Rechargeable Batteries Revolution : DigInfo

Sanyo develops immediately usable, new rechargeable battery product line.

Sanyo has recently begun marketing a variety of "eneloop" related products. The product lineup features a solar battery charger, a pocket warmer featuring a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, and, to spur the company's eneloop sales promotion, a battery checker configured in the shape of a dog.

Sanyo is excited about the future of its eneloop product series, products that it designed to promote the benefits of recycling, and also to support the company's vision to engender a clean energy society.

Disposable batteries contribute to environmental degradation, but up to now consumers have largely shunned rechargeable batteries because of their limited charge volume, short life cycle, and overall poor cost performance.

Previously, buyers had to first charge the rechargeable batteries after purchase before they could use them, and these batteries would quickly lose their charge if left on the shelf. Now, however, buyers can use Sanyo's new eneloop rechargeable batteries immediately after purchase, and can recharge them up to a thousand times.

Buyers don't have to worry about "battery memory effect", and so it's not necessary to completely discharge the batteries before recharging. Featuring immediate use after purchase and quick recharges, the eneloop battery series is definitely an environmentally friendly product line.

Eneloops are indeed the best. I bought 54 of them and replaced every other battery in my house and at work. I am using them since 2 years and I am happy with them more then ever.

hey guys i was wondering, --- well i have a Energizer rechargeable thingy, and i was wondering, when the batteries are done charging, should i take them out or is it ok to keep the batteries in?

Duracell Precharge has switched companies from eneloop to Rayovac. Rayovac isn't very good so stay away and buy real Eneloops or Powerx Imedions.

There is truth to that, but with a high quality 1 hour charger....say one with built in cooling fan, you're fine with the quicker ones. The 15min SUPER quick, however, would be detrimental. I use a quality 1 hour charger with eneloop and point a USB operated fan at them.....they stay proper cold all through the charging cycle. Best of both worlds.....speed and long life. However even without the fan I doubt the heat would damage their capacity too much.

but i thought the slower the charging the longer the batteries will last (not charged but overall)

Can anyone inform about its availability in Pakistan ? Place, Price ......??

Yes, The Powerex Imedion are better and hold 85 percent of there charge after a year but the eneloop are not be ignored either. If i remember right they hold 75 percent of there charge after a year. The Duracell Precharge are EXACTLY the same battery from sanyo just a different label. Just remember slow charging on a 2 hour plus charger prevents damage and prolongs life to the battery.
