But still no c-size.... :(

Release Nov. 14th, only in Japan. Wonder when they will come stateside

If they're new, how do they know they hold a charge for 5 years?

Well, not in north america anyway. In Japan they have been available for over 3 years.

hmmmm

Probably their the same as the first Eneloops, just that in time with better testing, some have proved to last 5 years and now they have found out how to make them stable and hold a charger for 5 years.

1800 cycles they say. 5 years have 1800 days. One charge holds 1800 days. one battery can be charged 1800 times.
