Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sanyo Eneloop AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargable Batteries with Charger - 4 Pack
Customer Review: I popped open the charger it is definitely smart
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research on charger/battery kits as I wanted
to go completely (as far as practical) to NiMH rechargeable batteries.
I decided after reading many blogs and reviews that Sanyo was the way to go.
I use or will use NiMH for my consumer products and my electronic projects.
I'm a hardware hacker on the cheap so I try to get the best deal I can for my money. Anyway, I bought this kit because I was impressed by the quality of the batteries and the smart charger for about $25 bucks and free shipping.
I just got the kit and I was very pleased. I popped open the charger and
it is definitely intelligent. What drives the charger is a 4-bit micro controller interfaced with an analog chip and a lot of passive components. I also was impressed that the batteries were made in Japan.
I saw a video on how they were made - cool! I was also impressed that
there was a toll free number on the battery to arrange for recycling of the battery. I've always liked Sanyo products for their value to cost.
I had to mail order this as NO major store in the Minneapolis area stocked it (as far as my research went). Every store I went to or called
only carried Duracell or Energizer, or sometimes Rayovac NiMH.
I'm a little P.O.'d about how they dominate the big box stores.
Btw, If I HAD to buy rechargeable 'AA' NiMH batteries locally I would buy the Rayovac Hybrids. From their specs. they seem come closest to the Sanyo Enelopes.
Other than that Sanyo Rules (IMHO) when it comes to rechargeables.

Customer Review: Hands Down, the Best Rechargeable Batteries
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased these batteries because I was sick and tired of having my camera die every time I went to use it, and not being able to find batteries that hold a charge. A digital camera, which is the only thing I use these batteries for, is VERY demanding of batteries and takes a great deal of power to function. I researched the best rechargeable batteries for use in digital cameras, and this is what I was recommended to. Four batteries AND a charger for less than $20 is a GREAT deal, because in the stores four rechargeable batteries from a brand like Energizer or Duracell (both of which I have used and ceased to hold a charge after a few months of use) would cost at least $15.
I have owned these batteries for a little over a month, and so far I couldn't be more satisfied with their performance. The fact that they come pre-charged was a HUGE benefit, as they arrived the day before I took a two-week vacation. One set of the batteries (two of them) powered my digital camera for the entire vacation and so far I have only gone through both sets once and I have charged the second set once and am currently using them. In other words, I am on my third charge cycle in total, and thus far I have taken almost 1000 pictures with my camera. This is with significant use of the LCD screen on my camera, which uses much more battery power than powering the flash or the actual taking of the picture. Only time will tell how long these batteries will continue to hold such a significant charge, but at this point they have out-performed all of my expectations.
Customer Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no substitute. Eneloops are the best product on the market by far. They charge quickly and hold a charge for an very long time. In my digital camera, they last longer than even the high-end alkaline batteries. The charger works more quickly than the similar Duracell.
A note of caution about knockoffs. Many other "pre-charged" batteries on the market are actually rebranded Eneloops. For a while, you could pay a lot less for the same batteries. Increasingly, however, these other brands are turning to Chinese made batteries. So far, these have not come close to the quality of the Japanese made Eneloop. Unless you're sure about where the battery comes from, you can waste a lot of money.

Summary: 5 Stars
I don't know what is about these rechargeable batteries, but they work like a dream. They can sustain a charge for a very long time. I have been using them in my Cannon digital camera since June and I have not had any difficulty with them whatsoever. When I first got my camera, I bought some brand name regular digital camera batteries and they lasted all of one week and I found myself buying more and more and just tossing them after a few days or a week. So, I did my research and discovered the Eneloop. They charge in a decent amount of time, and the handy charger makes it easy to recharge them. It's not bulky or flimsy and it comes with a cover. But I have not found that I need to charge the batteries frequently to get maximum use. I don't use the camera frequently, but 2-3 times per month to snap pictures of my kid at various events, these batteries have never failed me though. I tried two other brands of rechargeable batteries, but these are the ones that performed the best. I bought them at a retail store based on reviews I read on Amazon and I needed them right away. But, the store was practically sold out--I guess I wasn't the only one desperate for Eneloop. But I eventually found some. And now that I'm having another kid, I'm gonna buy more for all of those baby toys that require batteries, which seems to be all of them!Customer Review: Work really good so far.
Summary: 5 Stars
I found these batteries by reading customer opinions. (That's why I take time to rate stuff. It helps the next guy) I have tried many different batteries. It seemed I was always rotating batteries. Camera, charger, camera. A real pain. And you get ready for that big one time picture and the camera stops you cold and says "Batteries Low". I thought that was just the deal until I bought these. I put them in the camera right out of the package weeks ago. Over a hundred pics. Using zoom, auto, flash. I just picked it up and snapped half a dozen for grins and chuckels and it worked fine, and the flash is still hot. I have no doubt these are the best for a camera user. If you are a pro they last longer, just more dependable. If you are like me and the camera may sit for weeks they are great because they are still hot. I bought a bunch and left four in a drawer just to see how they work a year from purchase. Oh yeah. The really cool part was they were cheaper. And I bought their charger because I don't know that yesterdays charger is set to charge these hotter batteries. I wish I could find one that had a real meter that would show actual numbers on a gauge. Not, orange, yellow, green. So far these have been the best I have found. That's after at least three different brands and maybe 50 battereies. Three different chargers.
