Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

Oh man!!!

This is SAD!!! TERRIBLE!!!

I ordered one pack last saturday!

Definetively FAKE

1) In DD photos, you can clearly see that in the photos is shown the second generation. The one you received, are FAKE 1st gen

2) Discharge tests from factory: Cells which are 1500mAh, OK, but the cells that are 190 or 300mAh… TERRIBLE

3) They have a “ridge” near the positive end

4) There is an SPACE between the words “FIRE, NOR”. Original ones MUST not have the space

5) Venting holes: original are “conical shape”. The ones you received are “rectangular shape”

6) The quality of the wrapper. No comments

7) Can you see any DATECODE printed in the surface? if not DEFINETIVELY FAKE!!!

Oh no!!! DinoDirect I want my money!!!

There are no date numbers on these fake cells but there are no on my 2nd gen Eneloops and 1st gen AAA neither, I found that my original ones have etched date codes, barely visible now.

Last two cell discharge numbers:

714mAh
1587mAh

I also charged two cells @2000mA charge rate, guess what I get:

2611mAh
2780mAh

Definitely fake by looks and by performance, will contact DD today and ask for full refund and report them to Sanyo, if that will make any sense :slight_smile:

aaaarrrgggggggggggg

I have lost 15$ and I now have to buy genuine eneloops elsewhere (waste more money!)

Guys!!! DONT BUY ENELOOPS AT DINODIRECT!!!

Please, vëer, keep me informed on how DinoDirect solves the problem because I will have the same problem in a few weeks.

I can not throw my money to the garbage!

I would only charge at 1000, but if they are real they should take 2000. This is the charge you put in or did you do a discharge after charging the batteries? If they are real, a full Eneloop should discharge right around 1900-2050. But given how old these are, it may take a couple of cycles before they behave normally.

Its charge, I havent had time to test their true capacity.
Either way 2600/2700mAh seems bit too high even for supposedly old cells with long shelf life.

I took the wrapper off one of the batteries:



Theres print on battery:
HFR NI-MH 120417

I have no idea, googling brings up only Alibaba brandless battery results, it doesnt find anything with 120417 tho, only with HFR NI-MH.

Alibaba links say Place of Origin: Guangdong China (Mainland) Brand Name: HFR
Perhaps this is the manufacturer:

Anyone know anything about these Sanyo Harmolattice

All I know is they are LSD, 2500mAh and 500 cycles (same as XX eneloop)

Well, $15 is really good price for re-branded & pretty XX’es!
Really shame that it’s only seller & he doesn’t ships internationally, I’d so take a 4-pack of these.

+1 on that, 15$ for XX Eneloops is a bargain, but shipping would probably kill the deal for us because we can get them for ~21$ locally.

Little update regarding my fake DinoDirect Enepoops - their capacity range from 1800mAh to 2400mAh, I will test 4 of them for their LSD properties tomorrow, 2 days after I charged them, next 4 I will test in a week, if its going to be worth it, it depends how good data will turn to be after 2 days of self discharge.
If its promising, then 1 month test is due.

Have you contacted DinoDirect about the issue?
(I still haven´t received mine)

I have, its been 5 days and NO reply from them, I opened up a case in resolutions center, left a message today there to see whether anyone will reply or not.

I bought these for my brother through his account, looks like Im keeping them and resolving this case as well :smiley:

these are the Eneloop XX in a different wrapper.
I think we talked about them earlier in this thread.

The numbers are not really good, most likely fakes. 2400 is way too high, and 1800 is not so good either

Same specs as the XX/Pro, just a different packaging? There are posts on the internet about these going back to January 2011. They seem to have been marketed in Malaysia and the Philippines based on the posts I’ve seen.

Oh no, you guys actually have ordered Eneloops from DD. Hope you get your money back!!

I would not done it for any price, knowing what they send at random as TF Flames etc.

I just got a mail back from Sanyo.

Dear xxxxx,

FYI the only different between double x and Harmolattice is double x come with pre charge technology but Harmolattice is not.

Harmolattice is advertised coming pre-charged.
I found this on the other forum:
XX is for the European market and there is an equivalent Harmolattice 2500mAh (with the Eneloop technology) for the Asian market. Unlike the XX, Harmolattice are not pre-charged.
