"Best rechargeable batteries" - Consumer Reports Nov. 2009

Single-use alkaline batteries are a huge waste problem. Most used disposables end up in landfills, rather than being recycled. When not disposed of properly, these batteries can leach heavy metals and hazardous chemicals into the environment. The solution? Long-lasting rechargeable batteries!

Eneloop rechargeable batteries are a smart replacement for disposable batteries for a wide range of uses. They combine the environmental benefits of rechargeables with the high performance of alkaline disposables and can be recharged up to 1500 times. Eneloop rechargeable batteries are an easy way to cut back on another common household disposable, saving money and natural resources - without compromising performance.

Design and Functionality
Eneloop rechargeable batteries combine the power and versatility of alkaline disposables with the cost savings and environmental benefits of traditional rechargeable batteries. Unlike typical rechargeable batteries, eneloops won't lose charge quickly when not in use. In fact, after one year, an eneloop battery will retain 80 percent of its charge, while other rechargable batteries will only retain about 20 percent. Plus, there’s no memory effect, so you can recharge them before they are completely discharged, without lowering the total power capacity.

Eneloop batteries come pre-charged, so you can begin using them right away, and you can charge them at your convenience. Their long run time makes makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, including cameras, music players, flashlights, clocks, remote controls and more. At less than 2 cents per recharge, they pay for themselves in less than two cycles.

Includes 4 AA batteries and one eneloop Universal Charger. Charger has worldwide voltage and charges 4 AA batteries in 7 hours or 4 AAA batteries in 6 hours. Additional eneloop batteries available in AA and AAA.

Materials
Eneloop batteries have similar construction to typical Ni-MH batteries. However, the self-discharge rate has been reduced by using a new superlattice alloy that increases the capacity of the battery and reduces internal resistance – allowing for higher currents. This alloy also reduces the amount of cobalt needed for the battery to perform.

Sustainability
Since it can be recharged 1,500 times, each eneloop battery has the potential to eliminate 1499 disposable batteries from landfills over its lifetime. Americans alone dispose of 8 billion alkaline batteries per year, and 40 billion are disposed world-wide. If every battery was replaced by eneloop, more than 39.9 billion cells would be kept from landfills, annually. Packaging made from recyclable PET and recycled paper. At their end of life, eneloop batteries can be recycled just like alkaline batteries.

About Sanyo Component Europe GmbH
The Japanese word “SANYO” means “three oceans” (Pacific, Atlantic and Indian, specifically), and this symbolized the company’s global perspective, which is based on the vision “Think GAIA” (Greek for "earth"). The company is committed to providing cutting-edge solutions for a sustainable world. Product range now includes industrial and consumer batteries and photovoltaic products.

Care Instructions
Store batteries in a cool, dry place (e.g. in a drawer, under the bed, in a closet). Keep away from high heat. Storage temperature can affect battery performance. Too-high temperatures can cause the battery to discharge faster. However, eneloop performs better than alkaline and rechargeable batteries in freezing temperature.

Can be recycled after use, just like alkaline batteries.

4.0 Working as expected.

Comments about Product:

The charger is compact and efficient. Being such it takes a while to charge even two batteries but once charged the batteries last a long time. I received these before Christmas and have played holiday CDs on a compact player literally all day for several days. I've had to change/charge the batteries in the unit (2) only once in about a week and a half. Impressive.
