So any recommendations for buying, say, 2 dozen Eneloop AAAs? I wish I could find the price per cell listed — everything I find is 2-pack or 4-pack etcetera. And wow do the prices vary.

Thomas Distributing used to have competitive prices. https://www.thomasdistributing.com/search.asp?keyword=eneloop Like most places, it appears they only stock the China/Panasonic variety now. (In the non-pro versions anyway). I’m not sure how they stack up for price these days compared to other US sellers but they’re much cheaper than Oz sellers. I have a large stockpile of Eneloops but usually recommend the IKEA whites (=Eneloop pro) to friends who ask. About a third of the price of the Eneloops here.

I believe the cells at TomasD are the real deal. There is no indication they sell Chinese eneloops. Chinese eneloops are mainly for the Asian ,Oceanian,South American, African market.

Yes, Thomas Distributing only handles the Japan Eneloops. I called to verify before my last purchase a couple of months ago.
They are my go to online store for Eneloops.

Great people to deal with & fast shipping.

There’s an Ebay seller “Horizonbattery” offering a discount on Eneloops right now — cost about $2/cell for AA and AAAs.
Ends today.

Botanic!

Very nice… but… made in Japan?

Where to buy?

ChibiM · June 25, 2018, 3:19pm

Hey Fran,

sorry I only noticed your message now.
Currently only available in Eastern part of Europe. Not sure if they become available anywhere else.

I just got a special edition.

Still think glitter edition is the coolest. :sunglasses:

fran82 · June 25, 2018, 7:51pm

Dont worry chibim.

But… are they made in japan?

ChibiM · June 25, 2018, 8:47pm

I am still looking for the glitter ones hikarinoob :)

Fran, yes they are made in Japan. I might be uploading another video on Youtube with my latest envelope of eneloop goodies including a package of the AA botanics.

fran82 · June 25, 2018, 9:43pm

Yeah! I am anxious!

I got from Panasonic Canada today a set of BK3MCCA and they have eneloop printed on the side. I also have a set from Japan from a few months ago and they are BK3MCC and have panasonic printed on them. Any difference with these batteries?

ChibiM · June 26, 2018, 5:08am

@Klrman: the ones sold in Japan had a makeover in 2013. They have the Panasonic printed on the side. Everywhere else have eneloop printed on their side. They can both be the same battery. Some countries have Chinese eneloops, like Australia, New Zealand, Asia, Sputh America and Africa.

klrman · June 26, 2018, 5:19am

I see, thanks ChibiM. Also, I was thinking of getting the AA and AAA glitters for my collection but they are so expensive. Any tips where to find them at a fair price?

ChibiM · June 26, 2018, 5:22am

Good question! They are rediculous expensive yes. Unfortunately I also dont know. Thereare some available on eBay, but they are expensive... Same in Japan.

klrman · June 26, 2018, 5:26am

Ah, thought so. People want them so the price goes up.

ChibiM · June 26, 2018, 5:38am

Yep. Just saw some in Japan starting at 5000yen, which is about $40-$50. Bad thing is, its hard to order from overseas.

klrman · June 26, 2018, 5:45am

I looked at amazon.jp and only found one listing for the HR-3UTGA-8SL but in the title they say it is AAA so not correct in their description. If ordering other than amazon.jp, yeah, not so easy.

ChibiM · June 26, 2018, 6:38am

I was looking at auctions.yahoo.co.jp it was even hard for me to order while living in Japan...

klrman · June 26, 2018, 6:33am

I saw that on yahoo auctions too but it seemed too complicated so I moved on lol
