So far none of my eneloop batteries have died with the eneloop charger. The eneloop charger seems to be a little bit slow charging up a set of batteries but I believe the slow charge is purposely gentle to prevent overheating resulting in shortened life. My digital SLR camera used to eat alkaline batteries like hogs at the trough; it's frustrating and expensive. The eneloop batteries hold up and I have never had to switch them out during a shoot.
cannot tell you why not specifically but an IT explained this to me. This set is a real bargain at Amazon.Only problem with this new generation of rechargeable batteries. An Eneloop 2-battery (AA) set with one charger still sells for $20+ at the major camera stores.Do the math and buy this package while they are available. On the other hand, they do work well in electronic photo flash units.But overall, this is a GREAT deal - a whole lot for the money. they do not work in every application/ electronic environment. For example, they are not reliable power sources for computer mice -.
Thank you. ( for example WII Controller, etc). Save my money due to so many devices need battery. I dont need to buy more batteries for toys/ game that consume a lot of batteries.
I have been very happy with these batteries and now use them in my camera and remote controls. I got Eneloops because I got sick of how fast my Energizer rechargeables lost their charge. Their usefulness totally justifies the higher price, in my opinion. In fact, I intend to get a few more AAA's so I can use them in the rest of my remotes and still have a spare set to swap out when they need recharging.This is a great item and I highly recommend it. They're fine for things like toys and digital cameras, but totally worthless for remote controls and other things that you expect a battery to last a long time in. Even if I charge them and let them sit around for a couple weeks they somehow drain themselves.So when I heard about rechargeable batteries that retain their charge over time, I just had to try them.
However, this set is a great deal -- it provides a full set of batters, adapters and a recharger all for a reasonable fee. One major drawback is the cost. My family loves it. I've loved Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries for several years now. I think they are a great design -- much more energy efficient and long lasting than other brands.
