Overview: All Eneloop batteries 2005-2024

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 you’ll do discharge at 4A, you might even set it to 0.8V, as you’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 I’m charging two of them, then I’ll begin with the discharge…

Yes, I saw your post, but on the entire thread I couldn’t find Manafont, so I though the problem was just DinoDirect.
I live outside the US, so I think I can’t get Eneloops (batteryjunction’s shipping is too much exaggerated, so I’ll never buy there).

Results:

Discharge to 0.8V @ 2Amps: 177mAh

Discharge to 0.8V @ 1Amp: 1703mAh

So… FAKE cells, but could be worse.
MF Manafont doesn’t sell genuine Sanyo Eneloops!!!

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