I am looking to buy some Eneloop cells for my Quark QP2A and Nitecore EA4w flashlights I have on the way and was wondering if it is worth spending the extra money to buy the higher capacity XX 2500mAh Eneloops over the standard 1500 cycle/2000mAh ones ?
See if you can find Sanyo Harmolattice for a cheap price, they are the same as Pro/XX but don’t come pre-charged. They are sold in many countries across Asia but find their way in to other countries as well (some local eBay sellers sell them here in Australia). You can save a bit of money off the Pro/XX price for the same cells with a different wrapper.
Personally I would only buy them unless I needed the extra run time, if you are going to use it for more than a hour in 1 go on high for example then they might be worth it but if you dont then you can recharge them more often and get more power from the regular eneloops over their life time.
Either will be fine, if you don’t need the long run times then it just comes down to personal preference.
"Thank YOU ChibiM and the other contributors too, of course, for starting and maintaining this wonderfully informing thread!
I recently received some Eneloop battery's from Amazon and was able to verify, by the above thread info, that as far as markings go, they seem to be genuine 2nd gens made in Dec 11 and Feb 13. I haven't started the torture cycle yet but I will post the results once I get a round toit.
Imho the problem with counterfeit merchandise isn't that it may work almost as well as the real deal, it's that you have been cheated on the deal by the merchant. Thanks all for helping to expose these ba...uh...behaviors.

I’m located in the USA. I dont want to deal with worring about if I have fakes or not. I would buy them directly from SANYO if they had a web store. . any reccomendations on where to buy from?
If its against policy to post links to stores here, please do not post them. just send me a PM
what picrthis said... they are (as far as I know) only available in Japan. Almost every store carries them, except for the D and C cells, which are not available everywhere.
Thanks for the quick replies.
So, I assume that noone is aware of a store (or website) in Japan that can ship these to a US address?
Thanks again
