Low self discharge: 70% capacity left after 5 years
Cycle life: 3000 cycles.
Maximum temperature raise at different discharge currents: 1A:+2,6°C, 2A:+3,4°C, 3A:+5,4°C, 5A:+8,7°C, 7A:+10,7°C, 10A:+11,0°C
The latest generation of of eneloop lite (2016).
The discharge curves has a very good match, but the capacity is low (As specifications says).
Conclusion
These batteries are for remote controls or wireless phones (DECT) and other equipment with low current consumption or very frequent charging. In neither case is high capacity required, but the low self discharge and the many charge cycles can be an advantage.
Notes and links
The batteries was supplied by Panasonic for a review.
Never understood why these are recommended for remote controls. Self discharge is as low as the regular Eneloops, and I understand you don’t need the capacity. The lite version is characterised by the much higher number of charge cycles, but who needs that for remote control use? I mean how often do you change batteries in a remote?
I skipped “with help from their advertising agency” and it was only two NiMH battery types and a low cost charger (Review later).
It would have been much more interesting to get the full set of eneloop.
The lite version is acually also quite a bit lighter. 11.8 grams lighter per battery is quite a bit (40%). It might be a nice option for a wireless mouse as well.
Aha. They’re literally light. 40% is a lot indeed. Ironically, a couple of weeks ago I took a pair of Eneloops out of my wireless mouse to put them in a light…I totally forgot about them as I hadn’t touched the mouse in quite some time.
