The Panasonic Eneloop batteries (Formally Sanyo Eneloop) were the worlds first Low discharge battery. What does low discharge mean you may ask. Well this means that the batteries will retain their charge for up to 3 times that of a regular Nimh or nicd battery. Great if you want to use them in a device which is likely to sit around before being used. The new Eneloop battery now utilizes Panasonics advanced rechargeable cell technology which gives them the added bonus of being able to recharge the batteries up to 2100 times. This makes the battery ideal for all of those household products that use a AA cell to power them. Keep your tactical flashlights, walkie-talkie radios, battery powered lanterns, cameras and other devices powered in the winter. eneloop and eneloop pro batteries deliver exceptional performance at extreme low temperatures, down to –20°C.
The initial voltage level of a battery provides no indication of how long the battery will last or how much power it can deliver. Alkaline battery cells rapidly drop below 1.5V soon after they are put into use and the voltage continues to steadily decline over time. Since alkaline cells are non-rechargeable, they must be discarded and then replaced. eneloop batteries deliver best-in-class Ni-MH high capacity power and “rechargeability” combination up to 2100 times. Devices including cameras flash unit's and wireless game controllers can easily draw more than 1000mA of current; rapidly depleting alkaline batteries power. eneloop batteries maintain a consistently high voltage level keeping your devices operating for a long period of time.
Specifications of the Panasonic batteries:
