The Rechargeable Battery
That Doesn't Self-Discharge

Rechargeable NiMH batteries are great products. They provide loads of power, have consistent performance, and are rechargeable hundreds of times. They’re almost  the perfect battery. But they have a single issue.

NiMH Batteries Are Like A Bucket With A Hole

Even if you don’t use what’s in the bucket, it ultimately drips out because of the hole. NiMH cells are like this, due to their inability to hold a charge longer than about 3 months, (up to 6 months if put in a freezer.)

This is problematic if you don't use all your rechargeable batteries' power quickly, and let them sit around for a a while unused. What if you only use your digital camera for a few pictures and then let it sit for a few weeks. Who hasn't grabbed a camera, only to find the batteries have self-discharged and only have power for a couple of pictures.

It can be really frustrating.

Sanyo, the world-wide sales leader in NiMH technology, has come out with a solution, called

The First Rechargeable Battery That Virtually Does Not Self-Discharge

How would you like a battery that retains up to 85% of its charge after a year of sitting around?

Yep, that's right. After a year of sitting around.

It closes the gap between rechargeable and dry cell batteries, which are used right out of the box and have very long shelf-lives, eneloop is useable right out of the box. They're charged at the factory, and are useable right away. (They will need solid recharging, and we recommend the Lightning Pack 4000N recharger for long-term satisfaction.)

Here is a graphic from Sanyo, showing the self-discharging differences between eneloop and regular NiMH batteries.

Tested to be 450% more powerful than even the strongest, most durable Alkaline batteries, eneloop powers even the most demanding of electronic devices. Perfectly matched for digital cameras and other electronic photo media, the eneloop battery is also perfect for any other device needing lots of power on hand for any occasion.

Also, eneloop is designed to operate efficiently at cold temperatures. While traditional Alkaline batteries lose virtually all their effectiveness at 32°F, eneloop provides almost 100% of its stored energy at temperatures down to freezing.

Please understand that even the highest capacity NiMH cells self-discharge relatively quickly, and are only fully efficient if you use all their power in a day or so. Fully charged cells discharge at a rate of 2-3% per day, so its typical to lose about 25-50% of charge if they sit unused afater several weeks.

We've verified that Sanyo eneloop has exactly 2000mAh of capacity. Because of their superior energy-holding abilities, you won't have to worry about using them as frequently. You'll get virtually all its energy even after several months of sitting around unused.
