Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The product came in a frustration free paper box, as shown in the attached photos. They where made in 2017/10. The batteries are made in Japan, and has a rated capacity of 750mAh. I popped four of these these straight into my old LaCross BC-900 battery charger to test. They were partially charged showing a uniform voltage of 1.34V (or around 89% full). After one cycle, the capacity reads out to be 762/805/788/821. After around 4 cycles, it improved to 821/802/827/847. Note that the LaCross charger doesn’t always give consistent results on mine, but it’s a good idea about the range of capacity, which are significantly higher than the rated 720mAh. There were many speculations that these are regular Eneloops (as opposed to the pros which are rated 900mAh+). It’s not the first time this has happened, and I have purchased similar rebranded Eneloops in the past (such as some old Duracell NiMH). The fact these are made in Japan limits the number of suppliers available, and that they hold over the stated capacity is also something that’s almost exclusive to Eneloops. Finally, it’s also said that while Panasonic owns the Eneloop brand, Fujitsu still has the right of production, and have been making them for the likes of Amazon, IKEA, Duracell, etc. At half the price of regular Eneloops at the time of this writing, and possibly even less when on sale, these are truly the best bargains out there for the finest NiMH available on the market. While it can be argued that the Eneloops are probably worth the ever higher asking price, it’s impossible to overlook that these are very likely the same goods for much less. Seeing how other cheaper NiMH tend to fail to perform, and having used Eneloops and their rebranded cells for over a decade, I’d say these are quite the bargain if you are in the market for LSD NiMH rechargeables. Lastly, there are also higher capacity variants available from AmazonBasics AAA High-Capacity Rechargeable Batteries (4-Pack) Pre-charged - Packaging May Vary, which along with Ikea Ladda are supposed to be the Eneloop Pros, in case you might need those as they rival Alkaline in capacity and endurance.
