Sounds better when you put it like that ;)
In any case, I have ordered the latest 1800 cycle Eneloops now.
Thanks for your help
"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.
Cheating for paper...

Thanks

They are at presently only availble in Japan.
That’s Why we have a friend from Tokio 
Yea but apparantly Kipperman doesn’t 
Hi Scott,
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
-Scott
Amazon Japan carries them.
Not that I know of, and if they do, price including shipping will be high.
Actually, I heard some shop at Rakuten.co.jp sends overseas.. but at a premium price.
Maybe ebay will help you out, Im sure there are no fake 4th generation eneloops yet... (because they dont sell them overseas)
Pretty sure they dont ship overseas.. you can give it a try though
They only ship to address’s in Japan but you can get use the forwarding service, that service will cost you $14 plus the Rakutens standard shipping rate. So if you break it down it would be around $6 -$7 a battery for 4 batteries with all the shipping fee’s added in; your gonna have to REALLY want these to pay that kind of Cash
Thanks, I am replacing my entire battery solution. I have not yet calculated the quantity i will need but a house of 5 with heavy electronics use. Im thinking 32 AA 16AAA a charger and some c&d size plastic convertes.
I will look into these suggestions!
thanks
I sure hope with that many batteries your not going to simply buy “a charger” your going to want a few of them.
For the additional cost of using a buying service to import (you can bulk buy 3rd gen cheaper domestically), is it really worth for those extra 300 cycles? I suppose if you really prefer the big Panasonic logo and must have the latest in consumer technology.
Thanks Chloe,
thanks a good point
please provide link to purchase bulk 3rd gen. and i will work out whats best. I really want a reliable seller though. I dont want to risk fakes
