Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

Very nice topic :) great job ChibiM.

I read somewhere that new Disney-white (so-called: LoveLove) edition are made only in the AAA format, is that true?

(black&red = Mickey&Minnie) are available in AA and also AAA format!

*Oooo, if I only live in Japan


Here is a nice page with 3D overview of disney series

After running my eneloops flat in my PA40, I did a slow charge at 600mA and discharge at 500mA

Not so good results this time:

1896, 1890, 1896, 1902

ezarc, not the charge speed (transfer rate) is important ---it doesnt matter very much if you charge fast or very slow; the transferred charge will be the same!--- but the discharge speed (transfer rate). one gets more (continuous) charge out of a cell if the cell is discharged very slowly. (this can also be seen from doing maths on the parametric discharge graphs of Liion cells).

your numbers sound sound .. because -0.5A is 0.25C, which is ..etc.. ;)

The 1950 I got after break in is the highest I got, normal charges and discharges were around 1700 before break in.

Reading over at CPF it makes me wonder if those guys are talking out of their asses, nearly all of them claim they get around 2100 out of them.

I think typical is supposed to be 2000 and min 1900, I know its not a big deal though but its not what I expected.

Maybe Ill do another break in cycle on them sometime and see if it improves anything.

Kreisler, did you determine capacity in yours based on discharge numbers?

hi veer, i did some testing yes. charge rate is not a true factor in getting higher capacity reading from the C9000. you get (minimally!) higher capacity readings from the C9000 if the prior discharge was performed very slowly (either on the C9000 or with Moonlight mode of your light). that's also the reason why the break-in is the way it is: the break-in discharges at -0.1C afaik.

what are discharge numbers? you mean the number of cycles? i dont keep track of the latter anymore. years of use and abuse of Eneloops on cpf have shown that, as a rule of thumb, the cells are robust and "dont age", and that you can reset them to factory state with a break-in whenever you want to. in some cases, capacity can be increased. I, for example, did extensive overdischarging and overcharging of the cells, and capacity, according to C9000 readings, has increased since.

i check capacity mayber 1x per month. and it's not based on cycles. capacity remains constant. Eneloop wonder!!

I meant data that you got from discharge, not number of cycles.

Thanks.

Got my C9000 couple of days ago, testing it step by step, neat!

how about this here? ;)

I found them for sale on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/150784117644

This says HR-3UTGBL8DL are AA: http://joshinweb.jp/kaden/11316/4973934487918.html

$61 with shipping!!!

You could have looked in my list.. and had seen that they have both the AA and AAA`s ;)

Edit: June 7th 2012: For the Black-Red eneloops, they have both AA`s and AAA`s, but not for the white Disney-Love ones, they only have AA`s
I also edited my third post in this thread with the correct model numbers!

I doubt there are many fake eneloops about. The ones ezarc has are genuine. There was a batch with hidden vents.

Where can you buy standard 3rd Gen cells at a good price? Is anything available besides these expensive "designer" cells?

Are there any US sellers?

You can get 4 3rd gen ones from Japan via eBay for around $20.

As for US sellers, probably not of the 3rd gen ones unless its at a over inflated price.

I just did a break in on some Turnigy LSD batteries from Hobby King, they are all around 2250-2350 but there is no indication how many cycles they will last.

I buy most of my eneloops at Thomas Distributing. They also include a free clear plastic case.

Thanks.

I found j-stop on ebay, $22 for 4AA shipped. Not bad considering Amazon charges $20 for 2nd gen. I'd rather deal with US seller if possible. I'm not interested in experimenting with a new brand of LSD cells. I've used Sanyo for >5 years, all my 1st Gens are still working pretty good, despite 100s of cycles. Many of them are probably at or beyond the 1000 cycle count.

I have bought from Thomas before, decent seller, all their Eneloops are apparently 2nd Gen, but price is good at $15 shipped for 4AAs.

Welcome to the club, seeker!

Aloha and welcome to BLF seeker!

SO, can anyone confirm that the eneloops DD are selling are fake or not, and which generation they are please? Thanks!

These are not fakes. About the same price as DD (46$ for 12). Even comes with a charger for that price.

The company has 12 AAA´s for the same price (also with charger).
