For the longest time, I’ve been using Powerbase re-chargeable AA batteries for most of my gadgets (primarily for the Canon 580EX II). I’ve been wanting to get the Eneloop ones from Sanyo and jumped the gun when I saw these.
They come in a pack of 8’s and each battery has a different color.
Well, my old Powerbase batteries have all been mixed up and I had to mark them up to know which battery comes with which pair.
The color-coded Eneloop batteries looks like it has solved that minor issue. Only drawback is that these batteries are rated at just 1900mAh. The Powerbase ones I have right now are in the 2300mAH, 2600mAh and 2700mAh. I also got the AAA Eneloop batteries at 900mAh. And they don’t come in cheap. The set of AA costs like Php1,250 and the AAA is like Php1,000 (converted from Japanese Yen).
Where can I order those eneloops?
I have been using Sanyo 700mah Nicads for my Mini4wd racing. It’s good enough for me. I have a Triton fast charger so I can recharge in 5 mins if I need to.
Ang cute nung colors! Hahahaha. I might just buy 1 set coz of that. =)
Sanyo rechargable batteries are the best I’ve used. The first ones I bought (2005) finally began to show signs of not charging well only early last year (2009). I switched to Sanyo Eneloops and I’ve been very happy. Even if they have lower mAh than the others, they seem to last long in between charges.
