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).
Kiel razon,
Ano name nung store na nakita mo yung eneloop glitters?
dpende naman po sa gamit kung parating mg flash mas madali mag lowbat
wtf
i think filter exchange at multiply they sell those colored batteries. as much as i wanted those. . i dont think its practical for me to buy them. . .i am satisfied with sanyo 2500mah batts for my di622. .
I’ve been using the CDR-King branded Ecomax LSD for almost two years on my gadgets. I’m quite happy with the performance and price (before it was 150 pesos for a pair of AA’s)
Just a reminder though, the batteries are only as good as the charger they were charged on. Be sure to get a good charger when you’re investing on LSD batteries.
I have 4 white eneloop 2AA battery,available nb yan dito local market..
Mahal pala bili ko ng sa akin 800php 4 pcs,laki pala price difference pag sa tipidpc or hidalgo bumili,tsk sayang….
love the colors!
Ditto on low discharge.
mga pre, kahit 1900 mAh rated lang yan eh mas maganda pa yan sa lahat. matagal madischarge kahit ilang buwan ng na stock malakas pa din ang charge. matulin sa cycle charge time pag ginagamit ko sa Nikon SB800 ko. di ko na kailangan ilagay ang 5th battery nyan. sulit talaga kahit mahal. pero SULIT! nagamit ko na ang powerbase, sony, sanyo 2700 mAh at iba, ala kwenta.
Too bad, I already have a bunch of white Eneloops. I don’t have any problems with the 2000mah rating, though; I use them primarily for my flash (Nissin di622), and the recycle times are fast enough, even on full power.
gusto ko yang set na yan, sana available sa market yan
500 ang set (4pcs.) ng eneloops sa hidalgo o kaya sa tipidpc XD
Pero mas maganda kung maiba-iba ang kulay :))
I saw these set of batteries at camera shops at Hidalgo, Quiapo
may eneloop sa cdr king… lagi nga lang out of stock…
At least they’re cute. =)
@Calvin
I haven’t got an Apple battery charger yet but if it’s like how they do their power adapters then it should fill the battery to 80% within an hour or so, afterwards it would slowly trickle charge to 100%.
eneloops only go as high as 1900mah still. there are 2000mah but they’re still rated at 1900mah. that’s the drawback of having the low-discharge eneloops. pero ok na yan for everyday rechargeable devices.
@paul, yung 1.6k na yun ordinary charger ba or fast charger?
I got the rainbow AA set as pasalubong last December.
Is it locally available Abe? :) Do you have a spare set of it? I’ll buy those.. hehe
Does the pack of 8 AA’s come with a charger or do you have to buy it separately?
I ask because Apple has a battery charger which uses Sanyo eneloops too and they cost about 1.6k for 6 AA batteries and a charger.
