SANYO eneloop 4 Pack AA NiMH Pre-Charged Rechargeable Batteries

eneloop is a new type of battery, which satisfies your needs and expectation in an unique way. This battery can be used right after purchasing, has a high performance, has a long shelf life with no loss of energy, can be used everywhere, environmentally friendly and easy to use. Unlike disposable batteries which can only be used once and wasteful, eneloop batteries can be recharged replacing 1000 disposable batteries.

now I can say at least they function as good as Duracell precharged ones. I test them more.

Great betters. Of all the so-called "ready-to-use" batteries, the eneloops are probably the best. I can grab them out of the drawer a full month after charging them and they are still fully charged. I quit using standard rechargeable batteries because a month later they were less than 1/2 charged. I am using eneloops in my digital camera and they perform wonderfully. Lots of flash pics and the batteries last as least as long as good alkalines. You can't go wrong with these batteries. You are going to pay a bit more per battery or regular rechargeable but their convenience and performance will wow you.

Trying to be both Earth and money conscience, I purchased the Sanyo Eneloop charger and battery combo in early 2007 from Amazon as well as another 8 pack of the batteries. My intention was to use these batteries in my new Kodak digital camera. Ha! I would have better luck taking pictures with an oatmeal box camera then by using these batteries in this camera. Out of the package, they lasted for a whopping 15 pictures before the camera shut off from low battery. Tried chargeing them, and had more success - 20 pictures before battery death. After many weeks of frustration, I noticed that if I took the batteries out and switch their position in the camera (it only takes two AA by the way), I was able to get an additional 10-15 pictures. Still not even close to what the reviewers and manufacturer were claiming. Finally, I researched the warranty on the batteries (no information came with the products) and sent all of the batteries and the charger back to the manufacturer with a long letter and got back... all new batteries and the same charger I had sent them. No better luck with the new batteries. In frustration, I even tried charging them on another brand of charger but had only a minimal increase in photo output. Have shelved these as a major waste in the camera and keep 'em on standby of the Wii remotes only now. Have found much better success with photo batteries. According to Kodak tech support, they do not recomend these batteries for their cameras for exactly the same reasons - don't hold up to the load demand. Please use caution if purchasing these batteries and check with your equipment manufacturer ot see if they are recommended before you invest in the Eneloop product.

I put them to my daughter's bouncer for 4 months already. it still has battery. never use any other brands, but I am 100% satisfy with the price and quality, that I don't bother to try others.

I bought these for my Wii remotes, and they have held up pretty well! I've only had to charge them once amid some pretty serious play with G.H. World Tour! I'm certainly hoping they continue to hold their charge a good long time. Charger is also great!
