Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

Doesnt look like they are 24/7ā€¦

Picked these up from the post office yesterday.

Edit: Added some info at the beginning of this thread about the Sanyo Harmolattice.

@vƫer and others:

I have started to test my FAKELoops from dino

These batts ARE NOT LSD. And no need to do a 6 months LSD test. Why?

I compared how much the voltage drops after chargingā€¦. I mean, I measured how much voltage drops on a LSD battery and on a non-LSD battery.

I have found that:

LSD battery: after charging, the voltage remains above 1.4volt even after several days

NON-LSD battery: after charging, the voltage drops from 1.4volt to 1.37 in less than 1 hour.

For me, no need to waste time and money doing a 6 months LSD test.

At least they have offered something. Of course, money refunded is way better than giftcards (giftcard = you must buy from them)

I have to think what I am going to tell them

I paid only 11$, the rest came from gift cards and they cant even start their offer with 45$ gift card.
I know what Im getting when I get my gift card tho :smiley:

Did you have to send photos? Did you linked to this thread? (to know what to doā€¦)

I didnt link to this thread, no need to.
I uploaded images to DD both in CS messaging system and RMA request.

hmm Thanks I will try today

This really belongs in a DD thread at this point, not an Eneloop thread.

Cleaned my posts as much as I could without ruining asnwers to my posts, new thread started :wink:

I think I have received FAKE Gen1 Eneloops from Manafont, because they don't have the date code on the side. I can do a discharge test, but my question is, which voltage do I have to select to discharge? 0.9v is OK or it's too much? I would like to do a 4A discharge but don't know when to cutt off. Some pics of my cells from MF:





0.9V is fine, but if youā€™ll do discharge at 4A, you might even set it to 0.8V, as youā€™ll lose some voltage in leads between your discharge equipment and battery, springs (if you use cradle, etc.

Did you check out my recent thread?

Yours look exactly like mine, which I assume means that they are fake too :wink:
I guess none of those big Chinese DinoDirect-like retailers carry original Eneloops so everyone should avoid buying rechargeable brand name batteries from them or buy only if other members can confirm they have got the same item and they can confirm that its original.

Thanks, now Iā€™m charging two of them, then Iā€™ll begin with the dischargeā€¦

Yes, I saw your post, but on the entire thread I couldnā€™t find Manafont, so I though the problem was just DinoDirect.
I live outside the US, so I think I canā€™t get Eneloops (batteryjunctionā€™s shipping is too much exaggerated, so Iā€™ll never buy there).

Results:

Discharge to 0.8V @ 2Amps: 177mAh

Discharge to 0.8V @ 1Amp: 1703mAh

Soā€¦ FAKE cells, but could be worse.
MF Manafont doesnā€™t sell genuine Sanyo Eneloops!!!

Make sure you re-post this information in my thread also, that way more people could be warned ;)!

Never seen these black ā€œglitterā€ eneloops before! 2nd gen

They are sold at Nkon.nl, which is based in Holland!
Haven`t seen them anywhere else before.

They also are available here: http://www.voelkner.de/products/286652/eneloop-NiMH-Mignon-Akkus-2000-mAh-8er-1.2-V.html
Black & white ones.

Good idea. Done!
