh. This implies a self-discharge rate of 29% in 7 months which is consistent with the rate for AA cells (26% loss in 6 months).



[Update on Jan 29 2007]

The Rayovac "Hybrid" rechargeable NiMH batteries are now available at Walmart priced at only $[...] for 4-pack of AA or AAA cells. It is also advertised to have low self-discharge rate but not as low as that for eneloop. The eneloop is supposed to retain 85% charge in 12 months (when stored at 20 degree C) whereas Hybrid is supposed to retain 80% charge in 6 months (no mention of temperature).



[Update on June 3 2007]

In my 2-month self-discharge test using four different brands of NiMH cells. Hybrid and eneloop came up neck-and-neck!



Room temperature: 60-62 degree F (16-17 degree C). All capacities measured are average of 2-cells.



- Sanyo eneloop 2000 purchased Jan 2007.

Initial capacity measured: 2070mAh

Capacity after 62 days: 1796mAh (-13.2%)

(Note: my previous result for eneloop showed -18% but I repeated the test and it did better this time)



- Rayovac Hybrid 2100 purchased Jan 2007.

Initial capacity measured: 2155mAh

Capacity after 62 days: 1859mAh (-13.8%)



- LaCrosse 2000 purchased Jan 2006.

Initial capacity measured: 1902mAh

Capacity after 62 days: 1417mAh (-26%)



- SONY 2300 purchased Sep 2004.

Initial capacity measured: 2210mAh

Capacity after 62 days: 1309mAh (-41%)



So neither eneloop nor Hybrid did as well as advertised but they are still significantly better than previous generation of NiMH cells. So you can't go wrong with either brand.
